Enjoy Christmas Quilting with a Winter Top Hat Snowman Quilt

  By , , , , ,

Christmas is in the air!  I returned home from Thanksgiving to see beautiful Christmas lights throughout my neighborhood. Our tree is going up this weekend. I’m also in the mood for Christmas quilting and sewing and as a result designed this Winter Top Hat Snowman quilt pattern. This is about the only way I can get cozy with snowmen as it doesn’t snow much here and when it does, it’s not enough to make a nice size snowman that doesn’t start dripping immediately.

Winter Top Hat Snowman Quilt PatternThis pattern is pieced with appliqué noses. Buttons are used for embellishment for the eyes and mouth. The size is 47 1/2″ x 60 1/2″ and can be easily adjusted to make it larger or smaller. Now what kid (or adult) wouldn’t love a snowman quilt to snuggle with to stay warm!

The pattern for Winter Top Hat is available in my  Etsy shop for easy download so that you can get started immediately.

I hope your December is filled with the wonder of family and friends, along with some cherished quilts!

Time for Christmas Quilting

  By , , , , ,

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner, and that Thanksgiving almost here. I think that the weather staying warm later this year has made me feel that the holidays are getting here so much more quickly than normal. However there is still time to make a quilt for Christmas, whether for yourself or for a gift and I will be sitting at my machine this week. These quilts are a few that I have designed for Christmas.

Christmas Stocking Quilt Pattern

This Christmas Stocking quilt makes a cute quilt for children to snuggle under. It can be made as a scrap quilt using different scraps of fabric for the different sections of the stockings as well as using your precut fabrics.  The size of this pieced patchwork quilt is 47″ x 58″ but can easily be adjusted to make it larger or smaller.

Holly Christmas Quilt

Holly is a natural at Christmas for decorating. This Holly Christmas quilt can be used each year to go with your holly decorating.  This quilt pattern gives two options, the full quilt or a smaller quilt using the center panel.  The pattern provides instructions for both to give you double use. Make one for yourself and one to give away. The full quilt is 68″ x 84″.

Christmas Tree and Bows Quilt Pattern

This Christmas Tree quilt is made dimensionally with the leaf sections of the tree sewn to the quilt top at the top point of each leaf. The leaves  hang loose at the bottom edge.  Bows are appliquéd in the border.  This quilt is 28″ x 32″ and can be made from your scraps or precut fabrics.  Red ribbon is used for the bow at the top of the tree.

These patterns as well as other Christmas quilt patterns are available in my and Etsy store as downloadable pdf’s so you can start quilting immediately, without a wait time for shipping. The weather has been nice enough to be outside some but isn’t it more fun to be inside quilting than raking leaves?

Happy Quilting!
