An American Notion combines holiday spirit with a great deal of hoopla. It integrates country warmth with festive charm, and can be used as an enchanting wall hanging or functional picnic throw. The delightful symbolism on each fabric is sure to make your quilt a holiday winner.
I’m pretty excited that Botanical Beauty is finally out! Last spring I went to the Rhododendron Gardens here in Portland, and was simply taken away. It’s a hidden gem of a garden, and right around Mother’s Day is when the rhododendrons as well as many of the other flowers are in full bloom. It’s such a beautiful sight. I was instantly inspired by all the surrounding beauty, so when I started designing this collection I was filled with ideas.
When Christmas came to a close on Gifty Galore (QWU) this year, we really needed something to look forward to making. Gifty Galore offers six months of wonderful projects with a new one posted each week from June through December. When the season comes to a close it’s such a disappointment to be left with nothing to make so, Teri and I put our creative heads together and came up with a series of candle mats.
I planned to make some stockings last weekend, to put small gifts and
holiday treats in for friends and family, but I got a cold. This week, I decided it
was not too late! I downloaded the Connecting Threads' free pattern
for Homespun Christmas Stockings and promised myself I would only use
fabric from my stash.
