Design Wall Monday

 

Close up of Quilting


This is the other project that I am trying to spend a few hours each day working on and hoping to finish this month. This quilt was completed last year, but needed to be quilted. It is all custom quiltied. Both the quilt and the quilting patterns were designed by Kim Diamond of Sweet Dreams Quilt Studio. It is called Thoroughly Modern Christmas and was made entirely from my stash. This will take me awhile to get this one finished!

On the longarm.

I will be working on this, along with finishing up some behind the scenes projects and working on Clue 2 of the Bonnie Hunter Mystery. A lot to keep me busy, and I still need to get my tree up!

Hope you are enjoying the holiday season!

Bonnie has just released the fabric colors for this years Mystery, you can find it here if you want to join in. This years Mystery is called Indigo Way and the first clue releases on November 24.
