Signs of Christmas

Finished!!!


My longarmer, Terry Whitman is super busy so I will wait till the new year to have it quilted.

I added a few 'creative freedoms' where I had cut the blocks too small


 I think it just adds to the interest.


The machine stitches at the intersections worked out well.


Just in time to hang it for the festive season!!


Our guild is on the 'flange' kick right now...


...... this strip of black is for them!!

I think I have been bitten by the embroidery bug..

What to stitch next??

    2. Are you in Weyburn any time soon? If so, you could pick them up. If not, are you on Facebook? You could just message me your address and I could pop them in the mail. Either works for me.
