Christmas Quilt Show

I decided to enter the Christmas Quilt Show over at:
Sewgal sponsors several really cool giveaways during the year, she is always fun to check out if you have a few minutes to go through the wonderful pages of fun stuff.  She shares interests with quilters, embroidery people and appliquers!  She has it all! 
And better yet, as a viewer, you can win prizes too!

This is a quilt I designed using EQ.  It was a challenge for The Stompin' Stitchers Bee of the CyberFriends Guild.  I think I won 2nd place.
The Challenge had everyone send in 6 Christmas Fat Quarters and 6 were distributed back to you for use in your quilt.  You had to use the majority of the FQ.  Mine were so diverse that I thought I would never find a way to get them in there all together.

But this is what happened.  I am hoping to get it quilted this year.  I am going to quilt my ribbon into the label on the back.  That is exactly what I will do!

  4. It must have been very challenging, but you did do a fine job designing this quilt. It has a very clean, defined look, and I like it very much. Love your dog header, too.

  14. Looking at your quilt, reading the story behind it, and then looking at your quilt again...I would had no idea that those fabrics were so diverse. You really brought them together. And it's so cute too! Very talented!
