Christmas Quilts

Woven Hearts are and important part of a 

Scandinavian Christmas and used to decorate the tree and

garlands hung around the house.  They are traditionally

filled with treats.  The exact age and origin is unknown

but the oldest preserved Christmas Heart was

made by Danish author Hans Christian Anderson

in 1860.  

Christmas ornaments were first manufactured by glass 

blower Hans Greiner, and they were shaped as fruit

and nuts in the late 1840's.  Then they slowly shifted to 

spherical shapes and became mass produced.

Both of these quilts were pieced and quilted on my home

sewing machine using traditional methods 

and were created by me.  They measure 82 x 82 inches

 and have 6 colours.  It is a PDF pattern and is 

available on my Esty site.

 Sunflower Quilt

Sunflowers and sunshine means its summer.  The Inca's used sunflowers to symbolize their Sun God and brought them to the temples.  Then came the 60's and sunflowers got linked to Hippies and free spirits.  Now matter how you look at it Sunflowers make you smile.  

The finished size of the quilt is 70" x 80" and uses 6 different colours.  The pattern is broken into smaller easier to handle pieces.  

This is a PDF pattern and has to be downloaded.

 Euro - Flower  Quilt

My Scandinavian background has exposed me to the colors that they use in folk-art 

and the clean crisp lines of the work.  I used their colors when creating 

this quilt so that I could achieve a bright, happy quilt.

I liked to alternate the colors in the four patches 

between red and yellow to make them pop.  The blocks measure 9" x 9" and each 

contain 33 pieces and 5 colors in total are used.
