You worn out your Christmas slippers already?LaughLaugh

I finally finished the top of a quilt today, hand applique it was a bom from Bunny Hill design.

I didn't care for her December block so I changed that a bit.

Now I have to finish it, but I will tie it, I don't think quilting will do this quilt justice..(ok ok and it is easy tooWink)

Pictures are on my blog.

Astrid, I finally took a look at those pics on your blog!  I LOVE the appliqued quilting!  It is so country feeling….. and putting the christmas tree in instead of another snowman was just brilliant!  That top is just beautiful!!!!

I love the gingerbread basket with the little Chritstmas tree quilt. Is there a place on your blog to click for English translation?

Leah, her translate button is over on the right toward the top and it is a rectangle with the word "Translate" in it.  She hasn't always had it, but it is working now.

Congratulations Cindy, those slippers look really snug and warm Smile

If it's got tyres or testicles it's trouble.

jane, i only used 1 strand of yarn………it was just something that came about after I started crocheting.  I did try to do some instructions on my blog.  It's not a formal pattern, so I didn't put it here.

Wow Sheryl, your even a faster painter than printers can print.!

I picked up my Christmas quilt again, started it November 2008, of course didn't finish it before Christmas, but 2009 it should be finished.

Oops…Hey but there will be a Christmas again in 2010 right? and I'm almost finished..a few more stars to (hand)quilt and then I'm done.ShimmyShimmy
