Today is my day for the "Think Christmas Blog Hop". I am excited because I just love Christmas sewing. It makes me feel so cheerful and happy. It is my second favorite holiday to sew for (right behind autumn).
Thank you Lesley and Madam Samm. for hosting this hop and cheering us on. You ladies are the best!!
This block was adapted from a pattern found in a McCalls Quilting Magazine pattern (the Christmas 2010 issue I believe). For some reason when I was looking at the pattern this block screemed out to me. Isn't it funny how that happens?
So here it is...
...and of course I can't wait until Christmas to display it so I now have it sitting under one of the Summer displays in my home.
Here is a list of the other bloggers in todays line up. Hop on over to see what they've put together. You won't be disappointed.
I hope you have a great day of hopping and take care!
XOXO,
Rene'

Beautiful Rene!! I as well am a primitive kind of gal and love the pattens as well as the fabric, and your summer display is lovely. Thank you for sharing. I'm now following you to see what else primitive you might have on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. My home is mostly primitive and I love browns, creams and reds. The only time of year I really deviate from that color scheme is during the Autumn when I replace the reds and creams with oranges, blacks and greens.

ReplyDeleteI love your block and that doll is so precious!
ReplyDeleteI really like the block you chose. I also like primitive colors. It's funny when something screams my name it's usually dirty dishes not a quilt block.
ReplyDeleteRene...I love it...it just grabbed the primitive side of me. I can see one of those in my house!! Thanks for sharing, happy stitching!!
ReplyDeleteHi Rene - Thanks for contributing to the Think Christmas quilt blog hop! I love blog hops-they are so motivational because people like you are so creative. Right now I'm working on the Craftsy BOM blocks because they "reveal" it at the beginning of the month. I am using batik fabrics, but it would be nice to do in holiday fabrics.
ReplyDeleteRene, I really like your block and especially the quilting you did on it ... very pretty all the way around! thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteLike your block, and love that you've already put it to use! Thanks for sharing.
