Only a few days left of 2011 - where did the days, weeks and months go?!
Before Christmas I had a look into my latest finished projects and hidden under everything else, I re-discovered this quilt! I finished it 2-3 months ago, washed and air dried it, was going to take photos.... and... totally forgotten about it!
My 'Sun and Earth' quilt! :)
My 'Sun and Earth' quilt! :)
It measures 64 x 87 inches / 162 x 220 cm, which if not mistaken is a twin size quilt?
I have used scraps from white/cream, yellow, green and brown.
I had enough scraps for the backing too; green, brown and yellow.
As I promised in my previous post, here are some more finishes and those will be the last finishes this year. I still have to hand stitch the binding on the Polar Bear quilt, but.... not very tempting in the heat... I shall see, perhaps a little bit can be done early mornings...
Anyway... I promised you no more snowmen, but I didn't promise you no more gingerbread people - did I?! :)
Here I've used Diane Knott's for Clothworks 'Peppermint Cottage' fabric line. Click here to see Diane Knott's website.

The table runner was done awhile ago, but had to wait for quilting thread.
...and this is what I got out of the leftovers...
a square table topper, where I have pieced together 3 inch squares.
Before Christmas I pulled out some Debbie Mumm fabrics from the cabinet and here's a small table runner I made for a book shelf.
EEK! I didn't remember there are snowmen on those fabrics too! :)
Speaking of Debbie Mumm fabrics....
As usual when I love the fabrics, I often get carried away and into a craze! Yes, I got the Debbie Mumm craze, which ended with 13 (!!!) UFO's! No, I won't call them UFO's - they are too new for that. I've put them away until I get the backing fabrics from the US. I have a lot of stash, but never, never, never enough for backing! SIGH! :)
Two candle mats, table mats, or an over sized mug rug...
... I finished before Christmas.
The fabrics are from 'Santa Goes to North Pole' by Debbie Mumm.
