DK Quilt Guild is a place for quilters to gather, share ideas, projects, and to make the world a
better place, one quilt at a time. Join us and share your thoughts, projects, questions, and tips. Quilters here are at many different levels of skill. Beginners and non-quilters are welcome, too.
Would you like to write a future DK Quilt Guild diary? We NEED writers! Your diary can be elaborate and full of photos, a simple story of your own quilting history or that of someone you love, a discussion of a current project or a technique you're learning, new adventures... You could post quilt retreat-day recipes (things like crockpot meals, so food appears without much attention from you)... We could do show and tell or open thread, also, but either way, we need diarists to host. It is EASY if you're willing to take the chance. Please join in! Please volunteer within the comments or you can send Pam from Calif a kosmail.
This will be a short diary. I forgot I had it until a bit late. This is a brief show and tell of Christmas gifts. I made two simple table runners, the one above for my brother and the one below for my sister.
Yes, both table runners have the same main fabric; they just have different borders. The only other quilting project was a wall hanging for a nephew who came down with Covid. It isn’t quite finished, but don’t need to for at least two more weeks.
I need to add a gold star on the upper right, some more quilting and then bind it. I like the way I did the quilting on the bottom to give the impression of snow. Learning more about quilting as I go.
I also did two needlework projects — one a counted cross stitch The other a floral embroidery. For the cross stitch, the hardest part was finding the right frame.
Christmas is now done and I will focus more on my other projects. How about you? What did you make for Christmas? What quilting are you working on?
