And while we're on the subject of Christmas: Cheryl Billing Smith

Not quite a quilt but Cheryl sent us a photo of some of the 24 Christmas Bon Bons that she made for her Christmas presents this year.

I made this a number of years ago from a commercial pattern - the details of which escape me at the moment. However ,it was beautifully custom quilted by Robyn McHardy of Sunshine Quilts.

This hangs in my front room every year for about a month and the many iron-on sparkles look fabulous by the Tree lights. The photo doesn't do the colours justice, but I just love it.

My quilt of Christmas blues goes on my sofa during the decorations period.
I had a thing for Christmas fabrics in blue for a while!

This is a little wall hanging. It's not actually as shiny as the photo suggests -the flash on the camera picked up the silver in the fabric.

This quilt was made from a swap of Dresden Christmas Plates and added to over a few years.   

I ran out of fabric for the centres, but I was able to source the Battenberg lace doylies. It was custom quilted by The Quilting Bug, Natalie, in Hoppers Crossing. It is Queen Bed sized.

This yellow and blue Christmas quilt is a Mystery Quilt I designed and ran for the Mystery Quilt group; it is MQ # 11.

The square quilt was made from blocks 'won' at Launceston Patchworkers and Quilters. This quilt is very dear to me, as I hand quilted at my mother's bedside in the last weeks of her life.

The row by row was done with others in LPQ. I did 2 rows for this one, so it all went together.
