O Holy Night

This beautifully made quilt is full of details.  Each tree has a unique miniature quilt block, and the sashing has hand-embroidered lettering.  The lyrics are from a Christmas carol composed in 1847 by the French composer Adolphe Adam:

O Holy Night, the Stars are Brightly Shining
It is the Night of our Dear Savior's Birth.

O Holy Night, made and quilted by Charlene Nelson.


 Charlene Nelson says, "I found the 4.5 inch miniature blocks in books, mostly by Judy Hopkins.  I hand-embroidered the letters using two strands of different threads and added the 3-inch stars in the sashing.  Our 'Gone to Pieces' quilt group did this as a quilt-along starting this January.  They are all very different."

 
Machine-stitched snowflakes echo the snowflake designs in the background fabric.
