What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Christmas is not far away! I can tell because lots of houses have lots of lights hanging around. As much as I love the sound of bells I am glad they don’t all have a bell chorus ringing out!

These wall-hangings could be puzzles for little people … count the bell in the first row, or on each string then count the bows.

I wonder if I can find bulk small bells so I can hang strings of bells in every room of the house.

They would jingle whenever the windows are open to let in cool air, which would be lovely at this time of the year when the weather is heating up, and the air conditioner would make them jingle when it is too hot to have windows open..

I would also like pelmets over the windows to display shelf sitting decorations.

Love the first design!

Cut out as many bells as you like, place them anywhere you like, to make any size quilt you would like.

Or keep the project small enough to fit in a small blank space on a wall.

Love the collection of bells!

Love the second one too … I would love to find a very big bag of real bells in assorted sizes and hang them in a window or on a screen door.

Christmas bells ringing in the New Year … Sounds good to me!

I love the hanging bells in the first and third designs, but also love the runner … room for a centerpiece in the middle.

Wishing and hoping for a great year in 2021 for all of you.

The first design for today is probably a shape suited to hanging on a door.

Love the second design.

I have been hanging decorations from any assorted nailor hook around the house … including a few bells … so hanging some here feels appropriate.

Love both of these!

I love it, though I am not too sure if it would make a single bed quilt or a table cloth.

I have to admit that I gave up making real tablecloths a long time ago after I made one, and the first time it was put on a table cream, beetroot juice and a drink were all spilt on it. The stains, though faint, remind me not to make another table cloth.

I am not even brave enough to make a table runner, though perhaps it could be a bed runner!

When we were growing up whoever was up first on Christmas Day, and old enough to use the gramophone, would play a record of Christmas carols starting with the sound of bells. I now have that record, and a record player, for use on Christmas morning.

Even if that plan failed I have backup copies on CD and USB, so no one will sleep in at this place. I will even make sure the battery operated USB player is fully charged in case of a backout!

The design above could be on a table, or a bed, or draped over ...
