CHRISTMAS IN JULY
Would you believe that our reindeer in the right-hand
window, pictured at the left, are feasting on a Christmas Jelly Roll?
The big quilt behind the reindeer is the Carolina Patchwork design
called
Another Brick In The Wall, and is a great quilt for using scraps
of Christmas fabrics of random sizes. Right behind the reindeer (You
can
see just a corner of it.) is an Advent Calendar quilt with a pocket
(into which you can put a little gift, piece of candy, ...) for each of
the 24 days in December before Christmas; the instructions are printed
on the panel. The diagonal table runner, on the wall toward the
center of the picture, was made using the Aardvark Quilts pattern
Holiday Herringbone; our kit has 21 great Christmas fabrics for the
herringbone, plus the fabric for the binding. The tree skirt, called
Snow Falling in Cedars/Tannenbaum, using another Aardvark pattern,
is easliy identified at the left in our window. And Linda Sue's Fiber
Art
Contemporary Table Runner is lying on the floor of the
display area.
Two wall hangings are featured on the far left wall in our left-hand
window (at the right, above). Above is
Angels on High, designed
by Shely Rasche; you start with the panel of angels above a Christmas
landscape. Below is a pieced quilt featuring Debbie Mumm's
Santa's
Big Night collection. Displayed on the diagonal is the
Woodland
Holiday table runner. And in front of
Woodland Holiday, on
the floor of the display area, is a tree skirt from the book
Six
Halves Make a Whole Christmas; as the name suggests, each of the
projects in this book uses 6 half-yard cuts. The big quilt in the
foreground was made using Christmas fabrics with the
Take Five
pattern.
We have patterns for all, and kits for many of the projects featured in
these windows.
