~ Christmas Joy Quilt ~ from Podunk Pretties

Hello Happy Quilters! I'm so excited to finally get my Christmas Joy Quilt off the frame. This is a fairly small quilt and pretty lightly quilted it should have taken no longer than 2 days to quilt. However my ruler foot broke and then there was an issue with a back spinning bobbin. The powers that be love to throw me a few curve balls with ever quilt.

The quilt will be used by my grandchildren when they come to visit during the holiday season. I wanted it to be soft and cuddly for them and have pretty quilting ...

Before showing you my changes I want to give credit the designer of this super cute quilt. Carol Swift from Just Let Me Quilt designed this Christmas Joy quilt for ThermoWeb. It's a FREE pattern that you can find by clicking here.

Instead of trying to recreate Carol's ...

~ Christmas Joy by Just Let Me Quilt ~ from Podunk Pretties

HELLO Happy Quilters! Friday at last! How many of you are like me and planning a private quilting retreat in your sewing room? I bet I'm not the only one with few Christmas sewing projects on the to-do list. For me these are the best retreats. I prepared for this 3 day quilting retreat by cooking ahead for Mr. Podunk. If he doesn't want to eat Taco Soup leftovers all weekend there's frozen pizza and cold cuts in the fridge. The only thing that could interrupt my pajama quilting retreat is unexpected company. But to be honest ...
