A Quilty Christmas in July Party! from A Little Bit Biased

This is my Snow Village quilt pattern. It's very simple. All the houses are the same. And that is not like me. I usually like scrappy quilts! The whole pattern had been screaming at me for a while to make it scrappy and add some embellishments.

So one day last January I finally tested my idea. I embroidered some little wreaths on pieces of wool and top-stitched them to the front of a house for "windows". I added in some little pom poms under the roof and planned on adding a button for a "door knob" on the front ...

Have you seen the trendy BAKING BOAS?

I received this one for Christmas last year

from my partner in crimes of fabric, yarn, travel and wine.

Kathy Guenther!

She also knows I am a Christmas Baking fool.

I just love it!

She found this one at Lehman’s in Oho Amish Country.

Many specialty / botique type stores carry these in many themes.

Calahans in Calabash, NC had these Nautical BOAs

The store BOAs are made of the thinner, flatter cotton towels and

it looks like they have 2 towels per BOA.

Retail costs between $20-$25

SCRAPPY TRIPPY KIMMY from Kwilty Pleasures

I have a great kwilty friend who loves scraps.

One of the first projects she encouraged me to do is...

Scrappy Trip Around the World blocks.

I have a project bin, with all the blocks

ready to sew. Clover clips keep each block separate.

I used a light green print down the center of each block.

Looking at it now...there's not a lot of variance in color value.

I used the Bonnie Hunter's tutorial

and you can find that one here!

These (now) ugly blocks will come charity quilts.

Proves once more...I never have been a ...

A Charming Christmas from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Summertime is almost here so that means the new collections of Christmas fabrics will be arriving in the stores soon.

So it is the perfect timing for the Fat Quarter Shop to release another one of their shortcut quilt patterns. This festive project uses Charm Packs.

The Fat Quarter Shop asked me which Christmas collection I wanted to use and I picked Little Tree by Lella Boutique. I knew it was going to look great with the White Grunge fabric I wanted to use for the background.

And here is my finished quilt!

Isn't it fun?

A Finish From Leftovers from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I STILL can't share my shortcut quilt finish for the Fat Quarter Shop blog hop. But I am going to share the little finish I made from the leftover fabric!

Any time I make a quilt design that has large "flip corners", I try and turn the bonus triangles into HSTs. I had only ten approximately 4" little blocks to play with.

I decided to turn them into this fun little Christmas table topper. It measures about 14" square. I just had to dig through my holiday scraps and find an extra charm square to use framed as the ...
