I was going through my files this week when I came upon these comp files. They are from my original pitch for
Modern Holiday. At the time we were talking about doing two versions of all the quilts (crazy, I know) - in holiday and non-holiday projects. Eventually this idea was abandoned in favor of including more projects, but I thought you all might be interested in seeing the pictures. Even though most of the fabrics aren't available anymore, these picts might inspire you to make some Holiday non-holiday quilts of your own!

Also, back in March I filmed a segment of
The Quilt Show in historic Charleston at the Old Exchange. I talk about the book, quilting, designing, etc. It was so fun! And I really had to pinch myself talking to Alexa Anderson and Ricky Tims! If you
hop on over you can see a preview. In this segment I gave pointers for making the quilt on the cover and for making and binding the garland tree skirt. That segment will launch on Monday and they have given me a discount code that I can share with you all then so check back. In the meantime you can see a trailer
here.
Happy sewing!

How fun to see them in different fabrics and color schemes!
Thanks for the "quilt show!" All of the designs are gorgeous.
I have your book and love the quilts in the holiday fabrics.
It was a great idea to show them in alternative fabrics too!
Loved the smilebox on your episode, can't wait to see it!
It is so nice to see these designs in all the different looks! They're fabulous!
Thanks so much!
