Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Finish

 My Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas Quilt is done!
I just got it out of the dryer and added the embroidery details on the gingerbread man and the buttons.
Plus, I added buttons on my snowman label. 
My cross hatch machine quilting and Warm and White batting really crinkled up nicely. Its' finished size is 29.5 x 40.5 inches. I can't wait to use it as a model for the Quilty Fun Block of the Month class I am teaching next year. I have a feeling lots of students will want to make some extra blocks and have two tops made by the end of 2016.
Fergie was busy eating her rawhide treat while I was taking pictures. The other dogs like to go outside with their treats, but she prefers nibbling on her bed.
Speaking of treats, I whipped up this adorable picnic basket and wine glass mini quilt-- it is the last block from the Snapshots series hosted by the Fat Quarter Shop. I am going to attach the red binding and hand stitch it down this afternoon for Slow Sunday Stitching. You can check out everyone else's slow projects here http://kathysquilts.blogspot.com
Have a great week!

    Your Christmas quilt is just too cute and so is Fergie.

    Isn't wonderful that FQS has raised so much money from their Snapshot series patterns?

    What a fun quilt - and I think I'm in love with your gingerbread man (he looks pretty yummy to me!). It's great to see such a lovely label too. If we put so much time into the quilt, why not into the label too :) Hope you enjoy stitching down your binding today.

    Fergie is just so cute! Love your quilt, and I'd love to see some more closeup shots of the elements, are those pink jars or coffee cups? I can't tell. Great finish!

    Girl! I need to learn to be as productive as you. (SMILES!) By the weekend, I find myself busy with chores and by the time it comes to sew, I'm not very motivated. LOVE your Christmas finish.

    I love your Christmas quilt! Maybe I should try that hatching idea on my UFO this month... is it hard to do? I've never tried it on a larger quilt.

    The label is awesome! I'm a fan of everything you do, but love to see your free-wheeling things the best. Sounds like you're doing groundwork for the class, and I wish you the best with it.

    Tanya, this quilt is so great! I love all the blocks and love the little snowman on the back.
    The picnic basket and wineglass quilt is really neat - a good way to use that block.
    Our dogs always go to something soft to chew on their treats. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

    Your Christmas quilt is so freaking cute! Adding those buttons just made the little gingerbread man 'pop'. So fun! Have I told you how much I like seeing what books you are reading, and that you post them on your blog? Thanks for linking up to MCM!
