Color Bridge Quilt Pattern

Color Bridge Quilt Pattern

I found my pattern Color Bridge in the following blog at Sister’s Choice Quilts, she is calling it Christmas Cactus. Very nice.

You can read about it and see her quilt in her Dec 3rd and Dec 7th entry.
I would have to say that Nicole is a prolific quilter. She has a lot of amazing quilts. And a lot of Christmas quilts. And her house looks so nice.

After looking through her posts and reading the stories about her Christmas quilts, I thought I would count up my Christmas quilts.

It didn’t take me long to count them.
I was disappointed to realize that I have zero Christmas decorations up. And therefore, zero Christmas quilts up. And I own very few Christmas quilts. Then I remembered that I have this tree quilt and I hung it up.

This was made this about 8 years ago with the Square in A Square ruler. The strange angle of the quilt is because it is hanging in a hallway and I couldn’t get a good shot at it. I do not have much wall space in my house. Most of my walls are windows.

Then I found this table runner, Christmas Poinsettia, that I bought at an auction in Arizona in 2002. Made by Julinne Dodds for the MTQ Small quilt auction in Prescott. I love this quilt. Julinne, if you are ever wondering who bought your quilt, it was me.

And then the last one is a table runner made from my In A Spin pattern. This was probably made in about 2002 also.

That is it. Boy that is a poor showing for the season. I will have to get busy for next year so that I have at least one larger quilt for the season.

But right now, my excuse for not having done any preparations for Christmas is that my house is torn apart. Literally.
One corner of the room looks like this…

The wood stove is actually downstairs and this is the pipe coming up through the floor, awaiting the return of the installer to finish his part in installing our wood stove and then we have to add the drywall to box it in, and paint it and then clean it all up and put the furniture back into place. And all before our company arrives in 7 days and 6 hours. But who is counting….
