I knew that my Mom would LOVE a Christmas Tree Quilt - but I was mean and made her wait till Christmas!
She got into bowling a few years ago - and found out she really likes it! and she even got my Dad playing... as long as he doesn't score better than her!
So I searched and searched and searched for bowling fabrics and finally found some that I really liked ( Thank you SpoonFlower designers) and ta da!
These are cell phone photos - so look close - but aren't those fun?
She even picked out a few as her favorites
and I used the rest of the fabrics for a strippy background - so its really a two sided quilt
Sooooo does that count as two gifts??? ha ha!

What fun! That was a great gift and I love using extra fabrics on the back.
ReplyDeleteI can tell she was pretty happy with her new quilt:)
ReplyDeleteHow fun and original!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Bowling fabrics!!! Now I have to put those on my bucket wish list as well. Beautifully done. I can tell she loved it! Wishing you a creative and productive 2019.
ReplyDeleteI love my quilt and even more my lovely thoughtful daughter who made it for me
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt. I don't think I've ever seen bowling fabrics.
ReplyDeleteThat is SEW creative!! Who would thing to use something other than Christmas fabric for a Christmas tree? I mean, colors like the boys' quilts, sure. But, bowling?!?! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteOh, wow! That turned out so cool, and it's so exciting to know someone else who uses Spoonflower fabric!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you were able to incorporate your mom's hobby, and I love that it isn't strongly Christmas colours so it can be used more of the year. Thanks for linking up with TGIFF!
ReplyDeleteA very fun Christmas gift! It turned out beautifully. I gifted my quilting sister some fun fabrics with a gingerbread theme from Spoonflower. They have some one of a kind themes and patterns. Congrats on a one of a kind quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun tree quilt, I love that it is two sided.
ReplyDeleteI love the smile on her face and the quilt. What a fun way to personalize her quilt! She'll be the envy of all of her teammates!
