Good Morning, Quilters!
I was thrilled to hear how many of you went straight to work on yesterday’s free motion quilt tutorial, The Poinsettia!
(By the way, I didn’t mean to imply that the only December programming here at The Inbox Jaunt would be a few Tuesday Tutorials…we will have a full range of posts–though not daily, and there will only be three Tuesday Tutorials in December -not five.)
How did it go? What did YOU make? Can’t wait to see those mug-rugs! Check out our Flickr group here and post YOUR photos!
POINSETTIA TIC-TAC-TOE
I made a simple grid with six-inch squares… and filled in a few Poinsettias.
Next…a bit of Candy Cane Stripes on the diagonal–all in 40 wt Sulky Rayon.
Then, using 50wt cotton Aurifil, I filled in the background using the Woven Cross Hatch/Orange Peel and a Plain Grid…
A little binding…(whine, whine)
And I’ll be ready to set my table with this vase quilt and a real Poinsettia–or maybe some bright green Holly…
Can’t wait to see YOUR Poinsettias!

Hi Lori, I sat this morning with a pen and paper drawing the poinsettia pattern, just trying to get a feel for how it will go on my Christmas tree quilt I am in the process of making. I so love this pattern, thank you so much, this is so much fun just to even draw and doodle it on paper, it helps me to “practice it” before actually quilting it! You are awesome!
Lori Kennedy
Great to hear that you love this pattern–AND that you are DOODLING it first–best way to learn it!

Oh Wow! Beautiful – I’ll keep dreaming, I know the skill will come! 9 months on I can cut with a rotary cutter pretty well having despaired that I would ever cut an accurate straight line without wasting fabric 🙂
Lori Kennedy
Practice makes perfect! You’ll be stitching like a dream in less than six months!
