Oh! Christmas Tree from Wendy's Quilts and More

Yes, it's true - I've escaped New Zealand and like many other Kiwis and Aussies I'm travelling in Europe right now. In fact by the time you read this I think I'll be in Amsterdam. You can follow my travels on Instagram - @wendysquiltsandmore or Facebook - Wendy Welsh - if you're interested.

But I know a lot of you look forward to reading a blog post from me each week, and linking up to or following the Peacock Party links, so I've prepared five weeks of blog posts to keep you covered while I'm away. Each ...

2022 Christmas Countdown - Oh! Christmas Tree from Wendy's Quilts and More

We still like the snowy images on Christmas cards, but we know Christmas is the start of our summer holidays and it's going to be hot.

Oh! Christmas Tree from Wendy's Quilts and More

I haven't made any Christmas quilts this year, but I'd like to show you my Oh! Christmas Tree quilt that I made back in 2016. This quilt is a great example of how you can take your quilting lead from the design in the fabric. See all those snowflakes in the backgroud? I hand quilted over them with Aurifil 12wt and now they stand out beautifully.

This is a wool felt applique pattern designed by Wendy Williams of Flying Fish Kits.

I loved making this quilt because I got to play with all the brightly coloured felt.

My ...
