I am excited to be participating in my second online quilt show! You can see the other entries here. My entry is for a candle mat I made for a swap.
I really enjoyed this first swap of my reborn quilting life! I participated in many in the my past quilting life-I have a trunk full of blocks waiting to be made into tops(future New Year’s Resolution 2011).
I actually ordered the charm pack of Moda’s 12 Days of Christmas especially for this. Modern fabrics! Even though I have a box full of lovely Christmas prints I really loved these fabrics! I machine quilted it on my old Kenmore. I'm still trying to figure that out. i do love the look of outline quilting and straight lines. I also took the extra charms and made a mug rug and one of my special coasters. I even have enough left for another candle mat! Wow! All that from one charm pack! I thought I took a picture of them all but…Fa La La La La! Merry Christmas!
Keep dreaming…Colleen

Beautiful Candle Mat. The fabrics are lovely.
Very festive! Candle mats are very popular right now.
Beautiful. This fabric line is so fresh and pretty.
I love the 12 Days fabric. Your candle mat looks great!
Sweet! now that you are using modern fabrics you got to get a new machine that is easier and more fun to use! I was released from my Kenmore and have never looked back.....what a clunker!
Happy Sewing
I love this quilt. :) I made some pinwheels recently out of Moda's Twelve Days but haven't done anything with them yet - aren't the colors just wonderful? blessings, marlene
