Easy to Sew Pattern Finished


I started this quilt top almost two years ago using Marcia's "Easy to Sew Quilt Pattern". It is hard to believe it took so long to finish because the blocks go together really fast.

I've been on a mission to finish my UFO's before diving in and starting other work.  When I work on a project I don't always start the pattern with a finished size in mind.  That becomes a problem because I end up setting aside too many of my favorite fabrics until the project is complete.  I used some of my Dye Candy Hand Dyes and Kaffe Fassett fabrics purchased from Canton Village Quilt Works. I'm happy to say I still have plenty of Kaffe fabrics left to play with.  Whoohoo, free at last!!!

Christmas sales of my stained glass ornaments were so strong this year that I ran out of product.  I had to stop taking orders a few days ago.  I even shipped an order to North Pole Alaska.

In a few more days my son will be home from college. We can't wait to have him here at Christmastime.

I  hope you are surrounded by all of your loved ones this holiday season. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas from Wisconsin!
