It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...


Despite the fact that it's 80outside today in New Hampshire, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.  I just received my copy of Quilters Newsletter's Best Quilts for Christmas and I'm starting to get that holiday feeling! 

Of course it may just be excitement because two of my quilts are featured in the pages of this delectable special issue.




Check out page 70 for my O Holy Night wall hanging.  I made this sweet little quilt as a Christmas present for my mom just last year.  It was so fast and so much fun to make that I gave one to myself too!


My Cranberry Christmas table runner is found on page 75.  Simple piecing and easy wool appliqué give this quilt a warm and cozy feel.  Better yet, I used only a few "Christmas" fabrics, so it looks great on the table all winter long.



Best Quilts for Christmas is currently available on newsstands.  If you haven't yet picked up a copy, it's also available on the Quilters Newsletter website.  And don't forget to check out Quilters Newsletter's blog for your chance to win beautiful fabric.  Maybe Christmas will come early to your neck of the woods too!
