Christmas in July Then and Now Blog Hop


Welcome to my day on the Christmas in July (Then and Now) Blog Hop. I need to thank Carol from Just Let Me Quilt for host us and keeping us in order. Here is the full schedule, drop down a few chimneys, checkout what's surprises are under trees while sampling Santa's milk and cookies.                                            July 27

I thought I would make this project it would be perfect for this blog hop.  

It finishes at 20" so I thought it is a nice size.
 
The sections pieced together before the applique. Put a circle in the middle and I think it would be great just like that.

Now I haven't had time to quilt it but I will before Christmas. The applique was a bit challenging for me as I don't do a lot of applique. I hope you enjoyed visiting today and enjoy the rest of the Blog Hop.
Until Next Time
Keep Stitching
Cynthia

  6. What I love about this beautiful piece is that I thought you had done 2 separate snowflakes. I don't know which I'm drawn to more, with or without the petals. Either way just stunning.

  30. I really like your table topper. I does look a little complicated, I'm not much into applique I find it rather challenging. I hope you will post again once you've gotten it quilted, I'd love to see it.
