A few more completed

Realized that this has actually been a pretty good year for finishing quilts.

This bluestar one was done just to prove to myself I could actually do something in blue. I like it more than I thought I would, also fills the "seasonal" need to have something reflecting Winter.

At one point I realized that wanting a Christmas seasonal quilt meant that I had to get working on one before Christmas so, after a Pinawa retreat where Judy Blatz helped us discover the "split nine-patch" this festive number was done with those Christmas fat 1/4's I'd purchased early in my quilting career before I realized that a fat 1/4 is really useless unless you buy about 20 of them...so some of my ugly Christmas themes got used in this one and it still looks nice :)

A fun experience was a workshop with Heather Lair from Gimli. One of her trademark pieces is the crafting of Quilting postcards. Doug actually bought me my first one when he was on Staff retreat one fall. I loved it and when the opportunity came to do a workshop with her I was tickled. This is the post card that came out of it...I think there are a few more in me! This one went to one of the "used to be church ladies".. Karen when she moved into her new house and hosted us for a fabulous dinner...Love those ladies!
