Christmas quiltalong update




Yay! My Scatty Christmas Stars is done and I just LOVE it! Mine is made all out of men's shirts. So, I am renaming mine, A Simple Man's Christmas. Thanks so much, Sue and Cathi for this pattern! I just loved it. Though I do have to admit my heart was in my throat when I had to cut the triangles off! lol

I did some more work on my Delfina's Baskets quilt top, also, but no pictures of that to show yet.

Tomorrow is cleaning the house and putting up a ton of tomatoes so I doubt I will get any sewing in, but so glad that I got this finished!! Now my pile of tops to be quilted is getting too big, though, so guess quilting some of these up is next on my list!!

Night and thanks for sharing the quiltalong with me! Oh...and I still have lots more of our surprise packages to share with you so stay tuned!

  7. I love it! All the gents shirts I see on the charity shop are stripes & plaids which I'm worried about using (matching up and all that) - but I can see just how striking they can be! Marvellous!
