Sew, I started pinning some ideas on my Christmas pinterest board, and away I went this weekend. First up was finishing my Scrappy Christmas Tree. I was having a hard time finishing it because I couldn't figure out how to quilt it.
I decided to do a FMQ on the tree that looks like a combination of a strand of Christmas tree lights and ornaments. Maybe a stretch, but it looks fine from a far, so it works for me.
Then I did just horizontal lines around the tree on the linen part. The Italian is so happy to have it hanging on the fireplace. Normally I have a Christmas Moose hanging there, and he kind of thinks Rudolph is a little over the top. Maybe I'll hang the Moose in our room this year. Haha!!
Okay, after the Christmas tree was finished I went right into making pillows. I have a vision of Christmas pillows adorning my couch for the month of December. I'm trying to keep them rather simple. All the back will just be envelope closes. So far I've finished two pillows.
Just know that making that snowflake was harder than it looks. I'll confess that I had to do a google search for how to make a six sided snowflake. I love where my hobby of sewing has taken me. Never in my life would I have thought I'd need to google search how to make a snowflake, but how thankful am I that I can google such instructions!
Now I'm off to cut 100 circles and attempt to recreate this Crate and Barrel beauty. Wish me luck. I'm not the most well rested seamstress at the moment, but I'm crossing my fingers that my will to finish my Christmas pillows will keep me going!
