"Christmas Legend" from Henry Glass & Co.

This past week just flew by but I did manage to find

time for playing with this new collection of fabric. 

. . .

The new lines of Christmas fabric started shipping to stores 

about 2 weeks ago. This is the collection I was sent.

"Christmas Legend"

by Bruce Park

for Henry Glass & Co., Inc.

There are 2 panels in this collection and I forgot to take a

picture of the Santa panel which is behind the golden

hanging ornament panel.

I call this block 'almost wrapped' because of the single thin

strip of fabric in the center of the block [looking like ribbon].  

What's missing is the bow on the top thus ... 'almost wrapped'.

When I send photo's to Jennifer she likes to receive

progress shots meaning ... what the blocks look like

before they become [in my case] a quilt top.

This month included 4 spools of Auriful thread [which

is my favorite thread].  Auriful is an Italian company [based

in Milano] and is considered one of the best threads on

the market.  What I love ... it's very smooth and

closely twisted which means less lint. 

Julep

The 'almost wrapped' quilt is done but not quilted.

Julep is napping on the hanging ornaments top.

While both tops are pretty simple in design I won't finish 

them until later in the year [if I finish them at all].

Along with Christmas fabric came this collection in three

color ways.  The cuts are 'wide back' meaning

it's 108" in width.   I was sent a 1/2 yard of each color

with no other blender material so I was thinking of

what to make and placemats came to mind.
