God Jul Everyone!

Hello Friends~
 My issue Simply Moderne Magazine arrived this week and my God Jul quilt pattern is in this issue!  Thank you Rachael Daisy for encouraging me to submit this quilt.
 I love how they styled it!  Very Danish.
 The pattern looks so good, I might just make another one in different colors.  I hope other quilters are inspired to make it.
Here are some photos from last year while I was making the pattern and quilt.
 I made this quilt start to finish in 2 weeks to enter Quilt Con.  It was rejected.....sigh
 my sewing room helper.
nice dog hair on my background.  Oh coco, I love you.
MY EPIC FAIL!
Toile' the Night Before Christmas
I finished it January 2016 - THAT IS TWO YEARS AGO!

Here is the original post.  In my defense, I have been doing a lot more quilt teaching and traveling.....but still!

Hey, at least I found it this morning...
 To commemorate seeing a final show of the Ringling Bros. BB Circus last year, I'm using this fabric on the back.
 I guess they didn't get the RB trademark because this is not a real circus.
 I also have this wonderful circus animal print which I may or may not use.
Yesterday I cleaned my sewing room to ready it for Santa's Wrapping Workshop.
 My little pink and red tree.  I have to find the tree topper today.
I know how busy everyone is, but I just want to say thank you to all the readers who leave nice comments.  I appreciate each and every one. 

Hope your holiday preparations are going well.  Here is a link to Sue Garman's Blog, where her family has posted all the quilts from the remarkable exhibit this year at the Houston Quilt Festival: 

enjoy! xo

God Jul!

Ta-Da!  Happy Winter Solstice and the shortest day of the year.

God Jul Quilt for Rich - 2016
This is my modern version of a Christmas Quilt.   It is for my Danish husband, Rich.  This is our 31st Christmas together and we love celebrating the season.

It was a very dark day here in CT.  I'm in my cocnigto costume to hide bad hair and no makeup and not being dressed at 1:30pm - ha ha
 The back could not be plainer to keep with the modern theme of the quilt.
 One of my favorite features is the blueberry binding.  Thank you Hanna for being the photographer today.
 I made the quilt in exactly 2 weeks from design to binding.  I entered it in QuiltCon and was rejected.   Oh well, Rich loves it anyway and so do I.


coco had a great time without her collar running all around our big rock in the front.  We had a hard time getting back inside.

I wish you a wonderful Winter Season and God Jul!
