Quilts
53 – 54 – 55
Tis The
Season
I just
pulled out my Christmas decorations and thought it would be fun,
from now until Christmas, to photograph and post holiday projects
made over the years.
53 - Midnight Blues

The
inspiration for these quilts came from two different quilts seen in
magazine. One included liberated stars made popular by Gwen
Martson and the other was a Christmas village with Santa flying
overhead.
Midnight
Blues
I made this quilt in 2001, as a Christmas Quilt, but I really like it so it stays
on the wall all year round.

The top and bottom sections are pieced. Sulky Sliver Thread was used for the quilting.

The village is raw edge appliqued, each piece was fused and the edges were finished using a small zigzag.

Under a Night Sky I & II
Scaling
it down a bit made it feasible as a class project.
