Finally assembling my yo-yo Christmas tree. I want to use this small project to learn how to applique with my machine, tried out my new walking foot for the crosshatching, fun. I know I’m really going to like the walking foot putting on bindings. Now I’m off to try some wonky threads to applique presents under the tree, wish me luck.
A weeks holidays and you sure can get a lot of sewing done (mind you I still have housework to do) It turned out beautiful, my in laws showed up for a visit just as I took pictures, they enjoyed following all the twisting paths on this optical illusion quilt. I am so pleased at how my piecing has improved, pratice, pratice helps. I can see this quilt with small stipling in the orange background and point to point straight stitch in the blue squares. I think it is time I pratice machine quilting and then do this one next year. Peg I really like your idea of small stipling, this is sure going to be a chalenge. Only one problem is it seems short. Peg what is the standard length of a double bed quilt? As usual I can’t find my info when I want to 
I just don’t want to think about ALL the ironing that has to be done!!!
This is only about a quarter of the quilt blocks needed!
My design wall is not large enough but atleast I’m starting to get a idea of what it will look like.. to be continued.
Visited with my sister at charlevoix.
On the way home we saw a beautiful view…
