Ahhh yes. Christmas is round the corner. Time for a Christmas quilt! Well, it doesn’t have to be. But mixing a couple of Cori Dantini Christmas lines with Kate Spade just made the perfect (pear-fect?) combo.
Don’t you just love the quilting?! Vicki from Orchid Owl Quilts never disappoints. She’s done a couple of quilts for us, like the popular Painted Ladies. She’s really great at giving each block it’s own personality. And the touch of ruler work on the border really sets off the scallop.
Scallop optional by the way. However I do have to say that it really jazzes up a simple border. On Pearfection, the curves are gentle enough for a beginner. Heck, I did it and it was only my second scalloped binding. The first was the smaller scallops on our even smaller Fierce Pearfection. You can do it! I believe in you!

Yonder Quilt Along: Row 12
Another short row! Man, I love these. Even though this is one of the tricky arch rows, it went together fast. I’m working on greens, moving from yellow greens into blue greens, so this stripe is a great transition piece. I thought it was from Tula’s basic line but the selvedge says Tabby Road. It’s…
Conifer
Conifer! Conifer! Conifer! I had this idea to make pine cones last year when I put together the Gremlin’s Christmas stocking. When I started it, the strips were too tiny, you couldn’t see the fabric, and I was worried it looked like piles of (reindeer poop). I also didn’t have it separated out into blocks;…
Yonder Quilt Along: Row 5
It was bound to happen eventually, life was going to get in the way of my Yonder-ing. Darn it. But I’m back on track with Row 5’s Arch Blocks! I planned on getting a half yard of orange for the row and it turns out that that was way too much. I always get nervous…
Yonder Quilt Along: Row 4
It’s Row 4 of the Yonder Quilt Along already. Where did June go? Anyone else curious how this summer is flying so fast? Ooof. So much to quilt so little time. It also didn’t help that this week the Gremlin wanted to cry for an hour at a time or that I broke a glass…
