Quilters Newsletter Best Christmas Quilts Giveaway!

Quilters Newsletter Best Christmas Quilts 2012 issue is out on newsstands!  It is also available online here.


I have two projects featured in this issue and they are both really fun to sew! Sparkling Ornaments is a fun lap-sized quilt with lots of dimension.  I especially enjoyed adding trim to the ornaments and making three-dimensional berries with tiny yo-yos.  It was quilted by Deborah Norris.

I also designed a Winter Wonderland Table Runner.   Decorating Christmas trees with seed beads added a little extra sparkle!  Plus I used YLI's white pearl metallic thread for the quilting - really a nice product!

I used Aurifil thread for the piecing and applique and Warm and Natural batting from the Warm Company for both projects.

Robert Kaufman contributed 16 fun fat quarters comprised of fabrics that I used in both projects to give away!  And you will get a copy of the magazine Quilters Newsletter as well if you win!


Aren't they delicious?

For a chance to win this luscious bundle and a copy of Best Christmas Quilts, leave a comment on this blog post before 11:59 p.m. MDT on Friday, August 24th. I will draw one name at random.

Great use of color and simplicity...a fresh approach to winter that doesn't overwhelm. but rather reflects a seasonal calmness and serenity...nicely done.

beautiful quilts!! I especially love the holly and berries that frame your fist quilt :-) And thanks to you and Robert Kaufmann for the chance to win that lovely looking fabric!!

I love these! I like the fact that they are not the traditional Christmas colors. And I really like the patterns. The runner caught my eye because of the cute trees but also because of the color placement it looks like it has lace in the center. All of your quilts have "sunny" colors in them thanks.

I love the quilt and tablerunner, I like using non Christmas fabrics for something different, then you don't feel they're only for Christmas too. I'm going to be shopping in my LQS for this magazine as soon as it's available, love the fabrics you used too. Thanks for the great giveaway.

I think it will be a beautiful table runner/quilt even if it will be a new experience because someone is new to this site.

Learning is always fun and helps keep ones mental health fresh and young.

I personally love learning from every person or blog that I can find and I am new to this one and can't wait to learn and maybe help others to learn also.

Thank you for the opportunity to enter this contest and good luck to each and everyone entering and HAPPY SEWING to everyone.

Blessings, Linda
