This year, I decided I really only needed the tree. Well, the tree and a front-door wreath (which is like an honorary tree) and quilts. Any other decorations were unnecessary. Once I started laying out my quilted decorations, though, I realized they’re all trees!

| Exhibit B: The mini I made during the curves class I took at Stitched in Color. |

| Exhibit C: My Christmas tree quilt |
You know what this means, of course. I have some Christmas making to do for myself. Realistically, that won’t be happening anytime soon, but coming to From Bolt to Beauty for Christmas 2019: something other than trees!
This tree-related rant is not a clever way to distract you from my lack of a finish. I do have a finish, a big, yellow finish. I’m not confident that it will get into QuiltCon, but I love, love, love it. Read more about it here.
If you have a finish, we want to read about that, too. Add your post to this week’s linky!
The pageant rules are simple:
- Post your finish in the linky tool. (No links to your own giveaway or linky, please!)
- Point your readers back here with a text link or use the button above.
- Visit and comment on other participants’ finishes.
Hi Michelle! I do not have a single quilt with a tree in it. Oh wait, last year's I Wish You A Merry has a tree block in it. It seems like it has a bunch of small trees - like nine of them. But that's it. I hope to have a few MORE trees for next year. HAHA! I really love all of yours - especially the trimmed one and the Christmas tree quilt. I'm going to check out that mini tutorial! Happy Happy Friday. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteI've had one of those Christmas Tree quilts on my list for years... not looking good for this year either;-) I'll just have to admire yours!
ReplyDeleteI think the only quilt with "trees" on it is my version of Fire Pit from Stash Statement and that's kind of a stretch. I did go from only one Christmas quilt two years ago to having four (two of which I made this spring/summer!)
ReplyDeleteTrees are a great symbol for the year and I have to admit I'm quite fond of all the trees you've made to date. I look forward to seeing what you will create! Which reminds me, I have a quilt design that isn't a tree that I'd love to work on sometime... Hmmm.... :)
ReplyDeleteI love all of your tree quilts! My only Christmas quilts are snowman quilts... both of which are still only tops. I should finish them someday, lol :)
ReplyDeleteAll great finishes, but I think B is my favourite. It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteMy only Christmas Quilt is with lots of trees too :) And why not?! I saw a giant Christmas wreath quilt on IG, maybe that is an option for 2019... or stars... I love stars... Whatever you pick, it will be fun and you have almost another 365 days to decide :) xo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your beautiful, big, yellow finish! I love seeing the variety of tree projects. Exhibit C is my favorite. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love each and everyone of your trees!!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I have a Christmas tree problem myself. I have 4 trees up in the house right now and a quilted tree wall-hanging. My holiday quilt is wreaths so I'm okay there. :)
