Christmas Pillowcases

I am looking for ways to use up lots of fabric and move it out of my space!

I think pillowcases will work great!

The sewing isn’t too involved and they make great gifts!

I sure didn’t give a lot of thought to staging, did I?! Maybe I should take the Halloween quilt down. Ha, ha!

I made 15 of these snowman pillowcases!

Some have already been gifted and the rest will be.

I have cut out more pillowcases and these will be given to a charity after I get them sewn.

Have fun and carry on!

Christmas Tree Quilt Block

I played with the Christmas Tree quilt block this week.  I chose it from Nancy Martin’s Perpetual Calendar 365 Quilt Blocks A Year.

I easily drew the block from a 6 x 6 grid.

Here is how it looks set on point in a quilt design:

And here is what happens when the blocks are rotated:

I like it!

How about adding a group of friendly snowman:

The snowmen will look cute when they are embellished with thread and buttons!

I found the applique shapes in Electric Quilt’s library.  I did alter them a bit, but EQ sure makes designing so much easier!

I need more contrast, but otherwise I’m happy with the designs.

Merry Christmas to you and your families!
