Winter Scene Quilt


 I made this little wallhanging about 3 years ago.Using scraps from my scrap box, I started with a background, ironed fusible webbing to my fabric, and cut out shapes to fill the scene. I ironed them on where I wanted them, but then sewed around their edges. I might add more this year, if I have a free moment or two! I can think of several things I would like to add. It might be fun to let the children cut out some tiny shapes, too! This little quilt is 42" x 32 1/2".  

This is an extremely busy week with Thanksgiving on Thursday,  my mother's birthday on Friday, and my daddy having cataract surgery on Tuesday.  I have food to make for different occasions on Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm working frantically on finishing the Little Red Riding Hood quilt, but I'm not sure I will finish this week. I wish I could say that things will calm down after this week, but the busy holiday season is just getting underway! 
If I don't have another chance, let me tell my U. S. friends Happy Thanksgiving! Hopefully, this is not something we do only once a year!!!

    I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, and that you get everything done, and that your dad's surgery goes well. My mum's had it done twice and what a blessing. Happy Birthday to your mum [my hubby's birthday is Thursday, eek]!

  8. What a fabulous winter scene. The trees look so fiddly but all those little branches are so effective. Such a good idea to add to it. Happy birthday to your mum and best wishes for your dad's surgery. It should make a big difference for him. Happy Thanksgiving and make sure you find some time to sit down and have a cup of tea :)

  11. Oh Linda, this little quilt is completely amazing! I'm sorry I have been MIA here for a while, I hope you are not feeling any lingering ill effects from the shingles. You have been in my thoughts and prayers, just couldn't find you in my computer...*sigh*, a long, silly story, (a senior moment story) for another day. Tomorrow I will be very busy, like so many of us this week so I wanted to stop by and wish you a joyous and blessed Thanksgiving day. Gentle Hugs...
