2011 Christmas Quilt Show

I saw this last year but I was to late to enter.  This year I am on time!  You can find out more information at SewCalGal's Blog,  You have time to enter also if you hurry and enter before the 2nd.  Oh that's tomorrow.  I am going to check out some pretty Christmas quilts after I finish this post, just follow the link above and find the links to other blogs.  The last count was 90, I am hoping to be number 91. 

My first quilt in my show is my Christmas Crossword Quilt.  I made this in 1997, I had only been quilting for 2 1/2 years at that time.  It hangs in the place of honor in my living room every Christmas.

Because I live in Arizona I have a fun Arizona Christmas themed wall hanging.  I think I made this in 2000, I forgot to label it, shame on me!
Christmas Cactus

This is one I made last year,  I call it Moon Santa, but it is really Believe.  Actually I finished it on 1/22/11 the first one I made I gave away last year as a Blogoversary give away.

Believe or Moon Santa
I have so many fun Christmas quilts.  I can't post them all here but I wrote a post here about all the Christmas quilts I have and this was a couple of years ago.  I have more quilts now.  Christmas quilts are my favorite but I don't need any more but I have seen two more I want to make.   

Happy Stitching and a Merry Christmas!!

    The cross word quilt is so cute. I've never seen one like that before! But the lights on the cactus made me smile this morning, that was great!

    This is the first cross word quilt I've seen. It's very original and pretty, with just the right words.
