In the spirit of the season, I thought another give-away would be fun. This is my pattern "Holiday Melodies" and measures 55" x 67". It features a unique combination of blocks and a pieced border. Several neutral fabrics make the background sparkle, while rotary cutting make quick work of cutting. Over-sized pieces make it easy to trim blocks to the correct size. (You can click on the photo for a larger view.)
You may not have time to make it this year, but it's never to early to start on next year. To be entered in the give-away, please post a comment about your favorite Christmas idea between now and December 20.
If you would like to purchase this pattern, you may do so through my website
www.bysher.net for a Christmas special price of $5.00 Just say you saw it on my blog. (If you would happen to be the winner and already purchased the Holiday Melodies pattern, you could choose another of my patterns for your prize.)
After completing my Christmas Snail's Trail quilt top, I used the remaining Christmas fabrics for a colorful scrap backing. After all, there will be wonderful new fabrics available next year, and I will have new favorites to purchase and use for 2010 Christmas projects.
Scrap quilts must be my passion, as I see my use of multiple fabrics has spread into my Christmas quilts was well.
With Thanksgiving past and our tummies full of turkey, we turn our thoughts to the next big holiday. Certainly, you must have been hiding under a rock not to have been surrounded by Christmas advertising. Isn't it magnificent that we, as quilters, can see beyond the common, commercial offerings. We want to invest our time and talents into making a gift that truly comes from our heart.
