It’s an old chestnut, but why not? July is a good month for us crafty folk to start thinking about Christmas gifts and decorations.
I’m posting a picture of a fun little wall quilt that I created after my book A Merry Little Christmas to Appliqué was published. I call it “‘Tis the Season” and it’s 18″ x 18″.
This machine-appliquéd, machine-quilted, button-embellished, very cute project shows how you can put together your favorite festive designs to make a quick gift for a special friend (or for yourself) to put on the wall during the holiday season. The book contains a whole variety of Christmas-time appliqué designs in sizes that play nicely together. Besides wall quilts, they can decorate placemats, potholders, aprons, tote bags, table runners, mantel covers, and any other fun crafty thing you can think of.
And, the book includes instructions on how to make soft hanging ornaments using the designs.
During the month of July 2007, over at Quilt Puppy, A Merry Little Christmas to Appliqué is free with any other book purchase. Happy Holidays from the Quilt Puppy!
