Before I went out, I screen printed these 2 pieces using Thermofax screens made here. They are both going to be used in Christmas gifts. I drew the flowers from a bouquet that was given to me, and I have no idea what they are.
Then I was invited to my friend's for lunch and some sewing time. I neglected to take my camera, so again, I missed out on getting a picture of her quilt. She is doing a 'quilt as you go' Christmas quilt. I really must try that some day. I took my Winter quilt which you will recognize if you have followed my blog, and I finished sewing on the binding. In each of the corner blocks I am embroidering snowflakes. These were timely as while I was nestled into the sofa beside the fire, I noticed the first flakes of snow falling outside. We are getting just a small part of the big snowstorm that the more southern areas of the Maritimes are getting.

I like the bird with both black and white in the print. I'm glad we don't have any snow yet. They are talking a chance of snow Sun. night but I hope they are wrong.
Your screen prints are so gorgeous. I'm not a blue person but somehow blue at Christmas appeals so I especially like the plaids, the snowmen and the hand stitching. Very cozy!
Good morning Holly...we got all of that darn snow...lol. Your screen prints are lovely..I especially like the bird one. It stands out nicely on the blue background. And your winter quilt is fantastic! I it lovely work; and such a wintery fabric...looks like you just want to snuggle up in it. Very nice.
I love your quilt, so nice to finish it as the snow falls.
Your screen prints are wonderful! Wow! I've always wanted to try that. Your quilt looks so cozy and warm - perfect as winter hits.
