Vintage Christmas quilt back from the quilter

Like most of you we have been busy decorating the house for Christmas...

My Vintage Christmas quilt is back from my quilter Mary of quilthollow



                   The quilting design is Forest and I just love the texture it gives this quilt


                                        The pattern is Vintage Christmas by Erica Arndt.


The first I did when the mailman delivered it Saturday was to make a quilt sleeve and sew on my binding. Now I will have a warm cozy to quilt to keep me warm while I hand sew the binding on.


My Grandson got his first haircut Saturday morning and then went to see Santa that afternoon with his new big boy haircut. He is just growing too fast



My next post will be pictures of our home decorated

Happy Sewing!
