mystery sew along hosted by <b><u><a href="https://www.sweettreasuresquilts.com/shop/c/p/The-Kindness-Project-Printable-x48726815.htm" target="_blank">Sweet Treasures Quilts called the Kindness Project</a></u></b>. The goal was to make a
quilt and gift it to someone affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. I finished my
quilt top and then tucked it away . . . pondering who to gift it to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I knew the answer would come to my heart, and
it did.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">I am taking a little
license with my choice, but I think you will understand why.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It goes without saying that 2020 was a
difficult, sad and challenging year for so many people. But one miraculous
blessing came out of that year. A friend of mine became pregnant, after 14
years of trying! When I learned that she was expecting, I was thrilled for her.
A few weeks later when I learned she was having a girl, I thought . . . THAT is
where my Kindness Quilt will go . . . to the baby of my courageous, funny,
loving, big hearted friend whose dream finally came true during the craziest of
times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m hoping this quilt will be
much loved by a baby girl who represents hope and love and all things
good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-7z1xVS14sPhCEhJlOmYO8YbKEvffnaDkKPwKPVMQVqC9pfIUr9c_XB-QizWtkJB4nBxBo-KNVW6CZQCTv98RW4n9ptsXSd8usrn9Ri-kpSvEz4u3lDSFaPfVYd7nd9DEyAqMCvTAuY/s2048/FNVX9290.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR-7z1xVS14sPhCEhJlOmYO8YbKEvffnaDkKPwKPVMQVqC9pfIUr9c_XB-QizWtkJB4nBxBo-KNVW6CZQCTv98RW4n9ptsXSd8usrn9Ri-kpSvEz4u3lDSFaPfVYd7nd9DEyAqMCvTAuY/w480-h640/FNVX9290.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">I did find a way to
spread some cheer to others whose daily life was directly affected by COVID. My
mom lives in a lovely senior apartment complex during the winter months. While
it is not an assisted living facility, it is under the management of the local
hospital. For much of the year, all of the residents have been under tight
restrictions. During the worst months, Mom and I visited only through Facetime
and countless phone calls and texts. When restrictions loosened up a bit last
winter, I was able to drop off some table toppers, wall hangings, and small
quilts from my sample closet. Mom was then able to gift those to ladies that
she knew needed a particular pick-me-up. I know there are many of you who did
something similar, and my hat goes off to you! We put our hearts into each of
our projects, and love goes with the quilt when it is gifted to someone else,
even someone we may have never met.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

a lot of love for my new buffalo check patterns, which included two bed quilts
(<b><u><a href="https://carriedawayquilting.blogspot.com/2020/08/new-pattern-buffalo-check-winter.html" target="_blank">Buffalo Check Winter</a></u></b> and <b><u><a href="http://carriedawayquilting.blogspot.com/2020/07/new-pattern-buffalo-check-autumn.html" target="_blank">Buffalo Check Autumn</a></u></b>) and the <a href="https://carriedawayquilting.blogspot.com/2020/09/new-pattern-buffalo-check-christmas.html" target="_blank"><b>Buffalo Check Christmas Runner</b></a>. I also heard from some of you that while you like table runners, you
really prefer table toppers! Well, I aim to please, so I came up with a new
pattern, my <b><u><a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/CarriedAwayQuilting">Buffalo Check Table Topper</a></u></b>, which is really <b>two patterns in one</b>. Yes,
this pattern will provide instructions to make either a Halloween or Christmas
table topper for your home!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The construction is straight forward and
easy enough for an advanced beginner. The only “tricky” part is making sure
that you keep all of your whites, lights and darks in the correct order, but my
instructions include lots of tips for doing that. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Once again, I used Moda
Bella solids for the buffalo check portions, and then incorporated some
favorite prints for the gifts, pumpkins and stars.</span></p>

version, both of the gifts are made using Sweetwater prints I had in my stash. The
red dot you see in the star points and gift ribbon is Moda’s Essential Dots
Country Red (8654 101). The red gingham in the star centers is a mystery, just
something cute I found my stash. The great thing about this pattern is that the
fabric requirements are so small, you can pull a lot from your scrap bins!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

version, the pumpkins are made using an older Lori Holt autumn text print and a
candy corn print by April Rosenthal for Moda.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The candy corn print is part of April’s Midnight Magic II collection,
which is scheduled to arrive in stores in May. I also used Midnight Magic II
for the star points, star centers and pumpkin stems. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

collected a small library of quilt patterns and books. On evenings when I am
too tired to sew but have quilting on my mind, I enjoy perusing them and
pondering future projects. My husband approves of this pastime as well, because
it means he gets to control the clicker and can watch golf, or fishing or some
other sporting event on TV without me complaining. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">Recently, we shared just such
an evening of marital bliss . . . Brad watching “Wicked Tuna” and Taunja
thumbing through her pattern collection . . . when I came across </span><a href="https://www.thepatternbasket.com/product-page/boat-day-1"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">“Boat
Day” by the Pattern Basket</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">. I purchased that pattern a while
ago, thinking someday I will have a grandchild who wants a sailboat quilt. Rather
than wait for that wonderful someday, I decided to sew up a single “Boat Day” quilt
block and make a pillow for our house by the lake.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUQP0aGRsIuUE0FPgM8AW6p3EYIG1R650x00jLH0MNLHXSx-gkJbnPhH5EBBC4Zm6w1D3qjILMYitPAhtninbR6bzqe2ravYs51URoV5_UJmwOKTd41j6Egh8ocrfZlGj3w0llcxGXfwU/s2048/GUAKE8975.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUQP0aGRsIuUE0FPgM8AW6p3EYIG1R650x00jLH0MNLHXSx-gkJbnPhH5EBBC4Zm6w1D3qjILMYitPAhtninbR6bzqe2ravYs51URoV5_UJmwOKTd41j6Egh8ocrfZlGj3w0llcxGXfwU/w480-h640/GUAKE8975.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

classic and understated for my “Boat Day” pillow, so that it would look pretty
sitting in the corner of my dining room. The background fabric is Moda’s Indigo
Chambray (#12051 13), which has nice texture and depth. The navy print is from
the Sweet Tea collection by Sweetwater, and the stripes you see on the sails
and binding are from Lella Boutique collections. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeI2Aqc-4q4BFDD6hFwxfDh6PFG1ZxB-of3AwUFZqBSS1P_kVM_L3W8Rx1HW75Tx3tw-3TtfpVbUM9n1c7oFF5MM_aPHJoBNS3DJczwpvu_UK7H16ZAc9-P7FE_85hcZvxgYRXrneV-K4/s2048/NQZHE6158.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeI2Aqc-4q4BFDD6hFwxfDh6PFG1ZxB-of3AwUFZqBSS1P_kVM_L3W8Rx1HW75Tx3tw-3TtfpVbUM9n1c7oFF5MM_aPHJoBNS3DJczwpvu_UK7H16ZAc9-P7FE_85hcZvxgYRXrneV-K4/w480-h640/NQZHE6158.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

the full “Boat Day” quilt featuring a regatta of vibrant, happy sailboats. But
for now, I’m quite happy with my grown up sailboat pillow. And I’m thankful for
quiet evenings spent with my sidekick, where we can both enjoy life’s simple
pleasures.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

March, and we are finally experiencing seasonally appropriate weather in
Minnesota. The polar vortex is gone! High temps are in the 40s (F), the sun is
shining and the bird are chirping. Although we still have some snow on the
ground, it is melting slowly. Spring is just around the corner. Halleluiah!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

for you! They have kitted up a lovely version of my Crossing Petals pattern,
featuring a collection of prints by Lella Boutique for Moda. Shop owner Terri
has photographed her sample with a pot of gorgeous blush tulips. That
certainly makes me long for spring!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

yourself when sewing?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you praise the
pretty fabric you are pressing? Do you let out hoots of laughter or even
exclaim, “YES!” when a block comes together just right? Do you repeat the
cutting instructions to yourself aloud to make sure you’re slicing in
the correct spot?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">I’m not embarrassed to
say that I do all of those things. (I also chew myself out when I make a
mistake, but let’s not dwell on that.) This past weekend I was chatting up a
storm to my own best sewing friend, me, because I was so thrilled to be cutting
and sewing with Lella Boutique’s upcoming collection, Christmas Morning. Here’s
a little peek at my progress:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdaaWV0VACl2QG1QhyphenhyphenQirR5Mz8vo6_8_T-pmAnj7Z0x4p3fTsVUliAGeTsYLmNxkk2EZt61-fFAvJevhnWrkIyy-MG-utP4hcaU0tP49iWErjnQFfZVUcWhe-5IxxvzmqNpSy8Vu9DB4/s2048/CAHD7078.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrdaaWV0VACl2QG1QhyphenhyphenQirR5Mz8vo6_8_T-pmAnj7Z0x4p3fTsVUliAGeTsYLmNxkk2EZt61-fFAvJevhnWrkIyy-MG-utP4hcaU0tP49iWErjnQFfZVUcWhe-5IxxvzmqNpSy8Vu9DB4/w480-h640/CAHD7078.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

Crossed Pines</b></a> pattern, which I originally released in Fig Tree fabrics a

just the right collection to sew a new Star Crossed Pines quilt, and Christmas
Morning ticked all of the boxes for me. This beautiful collection features a
wonderous array of cranberry, sage and silvery gray prints that somehow feel both traditional and contemporary. You will find delicate holly, gorgeous
florals, flirty polka dots, festive text and coordinating stripes. The
collection is scheduled to ship to stores in May. (Click here for <b><u><a href="https://modafabrics.com/webfiles/fcc_christmas-morning.pdf" target="_blank">Moda's

a simple patchwork quilt of five-inch squares for the new granddaughter of a
dear friend. I was tickled to learn that the baby’s mother was using this quilt
to track her daughter’s growth!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each
month she took a photograph of the baby on the patchwork quilt, documenting how
she stretched in length. This was this inspiration for my newest quilt pattern,

<p class="BasicParagraph" style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;">I’ve always loved the
simple beauty of the Hourglass block. The name alone, indicating passing time,
makes it fitting to use in a baby’s growth quilt. In my design, I’ve included
one whimsical climbing vine amid the columns of hourglass blocks, bringing to mind how
quickly our little ones sprout and grow.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

fairly easy. Begin with 8 coordinating fat quarters and then select a green for
the vine, a neutral for the background, and of course the binding and backing.

quilting friends!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today I’m happy to
share a new tutorial with you, the Fat Quarter Lattice Quilt. In December I
shared my <a href="http://carriedawayquilting.blogspot.com/2020/12/lattice-style-quilt-featuring-folktale.html" target="_blank">original version of the quilt</a> with you, promising that I would follow
up with a free tutorial. Armed with some beautiful Holly Taylor prints that I purchased
from <a href="https://loulousfabricshop.com/" target="_blank">LouLou’s Fabric Shop</a>, I was able to make a second quilt, testing my
instructions and taking photographs along the way. I think you will find this to
be a fun and easy project, and one that will look terrific in any fabric
collection you choose! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

combination of floral and geometric prints, as well as the terrific range of
colors, lends a romantic, Bohemian feel. In fact, several of the prints made me
pause and think, “I wish I had a shirt made out of this fabric.” Images sprang
to my mind of pretty Folktale shirts and blouses, paired with faded blue jeans,
leather sandals and gold bangle bracelets. Since I couldn’t sew a garment to
save my life, I did the next best thing and made a quilt using Folktale and
Moda’s Indigo Chambray (<span style="background: white; color: black;">#12051 13</span>).<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgix9hc9RAT6Lhi2YA87SxisMiFp-GvFDYy3eJOtPrpc1pGQvGsjckcR_kOWKt6QKDjpab_Ejh6Y6b-0t5wpMpIWi9hS5qF5zJk7FA8jGYKcKh4x6s0U_uNdcdWYhro12W79ulawgpVkw0/s2048/WKGN4349.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgix9hc9RAT6Lhi2YA87SxisMiFp-GvFDYy3eJOtPrpc1pGQvGsjckcR_kOWKt6QKDjpab_Ejh6Y6b-0t5wpMpIWi9hS5qF5zJk7FA8jGYKcKh4x6s0U_uNdcdWYhro12W79ulawgpVkw0/w480-h640/WKGN4349.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF-yT_02bNjFeTgfh8oa906psRZtTmdv3UGOngYC3pAS2Mg7FIntVtGVli0x1U05L4RMwAvGzo4y9DWnGY-p0GbVpVKgVhKlz0ztiLtxBk52ML__19PHl9duuhF7GsOQ-BvndwlRBgNfA/s2048/XDZK3517.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiF-yT_02bNjFeTgfh8oa906psRZtTmdv3UGOngYC3pAS2Mg7FIntVtGVli0x1U05L4RMwAvGzo4y9DWnGY-p0GbVpVKgVhKlz0ztiLtxBk52ML__19PHl9duuhF7GsOQ-BvndwlRBgNfA/w480-h640/XDZK3517.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><p></p>

graduation quilt</a> for Haley’s boyfriend. When I showed it to my husband, he
asked, “Is that for me?” He knew darn well that it was for Cameron, but I felt
a twinge of guilt. I realized I hadn’t made a quilt just for Brad in several
years. When I told him that I’d make him one for Christmas, he asked for an exact

helped me select this fun “Maze” pattern for Brad’s quilt. I love that it’s
both masculine and a bit whimsical. In fact, when Katy and I texted ideas back
and forth, her sons also voted on their favorite options for Brad’s quilt. Isn’t
it cool that Brad’s quilt was in such great hands? Katy has quilted a few other
projects for me recently, and I can’t wait to show them to you in the coming
weeks.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEher7tMFiOUS_clQ240xTfBhpxQYtlChGtjARNB9yzrs716f1igwGdhRIYohaPNldtzYWdozIZNr_xgeBCHUFGSI2W9FWi2ZzqhKL-LWbxB3pAy_tXanM2WyiNcnDmAj1Go-xppA6oZ17s/s2048/OQUQ7307.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEher7tMFiOUS_clQ240xTfBhpxQYtlChGtjARNB9yzrs716f1igwGdhRIYohaPNldtzYWdozIZNr_xgeBCHUFGSI2W9FWi2ZzqhKL-LWbxB3pAy_tXanM2WyiNcnDmAj1Go-xppA6oZ17s/w480-h640/OQUQ7307.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span><p></p>

by the desire to decorate for the holidays.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t usually pull out my Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving.
But this year is different. We’ve had three snowfalls since the middle of
October.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our extended families won’t be
gathering for Thanksgiving due to the pandemic. I rarely leave the house
anymore. I’m not whining or complaining, I’m just deciding to make the best of
it and give myself a warm hug. As one of my Instagram friends said, “Bring on
the merry!” That’s exactly what I decided to do all around the house, starting with our bedroom.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIlYkuvTHf6e3UejmdMunKXMqX5A9lupHE3tMWCxtbKRrSSNOmCDq-XwX794Kf_Kt0ct6w-0S5GTHZoezDWh6Tbn9utopT-2aGLPrVndwACdpN6JcNOe8He15uwnqd8xBg4FeHhRvrv4U/s2048/POGX9922.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2009" data-original-width="2048" height="628" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIlYkuvTHf6e3UejmdMunKXMqX5A9lupHE3tMWCxtbKRrSSNOmCDq-XwX794Kf_Kt0ct6w-0S5GTHZoezDWh6Tbn9utopT-2aGLPrVndwACdpN6JcNOe8He15uwnqd8xBg4FeHhRvrv4U/w640-h628/POGX9922.JPEG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

bedroom. The carpet is worn and needs to be replaced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The walls could seriously use a fresh coat of
paint. Our furniture is over 25 years old and has survived five moves, as is evident
by several nicks, dings and scratches. But the room is spacious and cozy at the
same time. And when I add in three Christmas quilts and a few other seasonal
touches, it becomes a wonderful haven.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK46w2marWoUlsFb6r8RQkM2__kzEVWi-oHHYmWleMgrv9b_3xnQ750jXMcsEid7XXUbZ33xyWfZ6247hIxv5nAjsCjFnguVI_1RRHO0dNeQ6UucnGnaPufl_Mlr9-y7g3mP6IiUKo8pQ/s2048/QKBE4594.JPEG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhK46w2marWoUlsFb6r8RQkM2__kzEVWi-oHHYmWleMgrv9b_3xnQ750jXMcsEid7XXUbZ33xyWfZ6247hIxv5nAjsCjFnguVI_1RRHO0dNeQ6UucnGnaPufl_Mlr9-y7g3mP6IiUKo8pQ/w480-h640/QKBE4594.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

complain about my early jumpstart for the season. While I was bustling about
the house putting up decorations, Brad was working outside, prepping his ice
house for winter fishing. (If you curious about that, <a href="https://carriedawayquilting.blogspot.com/2020/01/stitching-while-ice-fishing.html" target="_blank">read this post from last year: Stitching while ice fishing</a>.) It will be more than a month before our lake makes
ice thick enough for safe fishing, but like me, Brad is ready to embrace the
season. “Bring on the fish!”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

inspire you to begin making Economy Blocks from your favorite fabrics. My goal
is to make as many blocks as I can with the focal fabric at center. When I run
out of little characters to fussy cut, I will continue to make Economy Blocks
from just the coordinating fabrics until I have enough blocks to make a baby or lap
sized quilt.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

vintage inspired children’s fabrics. They remind me of my favorite children’s
books . . . tender stories of sweet boys and girls finding adventures in their
everyday lives, learning lessons of kindness, honesty, resilience and even

at the center of my blocks is from a Halloween collection by <a href="https://www.belleandboo.com/">Belle and Boo</a>, which is a company based
in England. Besides designing art and fabric, they publish books and create toys,
games, stickers, cards, coloring books, paper dolls and even free downloadable
coloring sheets. I became familiar with Belle and Boo’s fabric collections on
Instagram, through an online fabric shop based in the United Kingdom, <a href="https://rosegardenpatchwork.co.uk/collections/belle-boo-fabrics">Rose Garden
Patchwork</a>. I ordered a half yard of the Halloween fabric and it flew “across
the pond” quite quickly.

been hoarding a jelly roll and some coordinating yardage from Deb Strain’s <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Hearthside

that Deb utilizes in her winter collections. These awesome color choices are fabulous when
combined with the traditional plaids, buffalo checks, deer head motif and other
winter classic elements.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgna_R8zC333kp_qCWvk3NqWPwspp0p_cMxt32S4YezwXbZXcSsOdb5aD21WpqqZ6NGxYzusRKZMgKgunNaBJzCGe53GlsY_c3HVP-gSOH56X82Y53DKuHsNjV_OPeeR7kaeeTqBBc6vvg/s2048/QPHF0468.JPEG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgna_R8zC333kp_qCWvk3NqWPwspp0p_cMxt32S4YezwXbZXcSsOdb5aD21WpqqZ6NGxYzusRKZMgKgunNaBJzCGe53GlsY_c3HVP-gSOH56X82Y53DKuHsNjV_OPeeR7kaeeTqBBc6vvg/w480-h640/QPHF0468.JPEG" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span><p></p>

may be hard to find in stores, since it was released over a year
ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, Deb Strain has a current
winter collection called <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Homegrown Holidays</span></b> that has a very similar look
and feel. She typically comes out with a new winter collection annually. People
often ask me, through email or social media, where they can purchase a kit or
how they can find the fabrics to make a quilt exactly like the one I’m showing.
That isn’t always possible, but I’ll point you in the right direction whenever
I’m able.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
