Happy Monday! I hope all is well with you. We enjoyed catching up with friends over the weekend. My Christmas Cheer quilt is featured in the December 2009 issue of “Quilter’s World“:
I am super pleased with the photography of the quilt! It is a “One Block Wonder” quilt made using one gigantic Storm at Sea block! The finished size is 60″ square:
The quilt used fabrics from “Once Upon a Christmas” by Benartex. I love love love the Christmas tree print fabric, and I love love love love the poinsettia print as well!
Dear friends at Rogers Sewing Center gave me the dipping bowls – my early Christmas present! How sweet is that?! They go PERFECTLY with my quilt! I am truly blessed with sweet sewing friends!
The quilting was done with Aurifil Mako 50 Cotton thread, top and bottom on my home machine. The red solid fabric was the perfect background to show off some free-motion quilting:
Thanks for stopping by. I wish you a lovely Thanksgiving Week!

As usual I love your quilting. The last pic of the Christmas tree was my favorite. Nice job Wendy!
Such beautiful fabric. I love the Christmas tree and the poinsettias. The quilting is outstanding!
Gorgeous — both the fabric and the stitching. I love the Christmas tree design in the last photo!
The magazine spread looks great!
The fabric is super and I love the quilt, it looks like an easy one to make. Nice job Wendy. I will have to look for the magazine.
You make simple quilt looks beautiful with the quilting stitches. Love it – Hugs Natima

Oohhh! I love, love, love that quilt! I’m not usually excited about things made with Christmas fabric, but your Christmas Cheer is so pretty! Very ‘Cheery’! ;~D

Congratulations! Your quilts is lovely and I just love the quilting on it especially the tree and stars.
Beautiful quilt, Wendy, and beautifully quilted! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
:) now I’m in a Christmas mood!!
Wow, what beautiful quilting! Do you mark with a stencil before you quilt or just freemotion without marking?
Congratulations Wendy for having your quilt in the magazine. I just got that issue, and I love it. Beautiful quilt and lovely fabric.
