A Christmas Wish Update

Last weekend I finished the last block of A Christmas Wish by Gail Pan. It will be nice to have a new quilt for Christmas this year.




I haven't decided yet whether I'll finish the quilt as Gail did or do my own thing. Whatever I do this Judie Rothermel fabric that I found last Saturday at Picture Patchwork will feature. It goes nicely with both the red and green borders. When I got home, I discovered I already had a fat quarter of it in my red/green/shirtings box! It must have caught my eye on an earlier shopping trip too.

It is my day off today. So far I've been to the beach with Molly for a walk and swim and cooked some healthy stuff for the weekend. Should do some cleaning but time for stitching now.

    Your block is adorable! I understand how that shirting could catch your eye more than once. It has got to be one of the cutest! I so love shirtings and will have to be on the look out for that one.

    Love the 'Civil War' background, and keep in mind, stitching forever, housework whenever. :)

    What a great background fabric. That could be used for so many things.

    And congrats on finishing the Gail Pan blocks. Aren't they just the sweetest blocks?

    Congratulations on finishing your Christmas BOM. It's really darling; and lucky you to have a new Christmas quilt this year! I love your cafe blocks too. I'm really starting to get into the embroidered blocks, especially the redwork. I'll have to try some soon.

    All the best,
    Susan

    Well done on finishing all the blocks, I can't wait to see it together, the civil war fabric looks perfect for it, I have mine all carefully put away in a box for when I'm ready to start it... Lucky Mollie getting to go swimming I better not tell Archie he'd be so jealous...
