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.
