I love this fabric.  I’ve used it in so many projects.  As an accent, a background, a border.  It’s a pretty color with a pretty, understated design.  Love it!

 

 

Here’s a beautiful tone on tone red fabric.  Happy little swirls sprinkled with little stars in a gorgeous red…. not an “in your face” red, but a dark, muted red. 

 

 

Can you hear the bells ringing?  A mottled green background with gold bells scattered all over – can’t you see it paired with the gold fabric above?

 

 

Never A Pair! designed by Mary Kerr makes a cute lone mitten or a lone stocking… who knows where the mate has gone.   Decorate your tree or give as gifts.

 

 

If you need a new tree skirt One Crazy Christmas is a good choice.  You’ll get instructions for three projects…. a tree skirt, a wall hanging, and a stocking.  Crazy quilting and reverse applique are used on all three items.

 

Folk Art Christmas measures 55″ x 57″.  It’s so colorful and cheerful.  Now is the time to start on this one to be sure it’s finished in plenty of time to hang for the holiday season. 

Go pour yourself a nice tall glass of iced tea or cool lemonade and cool off looking at all the Christmas patterns and Christmas fabric. 

 

Jo Morton has been quilting for over thirty years.  Not long after that she began creating small quilts that were new, but had the look of “olde”.  With a long list of teaching experience to her credit at quilds, shops, retreats and shows, she has also appeared on Simply Quilts and Love Of Quilting. Her quilts are in public and private collections across the country. Since publishing her first book in 2000, she has written and published well over a dozen books. 

You have almost certainly seen her fabulous lines of fabric that she designs for Andover fabrics.  The new collections of Jo Morton fabrics will take you back to the 19th century with beautiful interpretations of period fabrics.

Coming Home is 92 pages of projects and inspiration.  With a new layout and revised directions to make it easier to follow, you will find pieced quilt patterns as well as applique quilt patterns.  Twelve quilt projects, plus two more from Jo’s Little Women Club 7 that are “Worth Repeating”.  

Pre-order now so you can get your hands on this one as soon as it is available!

Subtle stripes appear on the background of the larger floral.

A plaid on the diagonal jazzes things up.

A green leafy print for a little pop.

This dot spattered printcomes with a pink background and a tan background.

This tone on tone also comes in pink.

Here’s a table topper from some of these fabrics. Measuring 36″ square, it’s quick and easy to make.

Three fat quarters (small floral, plaid, and tone on tone pink) plus a yard of tan and a yard of dots on pink background will complete the quilt and leave enough of the dotty pink for binding. Leave a comment with your e-mail address and we’ll send you the pattern in pdf format.

Coastlines is number 6 in the Accidental Landscapes series from the Quilted Lizard. Easy construction (no templates needed!) yields a one of a kind landscape quilt.

Using Batik Cascade Baby Blue will give you a full range of blue for the ocean.

Save the leftover blue for the sky in Golf Courses. You can make good use of Batik Cascade Grass in this quilt. Use it for the trees, the green, the fairway and the rough. Wow… all from one piece of fabric!

West Coast & Lagoon quilt landscape scenes have colorful skies and one features a sandy beach. Batik Cascade Cerise will give you many different shades for the beautiful sunsets. And Batik Cascade Khaki will work great for the beach areas.

The change in shade in all of the Batik Cascade colors moves from the most pale shade to a very deep dark shade. These fabrics will be useful in so many quilt projects. They are great for applique, giving your flowers from flat to full of interest and depth. Even simple log cabin blocks will take on a certain pizzazz. Try a few and have fun experimenting.

Vine Creek by Kansas Troubles includes three different tone-on-tone almond / caramel / beige fabrics.

And two simple large red floral prints, one with an almond background and the same floral print with a black background.  And smaller red accent prints… one with red berries and one with tiny red flowers.     This collection of subtle fabrics with a punch of red would make a great lap quilt for a family room.

Romantic, delicate blooms in pink with an occassional light blue bud on a light background and a large light blue flowers paired with pink daisy-like flowers on a black background are both a part of the Tuscan Wildflower collection.   

These can be paired with the Fusions Blues and Pink and would make a pretty table topper for tea or a beautiful bed quilt for a guest bedroom.

There are several from which to choose . . .

…and several more. The clubs offers a choice of the fabric cut: fat quarters, half yard cuts, yard cuts.  Each club gives 5 cuts of the size you choose, with the exception of the Marble Club which is 4 pieces. Every month you will receive your choice cuts about the same time of the month and every attempt will be made to not duplicate a piece of fabric in a twelve month period. Your stash will grow and grow . . . unless of course, you sew and sew!

Then there is the Ugly Duckling Fabric Club.  For only $13.49 you will receive 3 yards of fabric in various sizes: quarter yards, half yards, fat quarters.  All fabrics are quality 100% cotton and will include florals, prints, solids, and designer fabrics.  All fabrics that have been sold in the store – so you know they are not really ugly! Good fabrics, a surprise and all for less than half price – what a deal!

So if you know a certain someone who hasn’t shopped for you yet, copy and paste this link: http://www.quilterswarehouse.com/s-57-mcfc.aspx in an e-mail to them… hint, hint.

And bold prints. . .

And eveything in between.
