Little Penguin Quilts Through the Year

Little Penguin Quilts Through the Year

Saturday, December 14, 2024

I bought myself a Christmas present...

 and it's one of these - a tabletop mini quilt hangar.  


I've wanted one for a long time, and especially this year, since I've been working on the Year of Hearts embroidery project.  Yesterday I finished the December heart, so I've ended up with thirteen of them, because I stitched one of the bonus blocks that Melisa shared last summer.


All along I have been pretty sure that I didn't want to sew these into a larger quilt because that type of quilt wouldn't get used around here.  But a monthly mini would be a lot of fun to display and change out frequently.  So here's how it would look:

Each heart would get a two inch border and 
then finished with quilting and binding and a sleeve on the back for hanging.  
I thought this Fair Isle sweater print would be fun for the December mittens!

I should get started finishing the January heart so it's ready to hang when we get there - we're halfway through December already!  But meanwhile for today's slow stitching, I'll be back to the Ole Crow Saltbox house that I started a few weeks ago.  There are plenty of stitches left for this one!
