The Quilts of Christmas Past

I know it isn't even Thanksgiving yet, but if you are a quilter you are a long term thinker and planner anyway. Here are a couple of quilts from long ago in my quilting history.

The first one dates from about two years after I had started quilting so there are numerous flaws both in execution and color choices but I still like it. This quilt was a real lesson in attention to details. Jodi Warner was the designer.

The snowmen quilt was and is just fun. They are comical anyway and the snaps for eyes and fringe and buttons just emphasize the humor. The snowman on the right has a very nice Liberty of London tie. This one was a Red Wagon design. The part that took the longest was sewing on all of the small fake pearls.

It's funny that color choices have changed so much since 1993. Many quilts back then were the muted "country" colors and now everything seems to be discordant neon brights.
