"ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH"

 
I finished binding and
labelling my 
Christmas wall hanging...
"Angels We Have Heard on High"
one of my favorite Christmas carols.

This was part of a Jan Patek pattern
that I machine appliqued...
and hand quilted
I love that my little angel
is made from Tom's Pj's ;)))
I don't have many fabrics that
are usually used in "Prim" pieces;
so he's one pair down--- hahaha.

I also have been making a secret gift for 
someone special

here is a sneak peek at the back
I just fell in love
with this Vintage fabric...
Isn't it neat???
So evocative of happy times....

****************************
And staying with the Christmas theme today
I began making some little Christmas trees
I am using Amy Smart's
(Diary of a Quilter)
method....

These are such fun to make..
she's right, you can't
just make one...;)))
💝💝💝

**************************
I have also picked up my next butterfly
[now that my "to be mailed"
gifts are done]
and am working on it slowly...


I hope you are all enjoying your long weekend,
getting some sewing in, and 
staying safe
😷😷😷

Hugs from afar,
Julierose, La Blageuse

  2. The angel looks great! I got my packages in the mail on Wednesday. I was the only one in the Post Office Lobby other than the clerk. It was a quick trip. Now I can relax. I love the little Christmas Trees. Not only is the pattern a good one but I love the fabrics you have chosen.

  3. I keep thinking, "It can't be Christmas already?" But your lovely angel is right on time. This year disappeared somewhere!

  5. Very cute and love that his PJs were used for the piece! For some reason I am picturing him wearing them still with a hole in them from where you cut it out!
    A little cutting and a little sewing... time to get out my snow globes... then dinner.

  6. I love your little Christmas hanging. When I was working at a quilt shop in the 1990s the Red Wagon books were all the rage, Jan Patek and Gerry Kimmel and Linda Brannock. I hope I spelled them all right, I have sold my books so I can't check.

  9. I have long loved Jan Patek's designs, so that little quilt makes me smile. I'm giggling at the use of the pjs - has he missed them yet?? Haha. Those trees look fun!
