Quilts From My Past

Christmas Hearts is the 2nd or 3rd quilt I made.  This was a shop sample for Northwest Fabrics & Crafts which means I made it sometime in between August and December of 1990.

Yes, those hearts are appliquéd and I didn’t like appliqué any better then than I do now.

The wall hanging is 27″ square plus the “hanging” bow.  There is a narrow sleeve to accommodate a cafe rod for hanging.  The quilting consists of stitch in the ditch around the hearts, large blocks and corner squares and channel stitching using red thread through the background and border.
