Christmas Quilt Show 2011

Oh my goodness, am I late for the party? I so love looking at all of the contributions to the Christmas Quilt Show over at SewCalGal's blog. I've been having some computer problems, which seems to have scrambled my brain. 

I started out making a table runner using the sleigh and reindeer from my GO cutter. I had eight reindeer, the sleigh and started making little houses, didn't like it. Then came snowmen and trees, didn't like it. 
I looked out the window and saw the row of palm trees across the street and knew what I wanted to make.





Feels like home. 

I hope you're enjoying the show. I'm off to visit the other wonderful quilts.

Thanks for coming by,
Dana

    Sand and a palm tree are different for me, but they look great in your quilt. Very nice.

    Palm trees at Christmas, never thought of that. We are expecting our first snow. Lovely little quilt.

    Nice! I guess it's so wintery here (Wyoming), where we've had snow since the first week of October, that I never thought about palm trees with Christmas.

    We spent early December in Hawaii one year, and I really had to get adjusted to seeing palm trees lit up with sparkly white lights. And dolphins. But it was all good. love your quilt!

    Hey, I think all the comments are positive. And I love your Christmas Quilt. Of course, everyone shoveling snow may be a bit jealous.

    And, as I live in so. Cal. we really do see people decorate their palm trees for Christmas.
