I always wanted a Christmas quilt for the bed. I call this one my 11 day wonder because 11 days prior to the Christmas of 1993, I started machine piecing it using Eleanor Burns' method of making of a Radiant Star. The binding was put on Christmas Eve. It has machine quilted feathers in the border and is heavily stippled.
My first purchase was a woman and a child. Martin then made a quilt frame for her. Naturally she is working on a quilt. She is seated on a chair which was made from an old frying pan handle. The next thing Martin made was the house from a wine bottle box and the flooring from left over tile project. I made little quilts for the wall, and purchased a miniature dress form and sewing machine. If you will notice, there is a baby in a cradle with a quilt. The baby is all of 1¼" long and I made a sleeping gown for it with draw string bottom. The cradle was made of ice cream pop sticks and the quilt is actually quilted. The dimensions are 1¼"x1¼". The photo was taken at Christmas time when a miniature tree was decorated with beads as ornaments.
An original appliqued design. Machine appliqued and hand quilted. This pattern was also made into a tablecloth where the angels were green calico with gold lame wings and bugles. Napkins were made of matching green calico.
Cut the outside and inside of the pattern. Place on fabric and transfer markings to fabric. Applique enlarged angels (Enlarge to fit on page 8.5x11) to every other line centering each one.
Quilt in between.
