December updates

 

This is a lap sized quilt ( 50" x 58") fresh off of Megan Best's long arm quilting machine.  The fabric line is from Clothworks and the pattern is "Postcard Christmas" by Coach House Designs.  The pattern is $10.00.  The complete kit is $100.00 and includes your choice of flannel or cotton backing.

Since we can't visit each other's homes this year I decided to share some of my 

Christmas decorations with you.

 Lots of oldies but goodies!

This one is from Shabby Fabrics with fabric from Marcus

The table runner is an old pattern from Country Stitches.

I stitched this one on the way to my first Quilt Market in 1996!  I think it is from a book from Kindred Spirits, but I am not certain.

My kitchen is decorated with gingerbread.  I do not remember who the designers are that created these patterns

I feel so very blessed when I see all of these stockings hanging!  This pattern is from Indygo Junction.  It has a coordinating tree skirt.  We decorate a living tree and it can only be indoors for a few days so I can't share a picture of it and the tree skirt. 

 I do not know if this pattern is still in print.

This pattern is from Buttermilk Basin.  The stars are made from wool.  

 I believe this pattern is still available.

I have a fun collection of snow globes.  Most of them are gifts from my children from when they were growing up.  I love taking them out of their boxes and winding them up to hear the carols.  My granddaughters are entranced with them, also!

This sweet snowman ornie is from Cottonwood Creations.  The pattern is $6.00 and the "Santa Snowball Ornie" is made from wool.  The gnome ornies are from Susan C Shore Designs pattern"Gnome for the Holidays". The pattern is $5.50 and SUPER FAST AND EASY!  You could whip up a dozen in no time at all!

This is another Cottonwood Creations design, "Snow Stack".  This pattern is also $6.00.

This is a holiday/winter mask panel...quick to make and WAY more fun than the blue ones everyone else is wearing!  Stand out in the crowd!

Chickadee Hollow has an entire line of pre-printed, pre-colored patterns.  I have had so much fun embroidering some of the stockings.  Just the right size for a gift card/tree ornament.

another pre-printed, pre-colored pattern from Chickadee Hollow.

This is a 60" square winter quilt from Debbie Maddie.  The snowflakes are a printed panel.  The kit, with backing, is $82.95.  

Megan Best also quilted this one.  This is just the top half of the quilt.

I also have a facebook page:  folktales fabric shop, where you can see some updates and videos of some of the amazing products and resources available to quilters and crafters.  

It has been a tough year for so many...I hope you have a cozy place where you can create some beautiful things.  It nourishes my soul to be able to create with needle and thread.  Enjoy the holiday season, the carols and the lights, and let's all hope for a brighter year in 2021.
