Last year I made a ton of minis and one large quilt for the Women's Advent Tea my church does each year. I had already decided I don't have the time to do a table myself, the way I would like to do it, for this year.
But one of the women in charge of the Tea called last weekend - she said that so many had talked about my quilty table, they hoped I could donate a quilt for the raffle this year.
Perfect! I certainly have the time to make one lap quilt.
Figgy Pudding is still my favorite holiday fabric, so I'm going that direction with color.
I pulled out the graph paper, some markers, and sketched away.
(I could not find a maroon marker, so the purple had to stand in)
A little bit modern, a little bit traditional - hoping to grab the attention of both the younger and older crowd. Due mid November.

I LOVE Figgy Pudding - I'm also doing a quilt in that right now. Your sketch looks amazing!

Very cool! Can't wait too see it all done.
This is going to be lovely. I was a big fan out your minis last year, but have no idea where you got the time to do them all! It was impresive!
