Well you can all see what I have been up to all year! These are all quilts I have been busy making for Christmas,. I can show them here because none of my kids look at blogs and don't think they even know my blog address. This first one is for Heather my middle grandaughter. The pictures don't show the brightness of the yellows, blue, green and purple. the backing is all blue and green fleece piece signs.
This is a king size I made for my oldest son. I machine quilted all the white triangle sides and corners. It came out nicer than the pictures show.
This one you can't see very well, all the fabric depict wine or wine labels or grapes or wine bottles. The center is an old tapestry that was a book cover and it has women stomping grapes and picking in the vineyard. The back is all wine bottles and wine barrel fabric. This is for my younges son who has a vineyard.
This is a small throw. again the colors don't show well, it has bears and antelope and deer in the dark brown fabric and is Kyle who is my daughters boyfriends son. They will be with us all on Christmas.
This next quilt the picture came out the best as it was taken at one of our Klamath Falls Charming Chicks Meetings. This is a queen size all in black, white and red and is for my daughter. I also made two huge pillow shams for it that I was just finishing up yesterday when the sewing machine went on the blitz so I am taking it in for
repair work today. At least I finished all the quilts before it went on the blink. The back of this one is all solid red. It was quilted at heart to heart quilters in Merrill.
The next quilt is not good for color on the picture. It is very bright pinks and orange and browns. The butterflys were all applique. The backing is all pink fleece and has soccer balls and the words love on it.
this last on is for Kristen. It is very bright in Pink, yellow and lime green. She is the youngest of my 2nd sons three girls. I am sure they will all enjoy there personal quilts. The next one I make is going to be for myself. Right now I am taking a break from sewing. Will start again after I come home from my trip to California for the holidays. I will be taking the train down on Wednesday and coming home on the 30th. Here is wishing all of you a Happy Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year!!!!
