Santa's On His Way by Debra Day, quilted by Stephanie Nordlin

Debra Day bought this pretty fabric panel many years ago but did not know what to do with it. When her guild said they were doing a Round Robin, she decided this panel was perfect for the challenge. Each month they were given a different border to put on their quilt. Debra says, "I love how mine turned out!" The finished top was machine quilted (computer guided) by Stephanie Nordlin.

Christmas Dreamin' by Rhonda Jenner (South Dakota).  

This beautiful quilt was made with hand applique, embroidery, and quilting; machine piecing and quilting. Based on the Baltimore Christmas pattern by Pearl Pereira, Rhonda Jenner changed several things on the design. She removed Santa's pack, the ornaments, and the pipe; and added a quilt for the doll, some drumsticks, an airplane, a football, a ball, and a glove.

Rhonda Jenner says, "Fourteen years ago, three of us chose our fabrics to complete our quilts. One got lost, one finished the year before she passed but never quilted it, and I finished mine last year.  Between life's adventures of illnesses and losses, it is now complete."   - The angels and gingerbread men are among our favorite blocks, shown below:
