Christmas Quilt Show 2010

 
There's a Christmas Quilt Show going on in blog land, so of course I wanted to jump in on the fun!  This is my Winterberry Wreaths quilt that appeared in Quilt Almanac Magazine this past year. 

It's now available as a pattern through Quiltwoman.com
**And Quiltwoman is having a Holiday Special of free shipping on retail orders of $20 & over through November 18th!

This quilt is surprisingly easy to make.  It's made up of only this one block, then the holly wreaths are appliqued to the light area that is created when the blocks are sewn together.  Simple :)

Maria Ohaver machine quilted this quilt for me with these fun reindeer and holly motifs all over (you can see them better in the photo on the back of the quilt). 

And just for fun I made a coordinating throw pillow that is also included as a little extra bonus in the pattern.

If you want to get in the Christmas Spirit and see some fabulous Holiday quilts on other blogs, pour a cup of tea, get comfortable, and hop on over to SewCalGal's blog for the links to this wonderful online Quilt Show. 

Enjoy the day!
