Holiday options in July

Well...we thought we'd turn up the heat...oh yeah, it's already hot outside, so now it's time to really DO something about preparing ahead for the holidays.  No pressure, but if you're like me, I always think about starting earlier, and then, sure enough the heat is on and you know what day it is.  

Here is a new project featuring just 5 fabrics, you could even do with with just 4, so if you  have a favorite fabric and want to feature it this is the perfect throw size quilt.  Did I mention quick too?!  We have a kit with this wild rose fabric, and the pattern is a great one by Villa Rosa designs - a versatile pattern option to have in your bag of tricks.

And then - we do have just a few new fabrics for the holidays...love this little woody car hauling a christmas tree...
Fabrics by Stella

French General - La Fete De Noel

Scandinavian style prints
A couple of the metallic prints feature gorgeous stripes - perfect for the 60-degree table runner!  Have you thought about these for hostess gifts, your favorite hair stylist, teacher, etc...you know the perfect gift to have on hand for someone?

More red and white...
Red and Turquoise!
We thought we'd turn down the heat a bit with this wintery blue and cream collection called Snowbird by Laundry Basket - a few batiks are thrown into the mix as Edyta does best.  We have a couple of the batiks, a variety of the prints in shades of blue and a few jelly rolls and charm packs for this group, but they are going fast.

Since we were wanting to get that wintery wonderland feeling, we hung up a few snowflakes and a couple of snowy owls stitched from wool felt.  These can be a great tree ornament, decoration for a package...or just fun to display!  The website we found the pattern on is amazing - almost every bird I can think of she has created a pattern for.  You gotta check Down East Thunder Farm's website!  

Happy stitching!
