Hi everyone!!
It`s my day for the Think Christmas blog hop.
I`d like to thank Madame Samm And Lesley for organizing this event.
Edited at 12:44 Aug.4,2012:
I decided to take pictures outside with natural light.
The original pictures below were taken at 1:30 in the morning when I finished my quilt.
Ha....ha.. I know....I was at the last minute.
But, I worked 6 out of seven days coming up to my day...so...you know how it goes..LOL!!!
So those are the new pics.
I kept the originals below.
I got my Christmas fabric scraps out and decided to make 4, 6.5 inch blocks.
I fussy cut the centre squares with snowmen prints.
I designed these blocks one day when I was making sketches in my book.
I decided to sew them together to make a 12.5 inch block.
Then I made a 3.5 inch string border.
I hand quilted this little quilt with embroidery floss.
I hope you like it!!
I just got this done in the nick of time!!
Don`t forget to visit the other blogs today!
It`s been a wonderful blog hop so far.
