Peace on Earth
I have been working on christmas items these past few weeks. I fell in love with an item in the Connecting Threads catalog. It burned in my mind until I had to make one. What was I thinking...lots of piecing and lots of applique. I also work under the theory that if you're gonna make one, it's just as quick to make two at the same time. I have the top to the first one ready to sandwich and quilt and the second top is waiting for the trees. It is fusible applique. I think I will quilt with silver thread which will sparkle in the black background. I will stitch it down & quilt at the same time. My letters are a tad too big but I love it anyway. Of course, one is for me and I will gift one.
I'm joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.

Christmas Candle Mat
I got out the christmas fabrics... progress seems very slow. Today I have this small octagon candle mat to share. It finished at 18 inches. I created it from a photo on the internet. If I made another one, it will definitely be larger at 24 inches. It was a bit of a challenge trying to get the striped portion to be the same width as the larger corner triangle sections.

Swirling Star Christmas Toppers
I've started some christmas sewing. This is messy business. This week I made these two toppers. They are from the Swirling Star pattern designed by Krista Moser. You can get your own free pattern HERE .
They finish at 24 inches hexagon shape. I used some gorgeous fabrics with a gold metallic accent.
Naturally I quilted them with Military Gold Glide thread and a dark green glide thread in the bobbin. I free motion quilted them, with and without rulers. Here is the view from the backs.
