I know I posted the rag quilt that the quilting group made for the Victorian Bush fire appeal and yes I did do a lot of the sewing on that.....

Good Heavens! I nearly did a back flip when I saw this post at the top, it seems so long ago, nearly five years, and so much has happened to all of us since then.
Thank you all so much for the lovely comments, they might just inspire me to finish some of the other quilts I started way back then. :-)
Hugs n love to all, Meganne

Lovely,

Thank you for sharing this with us as it turned out beautiful. I have these designs all but the sleigh and I am going to try this one this year. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours as it will be my 3rd quilt and I still am not too sure of what I am doing.

I like it- the cardinal is my favourite.
But obviously there is a cat in your house- so I wonder how you managed to finish the quilt... those furry terrorists tend to conquer the project very soon and lay like stones upon it.
Impossible to work on... ;-)

Meganne, this is beautiful. Well done. Look forward to seeing what you do next.

Meganne, Beautiful, that sure does not look like a "First Quilt" Hahaha! Great job!!! Hugs, Judy

Megane, congratulations! Your work is wonderful!

You did a wonderful job. I'm very impressed with the time and effort you obviously put into it.

PUSH!

LOL!!! :-)

Meganne, great job, I'm sure your brother and wife is going to love it - Hugs Yvonne *4u

It's a beautiful quilt, something to be proud of and your brother and sister-i-l will love it. Such a beautiful gift! Nice to see your smiling face as well as the quilt.

Oh Meg, I love, love, love this quilt!!! What a wonderful gift - they will love it as well!!! You did a "first rate" job!!!! 4U* Hugs, Laura

Meganne this is beautifull !!! I wondered which one was yours, and this particular one was so lovely, because of the lovely chistmas colours you used. I particularly liked the fine red around the edge. I am waiting for the next quilt blocks (men), and will give it a good go. Congratulations on a job well done.
Hugs and God bless
Marietta

Meg - this beautiful and quite an accomplishment to have done. I did not even get mine started, so you are a winner regardless. Job Well Done!

It's beautiful, well done.

Beautiful, Meganne!! I'm glad you told the sizes of the designs and blocks, because I have some blocks I want to make, and wondered if 5x7 designs would work up large enough. I'm just not into fiddly little 3" squares, hee hee hee, unless they're made with strips and then cut. Your quilt worked up beautifully, that's just the size I'm looking for! I'm sure your brother and his wife will just love it, especially since you made it all by yourself! Hugs, Marji

WOW, what a great quilt. I bet your brother and his wife will love it. It is gorgeous. *4u Lynn

The quilt is wonderful, congratulations Meg.

So very nice !

Megganne, your quilt is beautiful. Your Brother and Sister-in-Law will love. I just love to make quilts. I like to have someone else with me when I buy fabric for a quilt. I don't have any trouble making a quilt but just don't like to pick out the fabric.

Thanks Lenamae, I wish my Mum was alive so I could make her one.

Great Job Meganne, have you begun to think about the next one he he

Thank you :-) Yes I had already started embroidering the blocks but found the designs needed repairs to the digitising so have put that one aside til I have more time.

Meg it is gorgeous. If you had the cuties voting you would have won for sure. Keep up the wonderful work now you will have to start quilting more. From experience both are addicting. Now instead of a thread stash you will have a fabric stash. LOL or has it already started. thanks for sharing. Hugs Lisa

Thanks Lisa. I already have more quilts in the planning stage. :-) The fabric stash will have to wait until I have more room to store it. LOL!!!

I love that, great work. Getting me motivated to do something today. Thank you

Thank you :-) It feels so good to accomplish something creative.

I love it Meg! I think you did a great job! I also noticed something else in the picture... You have a whole head full of beautiful hair! The last time I saw a picture it was fine baby fuss. It sure didn't take it long to grow back in and it is so pretty! In this picture, you could pass as a twin to my lifetime best friend. well, except for one thing, she is only 5'1". I wish I could send you a picture of her but I do not have a recent one. You really could pass for twins!
Glenda is a genius on a sewing machine and does beautiful hand embroidery but does not have an embroidery machine. We are total opposites but love each other like sisters! She is 1 day older than I am. She was born on Christmas Day! I wish she could see this Christmas Quilt. She loves quilts. Thanks for sharing with us!

Thanks so much Linda, I'm only 5'2".
I love sewing, there's nothing more rewarding than turning watching a piece of fabric evolve into a garment. It still gives me a buzz after all these years.

well you should have won, this is beautiful.. lots of time and love in this.. I will give you the prize..
