I hope you all had a good Christmas. We have several days in a row of snow and storms over Christmas. Luckily, the storms weren’t that bad here, so we made it to all of our Christmas celebrations. If the wind had picked up and if the temperature had dropped, we would have had a huge blizzard and it would have been a different story! It truly was a Winter Wonderland!
All that white had me craving some color . . .
This is what the winner of give-away from my last post is getting!
Katie from www.thetoproomcreations.blogspot.com is the randomly chosen winner!
Katie, please e-mail me at hmulder@wecnet.com, to leave me your shipping address.
I finally finished up my Figgy Pudding quilt, just a day before Christmas. I started working on it at a retreat earlier in the month. Here I have it laid out on the sitting room floor at the home where we stayed.
Hi Marcia!
Doesn’t it match this room perfectly?
and isn’t this room beautiful?
I ended up changing the applique, as you can see here.
It’s now hanging in my front entry, though I think it looked better in Marcia’s sitting room!
Even though I love to change my paint colors, I just can’t justify painting my entry over a seasonal quilt. . . .
Just in case you are wondering where to find this pattern, it’s in my book Livin’ Large.
Here’s the original quilt-
I just changed the applique, changed the fabric and added borders. It looks like a completely different quilt!
I also finished up two table runners from my On the Run book.
The first one is Fresh Blooms, made from Hushabye fabrics.
This next one is called Sweet Escape, and uses fabrics from the Rebel Roses line I designed with my Mom.
This one is really quick and only takes 16 charm squares.
That’s all for now!
I hope you all have a safe and Happy New Year. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to stop by my blog in the last year. I appreciate all your comments on the quilting, or whatever it is that I am blogging about. I have lots of new things coming for next year, so I hope you will continue to stop by! Several of the new things will be revealed already in January, so I can’t wait!!!!

Oh my goodness, that quilt is gorgeous! I love how you changed the applique to poinsettias for Christmas.
I love the table runners, too. Do you sell the book from your website… or where can I get it?
Happy New Year Heather!
What a fun, fabulous color array of fabrics. Congrats, Katie.
Oh my word, your Figgy Pudding quilt goes SO WELL in Marcia’s room………Marcia – I’d be asking for one if I were you….LOL
Okay, it looks great in your Front Entry too. LOL
I just love when you show pics of your house, Heather. You have such a good eye.
Happy New Year!!
Oh Wow! I love the quilt AND the tablerunners! They are all so beautiful! I think I’m going to have to hunt down some figgy pudding!
I like them very much! I’d like to make such beautiful things like you. Its colours, its designe….
I’M in love…
I wish you Happy New Year!
I love your quilts. I love your quilt on Marcia’s floor. I also love Marcia’s love seat. Will Marcia let us know where she got her love seat? Please?
The love seat is from Pier 1 and so is the chair in the second photo!
The Figgy Pudding quilt is gorgeous! Looked fabulous on Marcia’s floor, and very nice on your wall. I love all your other projects too. Hope you have a wonderful 2010.
Quilt is gorgeous!! And I love the able runner…I’m in love with that whole line, though! My mom got me the kit for your strawberry shortcake quilt for Christmas and I’m finishing it up tonight! I also have Wildflowers on order, I can hardly wait!! You do amazing work!!
They all look so fun! I defninitely want to get your On The Run book. I have been raving to everyone about your Stop, Drop & Roll book, and this one looks just as great!
Your quilting on Hushabye is so very perfect and pretty. Wish I could do that. Figgy Pudding is pretty too. I may have to make my Pretty In Pink in another color too. That was such a fun pattern to make.
That is truly a gorgeous quilt.
Hope you have a wonderful new year.
Loved the Figgy Pudding Quilt … I made one of your patters out of the fabric … hmmmmm can’t remember the name right now. It was adorable, and I am working on another Figgy Pudding quilt. Such fun fabric. I think your new line is a must have … look forward to purchasing some.
Happy New Year … blessings and continued success to you and yours!

Beautiful quilts and tablerunners. I ALWAYS love your work.
Absolutely gorgeous..sitting here stunned by the freshness and beauty of them all!!
Beautiful quilt!!! I love that loveseat, it is too cute, too.
The picture looks pretty good, the paint doesn’t seem to clash. The quilt looks great and the quilting on it is fabulous. Love it! And I really like your rebel roses line of fabric. I like the colours and the red print one is my favourite. Have a Happy New Year!
Your quilts are so pretty, I love looking at them.
Happy New Year! I love your material and patterns and I’ve bought 2 of your quilt kits so far. I’m just finishing up the second quilt now and I loooove it. Will you be selling quilt kits for your new fabric line, Wildflowers? Please let us know! Thank you.
love the figgy pudding quilt! fabulous!
Gosh, I so like to check out your blog. Your work is so attractive and well done. It is beautiful and inspiring. That includes both your quilting and knitting. Thanks for sharing.
The Figgy Pudding quilt is wonderful. I just finished cutting out a Double Takes pattern with your Rebel Roses fabric and cannot wait to get started. Happy New Year!
I love the quilt in your entryway! How do you hang your quilts on the wall? It looks like a normal curtain rod but what kind of hardware do you use to hang it?
Ewww What a lucky, lucky winner!! Congrats!! I love all the quilts made. That Figgy Pudding is awesome.
I’m a first time visitor and really enjoyed your post. I just found your Sizzlin Sixties book and loved it so much I wanted to let you know. When I saw it online I thought there is no way I could ever make this amazing quilt, than I found the book in the store and was able to see the directions and was AMAZED at how easy and fun (!) it would be to sew! Can’t wait to dig in and start making one over my vacation this week! Thank you for your amazing gifts and talents and sharing them with all of us!

Heather I was so pleased to see you post pictures of another way you worked your Pretty In Pink quilt! It is just gorgeous!!! I finished a quilt using your pattern just recently as a gift for my Grandma! I used fabric from Bonnie and Camille with your Pretty In Pink pattern and I am so happy with the results! Your pattern was so easy to follow and produced a quilt I am very happy with!!! I posted pictures and gave links and credit to you and Bonnie and Camille here: http://bugzmommy.blogspot.com/2010/01/pretty-in-pink-quiltcottage-style.html
Thanks for your lovely work and thanks for sharing it with us!!!
The new fabric is wonderful as always. Love Marcia’s sitting room furniture and the quilts are just what we all love about you!
Happy New Year.
I hate that I have been away from your blog!! Your quilt is beautiful and love all the projects you finished up – you have been pretty busy up there – all snowed in!!!
Love your quilts and fabrics ! Do you do your own “quilting” ? Home machine ? Longarm? I love the designs – very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
