Christmas Quilt Along

What are you doing this Saturday?  I have just been reminded that Saturday is the Christmas Quilt Along.  I plan to work on two table runners that I call Christmas Cactus.

On Saturday, Quilters from around the world will be working on Christmas projects and blogging their work.  Also, at each monthly session, a new star block pattern is revealed for a Christmas Quilt.  Great idea Sue and Cathi!  Can't wait to join you on Saturday, but it will be in the afternoon because in the morning I will be at the Rare and Exotic Sale looking for a male, gobbler Bourbon turkey.  There's a story behind this, but I'll post that in another blog.

My Blue Heaven

My Blue Heaven
This is an Australian Patchwork & Quilting pattern by Therese Hylton.  My quilting group has been working on this sampler over the last two years.  Using a colour palette of blue and cream, this project combines piecing and applique.  We also plan to do another of Therese Hylton's patterns, also found in Australian Patchwork & Quilting, Peaches and Cream.
