Winter Solstice…the Grand Finale!!

Well…this is it gang…Winter Solstice finished or almost finished!  The Sew A-Long Gang all agreed that this was a fun, fast and easy project to make…and very of course, very SWEET!

So on with the show…

Here’s Glynis’ Winter Solstice…finished and gorgeous!

And it’s a finish for Claire’s!  Claire opted for a plain wide blue border and it looks striking!

Seattle Judy’s Winter Solstice is magnificent!

Sandy (no blog) added green checkerboard to hers and it looks wonderful!!  Doesn’t the green make the trees pop!  And I LOVE those pink polk-a-dot socks!

Here’s Julie’s (no blog)!  If you remember Julie was late starting her quilt but she is moving along at a nice clip and it is looking spectacular!!

And here’s mine…all done!  Now to figure out how to quilt it! I am so happy with it and certainly don’t want to screw it up now! haha

Another thing that  we agreed on is that having a Winter Solstice Quilt Along kept us motived and on track…and FIVE of us (almost six) reached completion!  Wow!  Those are pretty impressive odds!

Now let’s check up on the participating bloggers who are also making their version of Winter Solstice…come on how did you do?

So far, I have only heard from Stitching Between the Lines Blog and Tin TeePee/Log Cabin blog… but I’m sure that there are more ‘out there’??

Stitching between the Lines got her lambs done and man, are they  sweet! Pam is also saying that the border and quilting will be done by the actual Winter Solstice!  Can’t wait to see how she quilts it!!  So stay tuned!

Tin TeePee/Log Cabin Blog, Janna, managed to get her checkerboard border partway finished!  Right now Janna has been VERY busy flying here, there and everywhere!  I’m shocked that she got THIS much done!!!  Kudos to you, Janna!  Your quilt is on the home stretch and will be finished before you know it!  AND might I add, it is looking spectacular!!

A special thank you to those of you out in BLOGLAND who have been cheering us on each month as we continued to build and stitch our little farms…we really appreciated it!!

Remember, it’s never too late to make one for yourself…

You can find the pattern in this book…an oldie but a goodie!

Have a FUN Friday and have a safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!~P

  2. THANKS Paulette for grabbing my blog link for me--I had pre-written the blog and was going to get up early this morning and send you a link but I slept in a little longer than I usually do! I am LOVING how the little quilt has turned out and hope to get those sheeps stitched down on the way home Saturday.

  3. Hanging my head in shame....my little quilt is not finished! It's closer than it was but, due to circumstances totally beyond my control...well, sort of in my control...uh, partly in my control...my finish will be in November or December. I'm usually so good at these things...sigh....

  4. They are all great! I am always amazed how a little change in fabric can alter the look and feel of a quilt. Great job to everyone.
