Xmas Quilt

Today I would like to show you an old pre-blogging days (xmas 2012) quilt finish.  It is a Christmas quilt I made for my family so it felt right to show it today at the start of our holiday season.

I made the quilt using the Briar Rose pattern by England Street Quilts and a jelly roll of Joy by Kate Spain.  Joy is still one of my favorite Xmas fabric collections with its addition of the blue prints.  I still have a charm pack of Joy that I am hoarding :)

I made this quilt before I got my Bernina so it was pieced and quilted on my old 1980's slant shank Singer.  The sewing machine does not have any sort of extension table so quilting this large lap size quilt was a bit difficult and hard on the wrists.  I used a loopy quilting pattern with some stars and my families name thrown in once and a while.



In other news, thank you so much for making the launch of Looking Glass such a success!  The pattern reached the #2 best seller spot on craftsy.  You can still get the pattern for the reduced price of $5.50 for one more day (the pattern will go up to its full price on Sunday Dec 7th).  You can find the pattern in both my Etsy shop and Craftsy shop.
