| Winter Trees |
My Winter Trees is finished, hot off the sewing machine, and it will be delivered tonight. I am a little anxious about giving this one away because I am not sure if the recipients will like it or not. Of course they will be gracious and say they do but......there is always that little doubt.
Sorry about the picture quality, it is over cast today and I can't get a good picture.
This shows some of the close quilting that I find I enjoy doing, sometimes....
I changed the direction of the quilting in each section. Some of the quilting even looks a little like the grain of a tree, a happy accident.
None of the lines are straight which makes it a whole lot easier and a lot more fun to do.
I think I may make another one in different fabrics or maybe not, my list of "to do" is a long one.

The one in the middle? I absolutely love your trees!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the trees! How big is the quilt? And I love the quilting on it, too! Awesome! They will surely love it!
ReplyDeleteI am crazy about your trees!! I love the quilting that you did. Is this a large quilt? Thanks for posting it. I am "into" trees right now and this is a great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI do hope the recipient.appreciates the quilt, it is so cool.
ReplyDeleteLove the trees! I know what you mean about your list of things to do.
ReplyDeleteWe had a good Christmas.
Happy new year to you and yours!
Oh! Your tree quilt is wonderful, Kelly! I really like the bareness of it, that leaves the quilting to be admired. You did a great job of piecing and quilting. I can almost appreciate how stressful it was to have so many house guests! We were only ten people, but could manage to get on one anothers' nerves. Having little children underfoot and being rowdy, doesn't help. I hope you get lots of help in 2014, or maybe even a change in venue (?) Happy new year to you, my friend. May 2014 be filled with happy sewing, quilting, and excellent health!
ReplyDeleteLove the free form and creative quilting on your trees. I'm sure the recipient will be in awe with your original piece of art. 36 people!?! You're a saint.
ReplyDeleteI had my husband's family here Christmas 2012 -- all 50+ of them! Never again, it's too stressful and my mother-in-law agrees!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Love the stitching on your very striking tree quilt! Sounds like your Christmas was all about family which is perfect.:)
ReplyDeleteThe tree quilt turned out and great. I loved the solids and the quilting is really wonderful~
ReplyDeleteHappy Early New Year! Looking forward to year of inspiring posts :)
I love your tree quilt!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR!
If your friend doesn’t like the tree quilt I would be happy to send you my address. Hard to tell about those brothers they all look so young.
ReplyDeleteKelly, The trees look so pretty. I am sure it will be well received! I love how you quilted it too. I am looking forward to another extraordinary creative year. You are an inspiring quilter. Have a Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year Kelly! I think your winter tree quilt looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLove you winter trees Kelly, what a beauty of a quilt. As said before, inspiring. So glad you had a lovely family Christmas. All the best for 2014 xo
ReplyDeleteThe Winter Trees quilt is lovely . The quilting lines have added a lot of character to the quilt.
ReplyDeletePleased you survived family and Christmas.
Happy New Year.
The tree quilt came out so great. I love the simplicity of the design and the dense quilting. Who wouldn't love that quilt?
ReplyDeleteGlad you have recovered from the holiday party. Happy New Year.
I LOVE this tree quilt! It is wonderful in every way... Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYour trees quilt is wonderful--fresh and modern!! How could they not love it? Wow--36 for dinner! I'd say you're earning some saintly points!
ReplyDeleteYour winter trees are inspirational....look so much like the ones out my windows! I'm not going to even try to guess who is the oldest but sure am curious now!! I was tired after having less than half of the holiday guests that you did...sure understand the stress!
ReplyDeleteWhew, you had a busy Christmas, I feel tired thinking about it and there were only three of us at my place. The trees quilt looks amazing, it's wonderful with your quilting. Happy new year.
ReplyDeleteI'm so behind in my blog reading... it's wonderful to see you had a good Christmas. I think Christmas is tiring too and I don't have 36 people to make lunch for, yikes!! I'd be exhausted! Your trees are wonderful. I truely think that the recipient would have loved them.
