Filed under: Needlework and Textile Guild of Media, Quilt Magic Poinsettia
Santa brought me Mary Maxim Quilt Magic Kit of a Poinsettia.
My sister got a more traditional pattern, a Christmas Star Quilt. Since too many miles separate us, Santa got each one our own. She couldn’t have all the fun!!
While Bill enjoyed another 9 holes of golf, I opened my no-sew, no glue wall hanging. That’s when I discovered that I have to cut 52 pieces of fabric!! I was hoping to be done before Bill got home. It seems unlikely since Step 1 took me quite some time. The mitered corners were tricky. You tuck the fabric into the foam cuts.
The gold sides went easier except they didn’t say how to cut the pieces. Pinning the pattern seemed like puckering might be a problem. So, I cut the paper and traced it with my purple pen. I’ll need a new purple pen to trace all these shapes!
With that, Bill came home. More another day.

This looks similar to a process used in making Japanese Edo Kimekomi Dolls. Your poinsettia will be gorgeous.
