Just wanted to share my entry to this year's Christmas challenge at the Eastern branch of Irish Patchwork Society.
I made it in express mode, in the last couple of days before the meeting, so no process pics. The background is a kind of ombre-effect log cabin, the image itself - free-hand, little-planned appliqué made using the Crafted appliqué method. I also used some beads for holly and mistletoe berries and poinsettia buds. The size is about 20''.
Here are some other beautiful entries from the challenge:
I was thrilled that my piece took the second place and brought me a beautiful fabric prize!
During the afternoon after the meeting there were some Christmas demonstrations, and I showed some ladies how to make poinsettia appliqué, and I think I'll also make a small tutorial for that here on the blog, too.
