Holiday projects

This morning I was surprised to discover that the final step for Temecula Quilt Company's TINY TREE sew-along had been released.  I hadn't really been keeping track, so I didn't realize that it was coming to an end.  In any case, it was quick work to sew the blocks into rows and add side triangles to form the tree.

As I was rummaging through the holiday tub for a nice small piece to make the back, I came across a new contender for oldest fabric in my stash.  (!!!) 

I'll spend the next couple of evenings doing some simple hand quilting on it, and getting the binding turned back.  Another cute little holiday project done!

And I don't think I ever shared a photo of my completed DASHING THROUGH THE SNOW quilt, another Temecula Quilt Company sew-along which ran earlier this fall. 

Sheryl Johnson, the owner of Temecula, also announced that they will be offering a SCAVENGER HUNT sew-along beginning in January, so if you like the look of Temecula's projects, check that one out!

Old Fashioned Christmas and Tiny Tree

I worked ahead a bit, and finished up my version of 

OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS.

This is a low-key sew-along being offered by Pam Buda at Heartspun Quilts. I added the borders --  the sample didn't have them.  Pam gives clear, careful instructions, and I'm pleased with my little mat.

I'm also doing the teeny little blocks for Temecula Quilt Company's TINY TREE sew-along.  They are very small and very simple, and only take about 10 minutes as I begin my morning.
