Welcome to the Country Charmer Quilt Parade

I am so happy to have been able to make this wonderful quilt and lucky enough to be able to display it in my home for Christmas.

Nantucket Progress 9 - patch blocks

Busy week for  everyone with all the traveling & cooking for Thanksgiving !

I know I have been busy trying to finish my Christmas shopping and not getting much sewing done.

Started cutting my 9 patch blocks for Nantucket

excited to start sewing my borders on the quilt

I wanted to share with you the Christmas gift I purchased for my daughter & her hubby. I purchased these gorgeous frames on Etsy.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING !!!

Nantucket stars

It was a bumpy road in the beginning but I finally started my Nantucket quilt !

I ordered a Nantucket quilt kit a couple of weeks ago & when it arrived it was missing 1- 3/4 yard piece of  background fabric . Also I did not like some of the fabrics in the kit so I had to order a few more fabrics .  Once I had all of my fabric I started making my stars Sunday.  These are big ... 15 1/2" and so easy to make . Did I tell you how much I love this Midwinter Reds fabrics !

Now onto making the 180  9 patches .

Nantucket , Binding & Hot Air Balloon

It has been a fun week ! My  Nantucket quilt kit I ordered  arrived and just look at all of these yummy Midwinter Reds fabrics !  I  have started cutting my fabrics AND

All of my fabric is cut for the 9 center stars and now I am cutting all of my background fabrics

                          I also finished sewing  the binding on my A Day In Giverny Quilt

AND.........  I have my binding on Willow Weave   all machine sewn on and ready to hand sew

My hubby &  2 daughters  had  a birthday party for me Saturday .   So much fun with all my family & friends .  My actual b-day is not till Friday the 15th so I am not 60 yet.

A group of them went in together and surprised me with a gift of riding in a Hot Air  Balloon in Napa  !  How Exciting !

Willow Weave is home

Look what arrived in my mailbox !           WILLOW WEAVE !

 I made this quilt with a jelly roll of  Dancing in the Rain fabric and the quilt was a  jelly roll sew along online with Doreen Aunt Reen's Place .

                            Mary QUILT HOLLOW quilted a paisley quilt pattern  &   I love it !
She always does  amazing quilting for me and always knows just the perfect quilting pattern to use on my quilts.

                                    The fabric backing is also from Dancing in the Rain

                                       I can not wait to start binding this quilt

Happy Monday
