Good morning from a very cold east coast , we are bracing for our first major winter storm tomorrow , lots of snow and lots of wind and it is mighty cold out there , not the norm for us for December but it does help put us in the Christmas spirit , I love a white Christmas :-)
Away back in June I joined in on the Christmas QAL & challenge with Joanna and Hazel our hostesses and our challenge was presented by Sue . I love a challenge and this one involved making a Christmas project with specific measurements that did not have any red or green , now that is quite the challenge but I was up for it or so I thought ;-) I went to my stash of Christmas fabrics which is not that large to begin with and the only thing I found was some pink and blue fabrics both with snowflakes , ok , that will work ,so off I went to make my block for that month . I did not have a lot of either fabric so I chose to make a block I felt I could work into a runner and each month I added to this challenge in someway. The end result was to measure no more than 96" and could be any shape as long as the outside measurements did not exceed this total . Did I manage to do that , well I was over by 1/2" or slighlty less , I measured but did not have my camera handy and I meant to go back and take that picture but I completely forgot and I mailed it off this week. I had taken a picture of the runner a while ago when I finished the quilting but did not realize I needed to measure until later and did not retake that photo.
Thanks for stopping by today and if you are in the path of the storm stay safe , warm and cosy inside where you can sew to your hearts content.
Hugs Sheila
I think you did a great job with the challenge and sure the receipiant is very pleased.
ReplyDeleteThe colors and blocks you selected a wonderful Sheila. What a great gift.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in Sheila, I hope you enjoyed it. Your runner is great, and I bet the recipient was very happy with it.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I like the snowflakes, and the different blocks. If we do this again next year, maybe I'll make a runner, or some other gift idea.
ReplyDeleteHello, Sheila, I really enjoy your blog but find it very difficult to read due to the small font. Would it be possible for you to enlarge it? I would so appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteSheila, that runner looks beautiful. The snowflake fabric in any color looks sweet. Who knew blue, pink and grey could work so well in a Christmas project. Thanks for joining in.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the challenge. Stay safe as winter descends in your neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely winter runner. You captured the tone of the QAL perfectly.

Just lovely Sheila...your work always is. We are freezing here too; was in Moncton today grocery shopping and to our youngest gradnson's hockey game in Hillsboro this afternoon. It was cold!!!!

ReplyDeleteVery simple and lovely. My favorite blocks if I had to choose some and they look so wintery!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ideas your share here
ReplyDeleteSo far, I am looking for a source of reference on various websites
Now I have found what I was looking for all this time
I state that the technology used is not as sophisticated as the technology in your country
Although I had a lot of obstacles with existing technologies in Indonesia in my country, but I keep the spirit to strive to be the best, one of which is a reference from your idea that really helped me.
Once again I want to say thank you
