ELF on the SHELF


These Elves and I are wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!



This Elf on the Shelf quilt makes me so happy...


There are two Elf blocks included and repeated through the quilt.

Strip piecing made these guys quick and easy!!!


I love their pointy ears!






For the backing, I pieced together some remnants from past projects....

Including my last lengths of those cute sweater wearing foxes in this Sweater Weather print, from the Festive Forest collection by Michael Miller....

Which was originally used to back my Ugly Christmas Sweaters quilt from January 2016










"Elf on a Shelf" finished at 66" x 74"







Just wanted to take a minute to Thank YOU ALL for following along at Sew Fresh Quilts.

This Christmas marks the end of my eighth year blogging and quilting.

As I reflect back on all the changes that have happened, I am always mindful of the things that I am so thankful for. Yes, it was 8 years ago today that I started this blog as a way to document my progress and to make connections with fellow quilters like you.

I had finished my first quilt, made for my daughter Erin. And was on dial up internet at the time....

Thank you for all your kind comments left on my blog posts, in emails and on facebook and instagram. And for all the encouragement you give me. 
I couldn't have made it this far without your friendship and all of your support!


Now we are coming to the end of YET ANOTHER WONDERFUL YEAR...

Together with you, I look forward to 2021 and all the quilts we're gonna make in this NEW YEAR!




MERRY CHRISTMAS 2020 EVERYONE!

Dapper Dachshunds Free Pattern

Last week I seen this on Facebook and had to share here.


Heather stitched up this Dapper Dachshund.
Fabric is Sunkiss by Tilda available in store or online here> https://bit.ly/30ordRf

Dapper Dachshunds Free Pattern> http://www.tildasworld.com/.../2019/01/Dapper-Dachshunds.pdf



This week I am sharing my Dapper Dachshunds makes!




The pattern calls for using a marker to make the eyes and embroidery for the nose, but I used buttons instead.


My kids are 20 and 21, but both of them loved these doggies and each wanted one. I can understand that.




You can see why I was a little distracted by the doggie making.

Made two more...


I followed the pattern for the first dog. Then added a larger tail for the next three and stitched it into the seam.





Might be one for ME!





Meanwhile....

Back in the North Pole...











Hoping for pictures of my finished Elf on the Shelf quilt today!!!

Christmas Lights

 


Welcome WINTER!

This is my front door on December 1, 2020.




The snow has taken the Merry out of my Christmas....




This was how it looked the day before.




This was the view from my sewing room window.



Basted and quilted the previous day, Christmas Lights were ready for binding.




And a fresh outdoor photoshoot!



Thanks to my son, Russell, who couldn't make it to work.

He has always been a willing helper and allowed me to get in a few full shots.















And a few close ups.





"Christmas Lights" finished at 64" x 74"










These indoor pics show off the organic wavy quilting.




Speaking of indoors.



Wouldn't be Christmas without Christ. 







And here is our Christmas tree.




I have decorated simply, but include this photo of my little sister, Georgina, which has been hung on my Christmas tree each year since about 1982.


Wow. We're old.


And being she is my "little sister", that means I am the "old"est. Hahaha!
