A bit of Christmas Magic…….

This quilt is designed by Kim Diehl and its called Christmas Magic, and is in her book the ‘Simple Seasons’ – I love this book and I love this quilt….. I have finally finished it.

I had it professionally quilted by Nat from ‘The Quilting Bug’ a while ago and all that needed doing to it was sewing all the buttons onto it. Red buttons for the berries and black buttons on the snowmen.
Here’s some of Nat’s fantastic quilting.
Lovely swirly swishes all around the border….

There are a few of Kim’s quilts in her book that I want to make so it looks like I am going to have a busy year next year.

I have been busy with these

Still a bit of Christmas sewing to do and its not far away ……eeeek!
Thanks so much to the lovely ladies who told me that my PayPal was behaving itself. I appreciate you doing that for me. The price of the postage for the Charm Squares is calculated into the price ……I couldn’t work it out any other way. One day I will be an expert at it all.
Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend.
hugs to all……..Vicki ReinDeer

  8. Lovely quilt and lovely quilting.
    I am sewing on the binding of my Christmas Blues that Nat quilted and I called in and saw the bestie machine the other day.
    I am aiming to finish the Christmas dresden...very very soon. In fact the lack of my favorite TV programs may be a bonus tonight
