In a guild Christmas party this week, someone was asked "how many Christmas quilts do you have displayed in your house right now?" .......
the woman's answer was "well, I just downsized so, only 10". I looked around and didn't see any surprised faces...
(Whaaaaaat??? I guess I haven't been quilting very long)
Dad and I frequent the Corner Bakery Cafe for supper. While waiting for our soup one evening, I was intrigued by our order no. card sitting on the table, specifically the top ......
so I created a place for it in the quilt on my design board :)
and in the binding.
The center is a Schnibbles pattern by Carrie Nelson.
I always hang my Christmas laundry out in the snow ... don't you?

Love how something caught your eye and inspired you to incorporate it into your quilt! I imagine that is how all the professional quilt designers are able to crank out several patterns by finding inspiration from daily surroundings.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun little quilt! Isn't it amazing how inspiration can come from anywhere?!
