True Christmas by Carol Carpenter, quilted by Kris Neifeld 

Carol Carpenter says, "Christmas brings joy in so many different ways.  The sweet applique and pieced pattern caught my eye and shares my vision of a true Christmas image.  Joy to the World!"

This wonderful quilt is based on the Christmas Morning Delight pattern by Lisa Norton & Lora Zmak at Material Girlfriends.  Many colorful batik fabrics can be seen in various blocks. Kris Neifeld quilted spiky stars within the sawtooth stars in the borders:

Christmas Morning Delight, 38 x 38", by Holly Oddson

Holly Oddson won a blue ribbon for her rendition of Christmas Morning Delight. We love the use of bright batiks rather than Christmas fabrics in this modern holiday quilt. For extra sparkle, the quilt is embellished with Swarovski crystals.

The pattern is by Material Girlfriends. Lisa Norton says that it was inspired by Psalm 148: 'All heaven and earth will praise the Lord. Shining stars and all cedars will even praise Him.' The verse inspired Lisa to draw a Christmas tree dangling its star to delight the holy babe.  Holly Oddson did the construction and quilting on a domestic machine.
