I got the scraps and started the quilt but it then stalled. It was last blogged about in 2014 when the tree was shown plonked on the sky fabric
At some stage since then the tree and the sky were joined but nothing further.
Today it has moved forward to this
The details don't photograph too well, but the star above the tree and the candle flames have been embroidered with a glow . . . in glow in the dark thread!
The top of the snow glistens with a glitter fabric attached on a gentle curve
and snow drifts have been topped with more sparkle
It's still a bit tall and thin but it's doing much better than it has for the last 4 years!
It will be on the wall for next Christmas
ReplyDeleteAll trees grow slowly. :-)
ReplyDeleteNice progress! Great idea how you have embellished the flames ..... they look like they are really sparkling!
ReplyDeleteLike the idea of the scraps in exchange for badges, really useful!

never too early to get those Christmas projects underway.. or finished even!! We had more snow on Thursday .. but it soon disappeared again.. Thank Goodness x
ReplyDeleteThat's just classified as a long-term project Benta! It looks great.
ReplyDeleteLOL I love Amanda's comment - so true! That's a very pretty quilt, Benta - you'll be able to get it done in plenty of time for Christmas '18 :) And most projects are improved with a bit of sparkle here and there! BTW - we had snow yesterday - winter isn't done with us quite yet! >:(
