I made 2 Peace on Earth tops, similar but each very scrappy. This first one is now complete with free motion quilting and a sleeve on back for hanging. It finished at 30 x 37. I used 2 glide threads on the top, a medium gray and a navy in the black fabric so I could see where I stitched. I used a forest green in the bobbin to match the fabric on back.

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 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.
