As the Bernina is still not stateside, my hand sewing projects are continuing with this is a bit of reverse cathedral windows done with a layer cake of Holiday Flourish by Peggy Toole at Robert Kaufman Fabrics. This was my trip treat from a recent visit home that was also an epic road trip. I found this in St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin, where my sister lives. I rarely (well, pretty much never) buy Christmas fabric but this collection was such a wowza I could not resist. It seems a little decadent to use it for this particular block as most of the fabric gets chewed up in the process - but I don't care. It's for Christmas and I'm willing to bend a little.
I'm still finishing the windows, but it is nice to take a break and rearrange them and see what a little gold star or silver snowflake looks like in the center. This will probably be a table runner or a mini-quilt for the table in the front hall. It's also going to be reversible so I need to figure out what (if anything) to put on the 'plain' back side of things.
Oh yes - Cherrypalooza continues apace. I'm still in love with that Kona Chinese Red fabric.
