Whew!!

Very, very difficult to get the pictures I really wanted for this one.  Big -  humongous Happy Dance time!

The Reindeer Quilt Is Done!!  WooHoo!! A few shots...and yes, some of them are a little bit weird angles.....there are still a few crystals I want to attach, but they probably would not show in any of the photos any way.

Mind you, this quilt takes up the entire top of my kitchen table!



Above you can see the connecting ribbons and crystals I attached to each reindeer.

You can see one of the reindeer names that I quilted into the border on this one.   And ...my little verse for Rudolph.

I must say - cross stitching and quilting were not the easiest thing to combine...but overall, I am pretty happy with the end result.

Fused

OK ~ I thought it might be fun (for me at least) to try and come up with one word titles for my posts....Let's see how long I can last.;^}

The reindeer border for my Vintage Christmas quilt is "fused." Now all I have to do is attach everything permanently! The border is quite long, so here are a few little pictures of the different sections...each a bit bunched up, so as not to show all the fabric between each reindeer.

You can also see where I will have to embroider the antlers and the ribbons. Once all the embroidering and attaching are done, this is the last part to be attached to the quilt!

The star blocks are the top corners.

Some assembly required

No, no...it's not some toy for Christmas....:)
My Vintage Christmas blocks....they are fused together but not stitched just yet. Well, the sheep has her machine blanket stitching already. Now to finish the rest. After these two - only one more block to go...but it is huge.
