Christmas sewing projects

I have loved sewing this December! The fabrics are so yummy this year - I love all the pinks, reds, and greens!

I had to make a few owls to nestle in my tree.
Love how the shirts turned out.
I made this small quilt out of a charm pack as a gift for our book club gift exchange. The theme was "favorite things" and coordinating fabrics are my favorite things! My friend Megan was the recipient. I think she loved it.
I made a stocking for Olivia - it turned out so cute - now I am jealous and want to make me a new stocking since mine is made out of jewel tones from 1999!
I made this quick table topper for my mom-in-law.
This was my favorite quilt so far. Just a simple pattern of off set squares - but I love the size - it's huge! It was so hard to quilt on my sewing machine - it about killed me. But I love snuggling with it!

The back is a little funky - I had to order the tree flannel and they didn't send the right amount because they ran out - so then I was piecing everywhere to try and get it big enough!

  19. Ok It has been 3years since you showed this quilt
    have you ever gave the pattern location or told where to buy it or even who designed it? It is a simple one I know, if it was your design why were you so secret over this quilt? Oh well too bad for all those ladies above and the ones on Pinterest who asked and asked and you have ignored the request

  21. The above is the link to the pattern. Scroll about halfway down. I wrote to the blogger and she was very apologetic about not publishing the pattern. It was one she just made up and didn't write down. She pulled the quilt out of storage to measure it!
