Quiltmaker’s Countdown to Christmas continues!
Today we’re featuring a virtual Show & Tell of Christmas or holiday quilts we have published in the past few years. Each image is linked to our shop site where that issue may be purchased, in case you don’t have it. Enjoy!
You Got Cookies? appears in the Nov/Dec '12 issue of Quiltmaker.
You Got Cookies? by Sonja Callaghan is in the Nov/Dec ’12 issue of Quiltmaker. Is this polar guy friendly or what?!
Jingle Patch is part of the Patch Pals Collection and appears in Nov/Dec '12.
In that same issue, we featured Jingle Patch. He’s the final character in QM’s Patch Pals Collection. I showed this quilt during a recent guild program, and someone suggested we name him Foggy Patch. I thought that was brilliant!
Dresden Delight appears in the Nov/Dec '12 issue of Quiltmaker.
This is Dresden Delight, also from Nov/Dec ’12. These colors suggest the holidays, but it would be fun in blues and white, or pastels, or any number of color combinations.
Boxes and Bows by Denise Russart was in the Nov/Dec '11 issue of Quiltmaker.
Going back to last year’s Nov/Dec issue, Denise Russart’s Boxes and Bows was prominent as the cover quilt.
Winter Critters by Sonja Callaghan appeared in Nov/Dec '11.
We also had fun with Winter Critters, another Sonja Callaghan design. Find the pattern in two parts: Nov/Dec ’11 has Part 1, and Jan/Feb ’12 has Part 2.
The Santa’s in Stitches stocking was an opportunity to use decorative machine stitches. Wouldn’t this snowy stocking look great on the mantel?
Polar Patch from the Nov/Dec '11 Quiltmaker
And of course there was Polar Patch. I just adore this little penguin pair. Super easy to make with mostly squares and half-square triangles.
Snow Globe Village appeared in Nov/Dec '10.
Snow Globe Village appeared in Nov/Dec ’10. This quilt brings back memories for me—how about you? I still love to pick up a snowglobe and shake it.
O Christmas Tree is patterned in Nov/Dec '10.
Paula Stoddard designed and made O Christmas Tree with wool applique. Cute as can be.
Starlit Forest is patterned in the Nov/Dec '10 Quiltmaker.
We made Starlit Forest as a group project for a co-worker who was beginning a new career as a nurse. The pattern is in Quiltmaker’s Nov/Dec ’10 issue.
Flip Flop Ornaments: Use the Jan/Feb '10 issue along with the Nov/Dec '10 issue to make this quilt.
And Flip Flop Ornaments concluded a string of Flip Flop quilts we designed. The silvery purples, blues and grays are cool as a cucumber. The instructions for Flip Flop quilts are in Jan/Feb ’10; the ornament itself is in Nov/Dec ’10 (you need both).
No shortage of ideas for holiday quilts, right?! I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s virtual Show and Tell. Please come back tomorrow for more Countdown to Christmas fun.
I have been loving your display of festive quilts! thanks so much for sharing they are all so beautiful and do bring back memories of past mags I have received.
i’ve recently started my quiltmakers subs … am going to enjoy this magazine.
going to have to go back and look at the flip flop projects.
I love the polar bear! How cute
Several of these are on my “to accomplish” bucket list. The bear and the snow buddies are really cute–and simple too.
