Yesterday was a day to have fun in the studio. With Christmas fast approaching, I was tempted to dip into my stash of Christmas fabrics. I was looking for a quick project that would not add to my never ending UFO list.
This was the perfect project. It measures just 12 1/2″ x 24 1/2″ and can be finished to the binding stage within a day. (The white in the picture is not a border, but is the batting before it has been trimmed away.)
The letters are fused to the background and then attached with a machine blanket stitch. Quilting is simple–an X across each square in the border and then outline stitching around each letter. After binding and the addition of a sleeve, this project is ready to give away as a gift.
I love this one Norma, my elder daughter, my sister and believe it or not my father all share the same middle name ‘Joy’ – I think I should make something similar for each of them for this Christmas. I especially like the heart shaped letter ‘O’
what a wonderful “o” 🙂
Hi Norma, what a darling little hanging!!Why is it we almost always forget about these cute and quick little ones that give such satifaction! I’m going to write myself a note!! But what should it say???
Maybe JOY?? Hugs, Finn
PS..I love your pumpkin quilt # 1 and what great perfectly straight lines.
I think your Dad might be hard to please, since no true straight lines exist in nature…LOL I’ll bet he loves this quilt tho!!!
That’s a perfect holiday project. It’s just the right size to get the job done quickly and it’s so festive looking you can help but smile.
Such a cute, cute wallhanging! And so fast. Wonderful! 🙂
Very cute and fast too with that fusing! Just the perfect thing to whip for Christmas gifts.
What a darling little project, I love it! Isn’t it fun to start something and finish it so quickly?

Ahh — I see you have switched. The pressure is mounting – I will have to switch soon I guess.
An absolutely perfect wall hanging. There is a lot of power in those 3 letters and the wall hanging captures it all.
