    Default Christmas Wallhangings

    I am not a Christmas person but as I am co-ordinator of hanging quilts at our local art and craft gallery, I thought I had better make a couple of smaller quilts to hang during December.

    The Advent Calendar was so easy to make from a panel, just folds and stitch down to make the pockets. In each of the pockets I am placing tiny candy canes which will have a 'random act of kindness' written on the back. I will be encouraging people to take a candy cane they would like to do and replace it with one of their own kindness thoughts throughout December.

    I have always wanted to make this particular Christmas tree, so dug through my Christmas fabric stash (very limited) and I think it turned out pretty good.

    The felt Christmas tree was fun to make. I bought couple of panels to cut up for the Christmas decorations, backed them with felt so they would stick to the tree. A great little tree for the kids to 'decorate' instead of taking the decorations on and off the 'real' Christmas tree.

    I love the quilt calender. It's sweet and beautiful. Kids always have fun decorating trees, real or fake.

    Congratulation on getting them done is such a short time.

    I agree with everyone else. What a wonderful collection of Christmas quilts. You did such a nice job on each one. I love the candy cane one because of the random acts of kindness that is attached to it. The first tree is a pattern I have never seen before, very different and pretty. The last one is perfect for the kids to have something busy to do. How fun each one!
