Welcome to my stop on the Christmas Is In My Heart Blog Hop and special thanks to
for coordinating this wonderful holiday event.
I make quilty gifts for several friends and members of my family annually. This is the beginning of this years projects.
It was a bit labor intensive, it is made up of a bazzillion 1 1/2 inch squares.
It involved lots of organizing.
But it was so worth it.
I love the shadow. This was a bear of a piece to shoot. It measures in at 18 by 72.
I couldn't resist the picture with the palm trees in the background. This is my first winter in Florida which is a far cry from New Jersey weather wise
You really can't tell but the deer is really pixilated.
Next gift is the same size and not pixilated. This one was a breeze in comparison.
I tried to get shots outside but they just looked washed out so I put it where it belonged, on the table.
This one is going to a friend who celebrates both Chanukkah and Christmas so I thought I would make it so she can flip it over from one holiday to the next.
And yes I know that a Heart was to be incorporated in our work so I created a mug rug to go with the table runner.
and added a little stitching
I hope your enjoyed your stop here and I hope you get to visit all of the other participants to date.
Here is today's list

That is pretty creative to make the runners using portions of a row quilt project. I love the reindeer. Also love the reversible runner idea. Clever!
ReplyDeleteBoth tablerunners are quite lovely. AND amazing. All those tiny pieces for the reindeer runner. I love reversible runners...they save storage space and get used more often. And the little mug rug is very striking...love the blue and white. I'm sure the recipients will be very pleased!
ReplyDeleteMy hat is off to you for the 1 inch squares! EEEK! I am doing Quiltmaker's Bitty Blocks, and the tiny pieces are hard!
ReplyDeleteWow, very unique and creative. You definetly have patience with those tiny blocks
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely runners. The reindeer is so pretty but all those pieces! I would have a lot of unsewing to do. The reversible runner is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteYour friends will love their gifts.
Merry Christmas.
Just beautiful! I love giving table runners as gifts, quick to make (well, maybe not that reindeer pattern!) and easy to use.

Amazing quilts! Even though you made tons of those little squares it does look like you've made a science of the cutting! Great projects; my favorite is the trees even if it wasn't quite as much work.
ReplyDeleteChristmas is in your heart here at Selina's Quilts today... Great runners and especially incorporating them into two different holidays, and different techniques, quite a nice idea.. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeletewhat great work on such a 'fussy" kind of project--but you did a wonderful job--love them all-
