Another Christmas quilt completed. It took me almost two years to get to this point. The applique blocks are fused pieces with machine stitching around them. A Jeanna Kimball pattern set was used for the quilt and the pattern set is out of print. I found a copy of the set on Amazon but the price is high. You can see it here but I doubt anyone wants to pay $165.00 for it. The pattern set does not include instructions on the order of sewing the blocks into sections and getting everything together. A bit of a challenge to figure it out. The completed quilt is on its way to my great grand-daughter. It is about 68 inches long so plenty big enough to cover up with. I think she will enjoy it.
Take time to sew today!

What a special gift for your granddaughter. I hope she treasures it forever!
Congratulations on finishing the quilt. It is on my list to finish up the blocks next year. I can remember a few years ago when the pattern was selling at high prices. But, if you look you can find them at reasonable prices. I just picked up one at Half Price Books for $8. It was only missing one "month" of patterns.
That quilt is glorious!!!! She will treasure it for sure!
What a wonderful Sampler Quilt! I love Samplers! Thanks for stopping by and posting to my blog about the "Indian" image quilts I discovered. Two more similar quilts have been found today so I have added more photos to the same blog! Just google Quilt History Reports to see them. Cheers! Karen A.
Wow, it's gorgeous! I 'm sure she'll love it.
Happy quilting, Cisca

W.O.W., Karen! Lucky great-granddaughter!!! This is a beautiful quilt. How did you quilt it? (It's hard to tell in the photo.) I love it!!!
So beautiful! I love xmas samplers. I would love to see how you quilted it. I have been quilting my Xmas sampler for the last month. It was hard to decide on a quilting design :)
Wow Karen-just stunning once again!
You are amazing and to give it away?-not sure I could be so generous!lol!
Shazy
What a treasure! Lucky granddaughter - she is receiving a very special heirloom *s*
what a winning quilt. Who wouldn't want to snuggle up with this!

Wow that's a stunning quilt, just gorgeous, it would take me a lot longer than 2 years. Your GD will enjoy having it.
How could someone even think of selling a pattern for that much.
Oh Karen that is so Beautiful! Looks like a lot of work but what a beautiful quilt, great job done! Hugs, Mary
