a patchwork christmas quilt


This last week I started sewing a patchwork Christmas quilt with some of my new favorite Christmas fabrics, Alpine Wonderland and Cherry Christmas. 


I also added in some basics and pretty florals.  I love how simple and quick it was to put the top together.  



I think I'll add a border or two, and then on to sandwiching and quilting I go.


I've also been decorating and have added some new vintage and vintage inspired Christmas finds to my decorations.  My favorite find is a White Christmas tree I purchased off Craigslist for only $10.   Oh, nothing is more exciting to me than to get a great deal on something I've really been wanting!  :)



 Red and Aqua ornaments!  :)


I found a pretty red and white vintage tree skirt at a thrift store right after I got my tree!  It was meant to be. hee hee!!

My sweet Sophie loves our new tree and all the ornaments!!  :)

Some vintage class ornaments I found this week-end!  I think I'll do a wreath or hang them from a frame.

 A couple bottle brush trees and a gnome glass ornament from World Market!

I hope everyone is having a lovely morning!!

Hugs,

    I love your tree! I just made a Christmas postage stamp quilt form a jelly rool, I wish I would have thought of adding some other fabric to it, what a great idea!

    I'm not sure how I found your blog, but I love your style! The fabrics you've chosen for your quilt are so much fun and your white tree with red & turquoise ornaments is perfect! Love the photo of your cat displaying the ornament. :@

    The white tree is gorgeous and I love all your decorations. I remember when I had my first apartment so many years ago, there was a little 5 & 10 cent (!) store across the street and I bought ornaments like some of those for very little money. Wish I had kept them! Your quilt is gorgeous!

    Beautiful Kerri! I love it all!! The alpine wonderland and cherry christmas are my fave too, and they look so great together. The way you used larger blocks to showcase the larger print is perfect!
