It's a Christmas miracle...the binding is sewn on BEFORE Christmas!
I really wasn't planning on finishing up my Suburbs quilt for this Christmas, but Kathy sent it back to me this week so I have a bit to enjoy it!
Isn't this quilting BEAUTIFUL?!!!!
I just love the "stormy sky" and the straight lines in the houses and trees. It just adds so much character and movement to this quilt. Kathy is amazing if you need a quilter!
The pattern for this quilt is Suburbs, and I added a tree block which you can find as a free printable template here. It's a fun, fast sew!
There are more details about the fabrics in this post about the quilt top.
My kids are the BEST ages for Christmas this year. Jane's only request from Santa was for candy canes....so it's safe to say she'll be thrilled! ;)
Merry Christmas and much love from my family to yours!

Thank you for sharing everything you do. Your work is inspiring, as in get up and get something done (for me). Your colour (canadian spelling) schemes are very classy. And, you share pictures of your life, which makes you a real person to follow. Thank you to you and your family.
