Christmas Wall Hanging #1

Christmas Wall Hanging #1

It’s been fun to quilt several Christmas themed quilts or wall hangings this year.  Kinda makes me want to make one!  I guess it’ll have to be next year!  Barb has made 2 Christmas wall hangings and for this one we decided to use a simple meander and Quilter’s Dream Blend batting.

 For and economical and classic look, the simple meander is perfect.  The meander can be sized smaller to give it texture and easier to stitch through those areas that needs some flattening, like the pinwheel intersections.

Kim’s made a great  quilt for her “older” neighbor that she looks in on!  We decided to use a simple meander to keep it soft and easy for her use as a lap quilt.  The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly Select and the thread is Superior So Fine #50.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A simple meander and Dream Poly batting makes a very usable and everyday quilt.  Dream Poly has low shrinkage, is lightweight and needle punched like cotton batting.  Just throw it into the washer and dryer, no special care required!
