Okay, it's not even the end of Summer yet and I'm singing Christmas carols. It's the same every year. Of course every year the mad dash of Back to School, Halloween, Thanksgiving, St Nick and Christmas gets busier, so I try to get the small annoying stuff out of the way first. I've already collected some of the stocking stuffers and the St Nick candy. I figure I'm not the only one preparing ahead so I can enjoy holidays with my family rather than running through the mall, so I just posted this wreath on ETSY. I based this design is based on Tumbling Blocks, a quilt pattern that gives either a 3 D effect or a floral effect depending on the orientation of the diamonds and the color scheme. Here, the three stars are poinsettias and the other red diamonds are buds.
I originally designed this for my mother-in-law who moved to Georgia after a lifetime in West Virginia and Pennsylvania. She took her collection of family quilts with her. I made this to remind her of the quilts and the darker, more intense colors of Christmas in Pittsburgh, while taking advantage of Savannah glorious sunny weather in December.
