It's hard to believe that we're already halfway through the year. Is it just me, or has time flown by these past 6 months? And now it's time to start thinking about projects for the upcoming holiday season! We all need something to celebrate, so we've compiled some of our most popular Christmas patterns and launched a month long sale for you to enjoy.
We'll be sharing all of our holiday projects throughout this month on Instagram, so join us there for a virtual trunk show! You just might see something that sparks your imagination and gets you in the Christmas spirit.
To get started, I picked out some of my personal favorite quilt patterns that we've developed over the years and I'm so excited to share them with you now:
The first pattern is called Anticipation, and here it features the Very Merry collection from Andover Fabrics. I created this quilt early on in my quilting career, inspired by the idea to use actual ribbon for the bows on the packages. I've found this design to be super flexible and think it looks great recolored in birthday themed fabric or light colors for a wedding quilt.

The next two patterns are called Christmas Spirits and Under the Lights. In 2007 I was asked to design two quilts, the first for Quilter’s World and the second for McCalls Quilting for Christmas Magazine. I created Christmas Spirits for Quilter’s World, and chose Under the Lights for McCalls. I was both surprised and honored to have these quilts shown on the cover of both magazines. What a thrill!

This year I created The Midas Touch quilt, featuring Rejoice from Benartex Fabrics. This quilt will be featured in Benartex's Christmas in July project hop, so be sure to check out our previous blog post covering how this quilt was designed. We even have a three part quilt tutorial on our YouTube channel to walk you through the entire process, from cutting to block construction and final assembly.
You can also track the entire Christmas in July Project Hop by following Benartex Fabrics on Instagram or reading their blog. This event started Monday, July 20th and runs through July 31st. Our quilt is set to showcase on July 21st.

And finally, the last pattern I wanted to share with you today is Twirling Trees. This project came to fruition during a wonderful collaboration with Island Batiks. Make it in reds and greens for Christmas, or try it in forest colors to make a perfect fall or cabin quilt!
