Are You Thinking About Christmas?

Believe it or not we're already thinking about Christmas. Holiday fabric has arrived and we've been busy making new samples and displays. "Holiday Chorus" is a new line from Andover Fabrics. Nancy Davis-Murty has designed a great quilt using the fabric. I made the bed-size quilt top and we now have it on display in the shop. The quilt finishes 87" x 100" and we have kits available ($134.95). The pattern is included in the kit at no charge. This is a very pretty quilt with just a touch of holiday sparkle!

Connie made this little wallhanging from shirtings and reproduction fabrics. It's called "Prairie Queen" from a pattern by Sew Unique Ceations. It finishes approx. 16-1/2" x 21". Kits are available for $22.00 (includes fabric for the top, backing, batting and binding).


Another reproduction wallhanging was made by Pat. It's from a pattern by Carol Hopkins Designs and is called "Edward's Quest." It finishes about 31" square and kits are available for $29.50.


I just loved the border fabric in this quilt. It's kind of a retro-looking print with large birds and flowers. I found the pattern in a magazine. It was an easy project because it's just nine-patches alternating with snowball blocks. The snowball blocks have easy, fusible applique. We also have kits for his quilt available. The quilt measures 62" x 80".

Gill is still working her way through the "Motif" book by Jeri Kelly. Here are three more she's finished. These seasonal wallhangings have been VERY popular. Kits for each one are only $7.50 and they're going fast!
