The Christmas Goose

The Christmas Goose Quilt Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada is one of my most favorite shops.  They speak my color and fabric choice language.  They have a nice selection of wools and a variety of cottons too.

Please excuse the glare on the window.  The basket quilt is so cute I decided to show the photo any way.

This was a bow tie table topper.  It is so cute.

Here are some of the samples of wool projects they have.

This little Christmas quilt is done with needle felting.  If you haven't tried it you should.  It is  amazing the things you can do with wool.

I love this cotton wool project.  I think I would do it with squares instead of the half square triangles.

This would be a fun Halloween project.

The tumbler blocks are fun.  Isn't this cute.

I need to do my flag quilt.  It is one of my "I'm going to do that one day" quilts.

This sampler table topper is nice.  You get to try all different blocks, maybe you will like one block so much you will make a whole quilt with one of them.

These are little ornaments.  They are so nice.  Can you just imagine a whole tree with these on it.  Then maybe a tape measure garland and pin cushion balls.  That would be a lot of work but really cute.

I have decided you could make about anything with the twister quilt.

This advent or count down to Christmas quilt is nice.  It has pockets for surprises.  I think I would need one with bigger pockets so I could have five in each.

I think the simple flower is cute.

I have never tried this technique but I think it makes a nice soft quilt.  These were actually made into hot pads.  I haven't seen that before but I have seen them made into baby quilts.

No need to bother putting up a tree.  You could just hang up your tree quilt each year and save the energy for making gifts.

I don't think I have ever seen a sampler quilt like this one.  

This must be a block of the month.

This is in the class room.  I think it is a class.  I love it.

These would be cute for Valentines day.  My youngest has been asking me to decorate for Valentines Day but I don't have any decorations.  I really need to make some.

Cute tree skirt.

This is that pattern I want to try out.  I heard you use a jelly roll to make it.

The quilting is nice too.

I have thought that making a tree skirt with this technique would be fun.

These are some class samples.

WOW!

Cute pin cushion.

These little half square triangles are so tiny.  It is a darling project.

This is wool on a screen.  It is certainly interesting.  I think it could "grow on me".  Ha Ha.

Cute churn dashes.

The plus signs seem to be popular lately.

I love this because you could use up all sorts of thin little scraps.  Those were really skinny strips.

This is punch needle.  I have not completed any punch needle projects I am sad to say.

This is a little pin cushion.

This is a truly beautiful quilt.  The sun messed up the photo but I hope  you can get the feel of it anyway.  I am happy to say that The Christmas Goose is planning on coming as a vendor to Panguitch for the Quilt Walk.  If you are in Vegas check out the store.  

January Quilt Guild

Our January Quilt Guild was really fun.  We were learning about round robins.  This quilt is Debbie's quilt that she did at the Ruby's retreat last year.  It is darling.  I am sorry the photo is not that great.

We are doing a round robin this year in our guild.  The theme for our quilt is fall.  It can include Thanksgiving but not Halloween.  We have had a great response and will have many participants.  We will get a fabric pack in March and then have until August to make our blocks.  We make as many blocks as we have participants, all of the blocks the same.  Then we will exchange them in August.

This is a closer look at some of the round robin Christmas quilt.  The longer blocks are the filler blocks.  Those that participated in this one had to make like 16 regular blocks and 16 filler blocks.  These turned out so cute.  I wish my photo were better.

 

This is Claudia's Route 66 Round Robin block for this years Ruby's retreat in February.  It is so fun.  I have seen several of the others and I think it will be darling.

Mary did this cute table runner.

This is beautiful.  I would say stunning.  This is also Mary's.

This is Cheri's quilt.  Isn't it cute?  She does such a beautiful job with the embroidery.  

This is also Cheri's.  This is a hexie flower.  Below is the back.

This is Cheri's table runner and look at the back.  I think it could be reversible it is so pretty.

This is Sandy's quilt.  The quilting is so pretty.  If you look closely they are flowers not bubbles.

I believe this is also Sandy's

This is Claudia's quilt.  It was a mystery quilt.  It is so nice.  I think brave too.  I would have a hard time not being able to know what I am making.

Jan made this one.  She does a great job.  If you haven't checked out her blog it is quiltwalktalk@blogspot.com

Jerilu made this car seat cover.  

This quilt was so amazing.  Its blocks were generations old.  Guen put these blocks together that her Grandmother had made.  It was breath taking.  She said it was a signature quilt.

Crystal is making these pillow covers.  Her pillow has ruffles on the edges but she makes the covers to go over the middle.  They are so nice.

Becky made this Halloween quilt and the cowboy quilt.  The cowboy quilt she will be selling in her shop, Cowboy Collectibles in Panguitch.  I am fairly certain that she quilted these on her own too.  She is amazing.

This is also Becky's quilt.  The flowers are raw edge so they will fluff up when the quilt is washed.  It looks better than the picture.
