Do you remember last December when I posted about a couple of different Christmas quilts? You can go back and read about it here. I was hoping to do a sew-along with online friends, but no one else showed any interest in working on either one of these, so I chose The Merry Christmas Quilt by Heart to Hand, and was bound and determined to make it and get it done by this Christmas. I'm so happy and excited that I stuck with this and got it all finished and actually hung up before Christmas! This was no small feat, as we have a huge, open wall over our stairway, and that is where we decided to hang it. I ordered a curtain rod and hubby got it hung up this morning. Luckily he has a ladder that can be set up on stairs, but it still was no small task.
This is the perfect spot for a larger quilt, and now I will have to be thinking about what I want to hang there next. I don't have many (any?) seasonal quilts, so who knows what will go up next.
In my last post I showed our new ruler boxes...
We have sold tons of them (thanks, everyone!) - DH has been spending evenings and weekends working on them. And I have a trunk show and presentation coming up in a week in Iowa City that we need some more jewelry for. So, needless to say, we are busy elves around here!
Now to get my trees decorated!
Have a great weekend!
It's just beautiful! I've made 3 of the quilts in the series and change them out throughout the year. I am currently working on the last one The Garden Quilt. I love them all but I think the Christmas quilt is my favorite! Congratulations on finishing. It looks wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful Julie~well done!! Love the hardware you hung it from too! Looks great there! Glad that Greg is safely off the ladder/stairs in one piece too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Christmas quilt, but it sounds like it was risky business to get it hung. Don't want Greg getting hurt, or he can't keep making those great boxes! : )
