Another Finish: Victorian Santa

 Hello Everyone!

As I mentioned in my previous post, my next project was going to be a Santa.  Well, I worked on him.  Here he is "built" and finally clothed a bit:

He's fairly large at 22" (55.88cm).  The kit came with everything except the material for the gown and coat.  I chose silver and purple, partially because the accent pieces would go with those colors and I didn't have a Santa dressed in purple in my collection.

Here is the completed Santa:

Behind him, you can see a few of the other Santas in my collection.  I've got my Christmas decorations up already.  It's early, even for me, but...2020.  'Nuff said.

Here are a couple of my trees.  The first one is in our living/dining room.

The second tree is in my sewing room/office.  It's decorated in...Santas!

   

My next project, which I've already started, is a Christmas wall hanging quilt.  Hopefully, I'll have it finished before November 27th when Bonnie Hunter's new mystery quilt starts.

Happy Stitching!

Hello Everyone!

While 2020 has been a bad year in many ways, at least I'm getting projects done!

My most recent start and finish is called Spin City and it is a small wall quilt.  The quilt measures 31" square.

I used (2) 5" charm packs from this fabric line:

This was the first time that I actually used any of my precut collections!  I felt sort of guilty for even opening one up, so I chose one of my least favorite sets.  ;-)

The binding (and backing) are a Moda marble fabric that I already had.  The small inner border was just another fabric from my stash.

The pattern, Spin City, is from this book (Kindle and paperback versions):

Here is my finished quilt:

I really like the finished quilt.  I wasn't too sure when I looked at the individual fabrics as quite a few of them aren't my normal style.  It has a bit more of an Autumn vibe than the quilt I had hanging there.  In a couple of weeks, it will get (temporarily) replaced by a small Santa quilt I have.

Next project is going to be a Santa Claus kit I've had for awhile.  It's an actual standing figure rather than a quilt or cross stitch project.  I'm ashamed to say that I don't even know how many years I've had the kit!  I did have to buy my own fabrics for the coat and gown.

Happy Stitching!
