If you follow my blog you must know that I love Christmas. And I love quilting. Of course that brings on a lot of Christmas themed quilts. So when Jennifer pointed out to me the SewCalGal’s Christmas Quilt Show I knew I had to participate 😀
First I bring you ‘Jólasveinakvæði’ (or the Yuletide lads quilt) witch I designed and made before last Christmas.
It is based on an old Icelandic folk tale about 13 brothers who now days serve as kind of an Icelandic Santa’s.
I also made a small table runner from some of my yuletide collection test pieces
Next up is Tree Trimming a design from Sewhooked Witch I made for my grandparent’s wedding anniversary (December 23d) last year.
My Christmas project this year is what I call ‘Sue got mail’ This little wall-hanging has pockets to hold my Christmas cards (once they start arriving) again these are patterns from Sewhooked
I’m also working on patterns based on the classic christmas cartoon Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. And am planing on making placemats from these 🙂
These are my Christmas offerings 🙂
Be sure to go to http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/ and see all the other holiday loveliness 🙂

Your quilts are adorable. The first one reminds me of some patterns that I have from Alaska with little eskimos. I should get them out and make them up. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m so glad you posted your Christmas quilts! If I can get a good photo of the one I just finished putting the binding on, it will be up today. It’s been raining here (yay!), so I haven’t had a chance for a good outdoor photo like I usually do.
Thank you for pointing it out to me 🙂
at least you only have rain, I’m knee high in snow when I go out the door these days 😛
