Remember December

I enjoy visiting The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims. A challenge was issued to make a piece to Remember December. The item had to contain 80% fabric and could not be any larger than 24" on a side.

My neo-natal quiltie made it just under the size specifications! I made a smaller version of the free download pattern Midnight Mischief designed by Rochelle Martin for Clothworks. My little quiltie has Santa and the reindeer joyfully romping in the forest after completing yet another hard-night's Christmas Eve run.

I wish we could have submitted virtual quilts. Electric Quilt's January 2008 EQ Challenge was to Make It Seasonal. The December rainy season in Reno creates some beautiful cloud sets with magnificent sunrises and sunsets. My virtual quilt reminded me of sunrises and snowflakes on my early morning commutes to work. It was an opportunity to put a feathered star into a virtual quilt.

The Quilt Show's Stars for a New Day 2009 BOM has a feathered star center . The directions by Sue Garman are wonderful! I might be able to use her directions not only for the BOM but also for my Make It Seasonal wall hanging.
