Marilyn's Winning Christmas Wreath Wall Hanging Quilt

This isn't the quilted wall hanging's name but I know the maker, Marilyn, so it's what I call it!

Marilyn's Winning Christmas Wreath Wall Hanging Quilt

Marilyn is a fellow master gardener so it's not surprising that one of her quilting projects would involve flowers. The beads and glitz, however, was not typical of the person I know so when I ran into her at the quilt show, I asked about this turn of events.

Ah, she said, that's because she decided to make this for a friend who does like glitz, and that made more sense.

Quilted wall hangings are wonderful home decor options because they can quickly change the look of a room, in this case both add a holiday spirit and a wreath with a touch of holiday tradition, the beautiful poinsettia.

This won first place in the 2017 Piece and Plenty Quilt Guild Quilt Show in Rolla, Missouri.

I have to admit, I like the addition of the beads inside the poinsettia leaves for the actual flowers, the beads add a lovely three-dimensional look to the handmade quilt.

Love the way Marilyn used beads to make the Poinsettia flowers inside the red and white leaves.

And no need to water these poinsettias, they will stay pretty all season!
