Christmas Quilt Show 2010

Seeing quilts is so inspiring for me.  I always get ideas of things I want to try making.  It may be the pattern or  sometimes it's the colors.  And sometimes I enjoy seeing things I could never do.  Maybe I shouldn't say NEVER do, because I believe that anyone can do anything if they put their mind to it.  It's just that my mind may not want to do it!!  LOL

 And so when SewGalCal decided to do her "Quilt Show", I decided to join.  Here is my entry.  Some may think it's not a Christmas quilt.  But it makes me think of the beautiful cardinals in a Christmas Snow. 

It was a little challenging because of all the different angles of the windows, but I did it.  Making one of these was definitely enough.  Hope it makes you think of a wonderful snowy Christmas Day!

  10. My mother law leaves a pan of seeds on the old wood shed that stands just outside her bedroom window and in the winter you can see all the cardinals come to eat. Your quilt reminds me of that. Thanks for sharing.

  18. What a wonderful quilt! I have seen quite a few "cardinal" themed quilts in this Christmas Quilt show, so I think it definitely qualifies as a Christmas quilt! Also, thank you so much for stopping by to see my Christmas quilt!

  19. I love your quilt!! I have never tried a window pane quilt; the technique intimidates me a bit!

  20. Totally cool quilt! I live in a townhouse so I need one of these to hang over my kitchen window, so I can imagine I live in the country. (Instead of looking into another person's kitchen window). It really is wonderful!

  21. Very nice.....I'm with you I get a thrill seeing the cardinals on a cold snowy day.....too bad they don't travel in groups like this we'd get a real show!
    It's a lovely wall hanging and feels very Christmasy to me!

    Happy sewing

  23. That is one of the best window quilts I have seen. Its fabulous and I love all the cardinals too. I wonder if they do flock together like that, being in Australia I have not seen them as we dont have them here. Beautiful!

  25. Hi, Linda -- well, I didn't know you had a blog! I'm very impressed at what you've done here. It's a little work keeping one up but looks like you're doing well with 10,000 hits! congrats!

    **LOVE, LOVE that cardinal quilt. Mom would probably do a backflip over that one! (Cardinals are her favorite bird).
