Christmas in July: Merry & Bright

Get out your Christmas trees, garland, and stockings! We're hosting Christmas in July here on the blog this week. It may be warm and sunny outside, but if you start your holiday projects now, they'll be done before December. Check out our fabric collections each day, download the free quilt patterns, and ask for the fabric at your local quilt shop. 

Today we're featuring Merry & Bright, a Kanvas collection with contemporary flair. These tree, holly, poinsettia and snowflake prints come in a traditional bright red, green and ivory palette with touches of metallic gold. 



Watch for our free quilt pattern, All Is Bright, on our website. Don't you love how it uses a fussy-cut strip of the holly stripe in the outer border?!

Christmas in July: Winter Wonderland

Get out your Christmas trees, garland, and stockings! We're hosting Christmas in July here on the blog this week. It may be warm and sunny outside, but if you start your holiday projects now, they'll be done before December. Check out our fabric collections each day, download the free quilt patterns, and ask for the fabric at your local quilt shop. 

Today we're featuring Cheryl Haynes' Winter Wonderland collection. It includes one of her signature panels featuring a snowman, an ice skate, a bird house (of course!), and festive winter greens.


Twenty-three coordinates in a range of values take inspiration from the designs in the panel and are ideal for both piecing and applique projects.

Fandangle Virtual Trunk Show

We've had so much fun sharing nine different designers' ideas for using Fandangle this week! We're finishing up our Fandangle spotlight with a virtual trunk show, sharing Christa Watson's patterns. 
Enjoy!


Sparkling Stars
70" x 70"

"I wanted this quilt to be a show stopper! When I designed it, I had so much fun playing with the cool and warm palettes. I wanted a pattern that would make them work harmoniously. I love the grays in the background—they create a shadow effect."
Click here to read Christa's post(s) about making the Sparkling Stars quilt.
Click here to purchase the Sparkling Stars pattern.

Love the close-up! 


Surplus Strips
67" x 82"
"This scrappy modern quilt is made with precuts. I’ve sewn it in both warm and cool colors. It’s easy to make and very graphic."

Pearl Pendants
50" x 60" or 60" x 72"
