I've finished it!!!

Finally.....

After 13 weeks... of 12-18 hour days... the custom order quilt, "Christmas in July" is ready to ship!!

 


All of the blocks are needle turn applique which was very labor intensive. A joy to do...but my heart got heavy when we got further and further from the Christmas season.
The hand quilting was done in shadow and on some of the larger block..I added background texture with swirls, stars and waves.

Thank you Jolene, for the opportunity to make a Christmas Heirloom for your family.
