Celtic Christmas

It is a very long time since I posted this photo of the fabric pull for an upcoming project

Well, the top fabric was discarded in favour of green bias strips and the project eventually became this

 

my Celtic Christmas Bauble cushion! 

The applique is made with some of my carefully hoarded Liberty lawn and ready-made fusible bias strips. The pattern and instructions for the cushion has just been published in this

http://www.fatquarterly.com

There are so many wonderful projects in this issue it is hard to pick a favourite, but isn't that Christmas sweater themed quilt on the front cover just wonderful?

After a very long absence I am delighted to finally have a Friday finish :)

Linking up to  Crazy Mom Quilts

    Very festive :) . I like to decorate with pillows.
    Since we are having Thanksgiving at my daughter's house this year I am having a strong urge to get out the Christmas things. I am not looking forward to the mess that comes with it though. Yea for you in the Fat Quarterly! I like to look at the blogs of those contributing. Always finding something inspiring there. Janita
