UPDATE!
The winner of Julie's giveaway is:
QUILTING TANGENT
(Julie will send her an email)
Congratulations!
I met Julie at Quilted Works a few years ago. She knew my sister's husband's step-mother...or something like that...such a small world sometimes! Julie is always so nice and her smile is just the best! On one of my visits to the quilt shop I was able to talk her into joining us for the Ho Ho Ho blog hop. I'm so glad to have her post on my blog today!
Julie from Quilted Works
This is the first blog hop I've ever been involved in and I love to sew. I work at Quilted Works in St. George, Utah, a fabric and quilt shop. I love my job and my just-like-sisters co-workers, and I do long arm quilting for the shop. I'm a mother of four and a grandmother of fourteen. When I'm not sewing or quilting I'm doing family stuff.
This quilt is one I chose to do because I thought the pattern and fabric was so pretty and traditional. LED lights can be added to this quilt to give it extra sparkle. The fabric is Stonehenge Starry Night Metalics by Northcott Fabrics the Pattern is Starlight. I really liked doing this quilt and watching the snowflakes around the panel center take shape. The pattern made this quilt pretty easy. Here's a link if you are interested in a kit: Quilted Works - Starlight Quilt.
This quilt is Oh So Jolly. It was quick and easy and fun to do. The fabric is Oh So Jolly by Andrea Victoria for Insights Fabric. Here's a link if you are interested in a kit: Quilted Works - Oh So Jolly Quilt.

I love both your quilts. The green one is stunning all round and the colours on the other quilt are gorgeous! I do have one question.... LED-lights in a quilt????? That is one I never heard before! I am sure it would add sparkle and love the idea but: How would you do that?
ReplyDeleteI love the tree quilt and am intrigued by the idea of real lights on a quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway.
Two stunning quilts - I love them both!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
Your green tree is very impressive. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the pattern before in red. I'm so glad to see that you made this quilt. It is lovely. I've always wondered how the LED lights work with it. Is the tree on a panel or is it appliqué or what? However it came together, it is lovely. Thanks for sharing. kmcassie at gmail (DOT] com

in stitches
Both your quilts are winners. I want to see them in person.
ReplyDeleteThat green quilt is absolutely fabulous! I just love it!
ReplyDeleteJulie, Your quilts are fabulous. One looks so elegant to me and one looks fun. The green quilt is elegant. It certainly doesn't need LED lights yet I bet they would add another dimension to them. Your piecing and quilting are absolutely phenomenal. I love the Jolly Quilt, too. It looks like the fun side of Christmas. It reminds me of child side. It looks like a really fun, fun quilt to make. Thank you for a great giveaway. I have seen the BlocLoc demo'd at quilt shows and it is on a wish list. Someone is going to be very, very pleased. You are very generous. Thank you for participating and being generous. May God richly bless you and all your family. I have 3 grandboys and know what a blessing grandchildren are. My daughter just had a D&C last week to officially terminate an unsustainable pregnancy. She is doing ok now - it consumed much of her summer. She is a high school math teacher and school will be starting soon and she'll not have her two sons on which to focus but also lots of students and lessons. Again, thanks for sharing and a fabulous giveaway.
ReplyDeleteBeautifull quilts. The green one is so eye catching.
ReplyDeleteI love that green quilt. thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteBoth quilts are beautiful but I am really drawn to the green one it is so vibrant. I have not seen that ruler but if it helps with those pesky HSTs I would love one.
