Show and Tell… Welcome to the North Pole

Julie Kiffin, who some of you will remember from the Liberty Quilt Shop, sent this photo of her North Pole quilt…

She wrote:

I made it to go with my North Pole building collection. It was an off and on project for many years and then I enjoyed embellishing it and hand quilting with perle cotton.

Thank you, Julie, for sharing your quilt! It is both happy and festive and I hope you hang it up every year :-).

Steve’s Birds Show & Tell…

Marie Szlachtianshyn sent this photo of her Steve’s Birds quilt top. She says she wants to add a little more applique and then quilt it but I thought you would like to see it now :-).

I like the light sashing and the pieced outer borders… very nice! Thank you, Marie, for sharing your progress! I look forward to seeing this quilt when it’s all done :-).

Bullseye Show and Tell…

Cindy Nichols Turner sent me a photo of her newly finished Baby Bullseye quilt. It was her first foundation paper piecing project and she said that she really enjoyed it. I love the color choices and Cindy, your piecing is fantastic. Well done!

A professional quilter with a long arm did a very nice job on the quilting. The lines in the white background enhance the design of the center.

Cindy, thank you for sharing your quilt with us!

If you are interested in making your own Bullseye quilt, you can find the pattern here.
