Finished! It's always a great feeling to have completed a project regardless of how long it took. All the work and planning and imagining means nothing until a quilt is bound and hung and photographed. Long sentence.
This quilt was adapted from the pattern My Christmas Album by Tina Curran. Some of the blocks are my own design such as the ice skates above. I hand appliquéd all the motifs in wool on cotton backgrounds and borders.
Take a moment to note the long arm machine quilting done by Ann Becker, Always in Stitches. Each block was quilted differently, picking up the theme of the appliquéd motifs. Little quilting details were added - see if you can find them. Ann does amazing work and turns each quilt into a personal work of art. Her love of what she does really shows.
This kind of machine quilting is beyond me, though I'll continue to work at my own level.
As always, quilting makes the quilt. Feast your eyes.

DeleteSo cute!! I've never worked with wool before...where do you buy your wool?
ReplyDeleteHi - I collect wool from many sources. I hand-dye some of my own wool, buy a few pieces at quilt shops if I need certain colors, repurpose thrift shop wool clothing and I have friends who share.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments!
