This was my Guild library project for November. I loved that part of the hanging was done as English paper piecing and then it was finished with traditional background and borders.

The English paper piecing was done in Christmas fabrics so, rather than using the Welcome Home lettering that the pattern suggested, I added the word Joy.

When I quilted the piece I used a Slip and Sew product and I think the results were quite good.

I used a holly template when I quilted the outer border but, because of the pattern in the fabric, it doesn’t show well on the front.

If all my other projects are ever done I’ll borrow this book again; there are many other projects in the book that are quite stunning.
