An eventful day yesterday. Our first great grandchild was born - Julie Jean Bevilockway 7lbs 2 oz and 20" long. What a blessing for our family.
I also completed the Evergreen quilt from Cluck Cluck Sew. I added a small outer border to the pattern as I like borders on my quilts. I used an assortment of Christmas fabrics for the top and backed it with Christmas Gnomes Snow Globe Toss fabric from P & B Textiles. The quilt finished at approximately 73" x 98".
I machine quilted it with an edge to edge pantograph called Christmas Ornaments Tear Drop from Quilting Pantographs using Glide thread in the color Cool Grey 3.
I called this one "Winter Magic". It just seemed appropriate for the magical day it turned out to be.
When I first saw the pattern it was one of our customer's quilts that we quilted at The Quilt Shop at Christensen's and I knew I had to buy the pattern and make it. As my Christmas fabric collection is fairly large I knew I would have enough variety to make this quilt a fun one. I already had someone in mind who will receive this one. I had made all of her sisters their own quilts and left this one for last for no other reason than that's just the way it worked out. I hope she enjoys this quilt for years to come. My quilts are meant to be used and loved and worn out. Then we can make a new one!!!
May you all find joy in your journey.
Much love,
Amy B
