Peppermint Place Quilt project Christmas in July



                                           

Hi

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July !

After finishing my Willow Weave quilt I decided it was time to look for my next quilt project and there it was ................ PEPPERMINT PLACE 6 month  BOM !!  PERFECT!

For you that follow my blog you may remember this was a gift that was given to me by Doreen for my B-day / Christmas present .  When I received my first block in January I made it right away and then other projects came up and it just sat.  Meanwhile every month I would receive another block to make. I plan on finishing this UFO this month so that I can enjoy it for Christmas .


                       ISN'T THIS JUST THE CUTEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



                   January I made Block  #1  " St. Nick's Nest "


                    Tuesday I made Block #2  " Snowbirds Welcome "


                    Wednesday I made Block # 3 " All Decked out "
                    I still need to finish the machine applique & embroidery on






 Thursday I cut out all of my pieces for block # 4  " Sweet Treats "
                                and found that I was short on the fabric for the perch. I contacted the
                                shop & they are mailing me that fabric :-D

  Thursday I cut out all of my pieces for block # 4  " Sweet Treats and found that I was short on the fabric for the perch. I contacted the  shop &  they are mailing me that fabric :-D





   So.....................  Thursday I finished sewing bock # 5  " Pine Tree Perch "
You may notice that  the bottom 1/2 is not sewn on. The pattern says not to sew this
till I get to pattern #6 . Also I still need to machine applique & do a little embroidery .



 This is pattern #6  " ASSEMBLING THE QUILT  I will not be able to do anymore sewing on this till Sunday .  I think I will start on pattern # 6 and keep going till my fabric comes in the mail to complete #5. I plan on piecing everything then machine applique, embroider everything  and then sew the top together :-D


THE FINISHED SIZE OF THIS QUILT IS  64" X 64 "


HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !!!
