hello everyone ~
i’m thinkin’ many of you are happily ensconced in multiple projects for christmas, huh? … me… too! not only my own, but for others, too, at least on a limited basis.
i’ve taken on a few custom orders lately; these two smaller quilts for my friend mary, featuring a navy blue, red and green with white ribbons… and i decided to add gold thread to bring out the fabric’s gold stars, and for the first time, i tried a bit of double needle stitching, free motion style, in the dark background of the trumpet wall hanging ~ fun!
i also added lyrics from some favorite christmas hymns for the quilting, and because one was a table runner, it looks backwards here, but that way everyone on each side of the table will be able to read that side…

mary will finish the bindings, so it’s a treat not to have to finish that and i can move into the next project! and georgia is hangin’ out, happy not to move! at least for the moment.. happy for the {rare} moment to be relaxing with brian in the chair!
happy holiday {prep} days to you!

I just read about the twin needle FMQ just before I came to visit you and it really lends itself to the kinds of table runners you do. Brava.
Ah, great Christmas projects! Putting my feet up sounds pretty enticing this time of year, lol! Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!
I like the double needle affect and George too. Bet it's might cold up there !
