Christmas Green


I did get the quilt finished in time for Christmas for my son's girlfriend.


I think she really likes it!


This quilt is just like the one that I made during Hurricane Irene and posted about it here. 


 I ended up making 2 quilts like this.
The first top I made had all different greens in it.


My daughter and I decided that we really did not like the dark greens in it.


I will keep that one for myself.


I made this one without the darkest greens for the girlfriend.


It looks so much better than the other one and I am very happy with how it turned out.

The Middle of December Already


This baby quilt was for my newest great-nephew. I finally got it totally finished, label and all, and delivered over the weekend. The pattern is from the book Sew Simple Pineapple by Karin Hellaby. 



 Remember this quilt? It was my UFO for September. Kari is that special person to receive this quilt. Do you see the label pinned onto the front? Yes, I still have the quilt and I need to get that sewn on the back. Maybe I will get it on today.


I decided that for Christmas I would make a quilt for my son's girlfriend. 


I got this quilt started the week after Thanksgiving when my husband was in Pennsylvania deer hunting. It is the same pattern like this one. Her favorite color is green. This quilt is made from many different greens from my stash. I used green where the other one is white and I used white where the other one is orange. I do have the top done but have not taken a picture. Hopefully I will be quilting it soon.
