A Quilt Along

12 Days of Christmas 2022; Dresden Love Winners

It’s time for our drawing!

Thanks to all of you who posted your first 6 blocks.

I love seeing everyone’s fabric choices.

I went old school & wrote everyone’s name on a slip of paper that showed us their first 6 completed blocks of our 12 Days Of Christmas 2022 then did a little drawing.

Cynthia Holman & Sherry Jagels will get a free pattern & a piece of fabric to start my Dresden LOVE pattern in time to sew & hang for Valentine’s Day.

Sherry, please email your snail mail address to me (SuznQuilts@aol.com) & Cynthia, I have yours!

If you’d like to purchase my Dresden LOVE pattterns, it’s available on my website in both printed & PDF versions by clicking here.

Thanks again for sewing along with me!

Just keep sewing…

My Life

12 Days of Christmas 2022; Day 1

It’s that time of year again when Christmas is newly past & a new season begins; the 12 Days of Christmas.

As the 3 Wise Men begin their journey, it’s a good time for us to find our sewing machines after all the busy, busy Christmas shopping, gift wrapping, food making & visiting. I’m exhausted but excited to make a small mystery quilt for you!

Want to join me?

You can even use your featherweight machine!

Day 1 we’ll make 1 little house block. Just 6 pieces of fabric!

Trust me when I say the fabric decision making takes longer than the 2 minutes needed to sew this block!

Is it just me?

I find that’s the hardest part!

Download the instructions here.

A Quilt Along

A Few Of My Favorite Things Quilt

I hope you sewed along with us on my 3rd annual

12 Days Of Christmas Quilt-Along

& now have a cute little Christmas quilt to treasure.

Making my new quilt, fondly named A Few Of My Favorite Things,

gave me the opportunity to use my favorite plastic templates

& my favorite tools too!

It’s a testament to what just a few minutes each day can make, not to mention the fun had while spending time in my sewing room using some favorite Christmas-like fabrics.

And now I have a cute little Christmas quilt for Emma & me to treasure each year! Next year it will definitely have a dolly.

She humors me with her adorable smiles.

We’ve already had a few wonderful quilters show their finished quilts or tops, so when you get your quilt made (I know there are lots of you following along) please share them with us on my Facebook group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SewingWithSusan

Can’t wait to see your quilts!

Just Keep Sewing…

Susan
