Midweek Makers #415

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Hubby is off work for the week, which means anything related to quilting doesn't happen. Hoping to get into the swing of things in January, especially RSC2024.

Meanwhile, here's few shares from last week. Making a Lather finished her old world fantasy mystery quilt,

Melva Loves Scraps shared a very adorable mini of trees,

and A Scrappy Quilter shared on of her star and 16-patch baby quilt presents.

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

I'm still doing a lot of last minute shopping, being careful with how much I drive. Long distances put pressure on my back muscles, which the PT guy says should resolve over time. Certainly hope so! Otherwise, everything is going well.

With the holidays upon us, I'm highlighting a few Christmas projects seen here last week. From Not Afraid of Color, some red and green star blocks,

from Bell Creek Quilts, a fun angel project,

and from Time 4 Stitchin, a gnome-y Christmas tree.

Welcome to Midweek Makers!

Absolutely no quilting happening here - it's all about shopping, finding the perfect gifts for family. But on a fun note, Happy Birthday to a shining star, Taylor Swift! 

Speaking of stars, how about these two star themed quilt projects from last week?

Rebecca Grace Quilting added a pretty pantograph to Mary's Stars,

and Eagle's Wings Quilts mixed a panel with stars for this quilt.

Welcome to Midweek Makers! 

Guess what? I quilted my first client quilt since surgery! A big step, and an easy one too, given that it was a nice sized baby quilt. The pantograph Amphibian in Glide's Cleopatra gold thread was a great choice for this one.

I'm also happy to see some holiday projects shared last week - take a look at these:

Vicki's Quilts and Crafts whipped up this wall hanging from a panel,

Bell Creek Quilts finished a free guild project just right for the holidays,

and a Scrappy Quilter shared some adorable woolly friends.

Snowy Forest for December Quilt Block Mania

How better to wrap up the year with a Snowy Forest quilt block? 

Thanks to the Quilt Block Mania 'forest' theme this month, I went with snow to make it a perfect block for December. 

Take a look at all the other 'forest' themed blocks from my quilt designer friends.

These are free for December 2023. After that, the designers reserve the rights to continue to offer them for free or as a paid pattern. So get them while they last!

In order to easily deal with the angles in my Snowy Forest block, foundation piecing is required. It's pretty easy to make the trees and the snow, with 5-6 pieces each. And again, fat quarters and foundation paper are all that's needed to make one block. I just love how the snow banks turned out!

One foundation piecing pattern is included in the Snowy Forest pattern. You'll need to print three, but print as many as you like. Then just follow the numbering and coloring on the templates to make the trees - easy peasy! The finished block measures 12" x 12", a nice size to foundation piece.

The Snowy Forest block is currently unavailable. But feel free to tell others about QuiltFabrication and become a follower yourself through any or all of the following: direct delivery of posts to your inbox (sign up below), or by following on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.
