Countdown to Christmas! How's your sewing going?





Raise your hand if you're likely to spend some time sewing on Christmas Eve... Me!!! Never mind the fact that I began planning my holiday sewing a year ago, bought fabric back in June, started cutting things out in October... it never fails... in fact it's almost tradition to wait for Santa while stitching up some last minute gifts. So what do you have in the works? Stockings? Ornaments? Christmas Pajamas? QUILTS?... All of the above? My son and I are working to finish a quilt for his best friend. It's the snuggliest Mammoth Flannel throw quilt and he's going to love it! Bonus: my son and I are having a great time sewing. We turn up our playlist, talk about ALL the things and sew the hours away. We might even finish before Christmas Eve! But then what would my sewing machine think if I didn't show up for our traditional Christmas Eve sewing date? Never fear! There's always something that needs a last minute stitch.


Ruby is a pretty little featherweight belonging to our own Shannon White. Isn't she looking festive for the season? If you know Shannon, you know she has a thing for red and white polka dots so this little darling was custom painted just for her! Shannon has kept her machine busy indeed with not one but two darling new Christmas quilts to share.


For the first quilt, Shannon used one of her favorite go-to, quick and easy quilt patterns. 5 & Dime by All Washed Up is fat quarter friendly. The addition of a feature fabric allows you to show off a favorite print in long vertical strips. For her gnome version, Shannon highlights the Gnome-antics collection by local artist, Jennifer Pugh. Mixing in a few Christmas basics like buffalo checks, stars, snowflakes and stripes, Shannon created a generously sized lap quilt that's sure to be a seasonal favorite at the "White House." Our kits include the pattern and fabrics for piecing the 67" x 93" quilt top and the perfect black and white striped binding for $92.99. It's a project so simple, you could have it finished by Christmas!


Gnomes. They're everywhere! We just can't resist them with their stocking hats, round little noses and white-as-snow beards. You'll need a few to go with your new quilt and you can find them hiding around the Quilter's Mercantile just waiting to find their new home. In fact, Shannon has stocked the Merc with all kinds of cute holiday decor and Christmas gift ideas! One of my personal favorites is this adorable set intended to serve cookies and milk to Santa -- peppermint style straw included!


Did you know we carry handmade quilt ladders? Yes, indeed! Norsewood is a local craftsman dedicated to country living at it's best. He uses solid domestic wood that is sustainably sourced. Following the old Norse saying, "Embrace the awesome power of simplicity," Norsewood quilt ladders have a clean, shaker-style feel. They come in several sizes and colors that can be custom made to order through our Quilter's Mercantile. We just so happen to have a few ready to go at the Merc so you can add a bow and find it next to the tree come Christmas morn. The styles shown below are 5.5 feet by 12 inches and run $76 each. They're perfect for tucking into a tight corner to add warmth while displaying your gorgeous quilts.


The quilt hanging on the ladder was pieced by Jen Tanner using a Layer Cake of Jen Kingwell's Low Volume Wovens. If you've ever worked with Moda's silky soft wovens, you know you're in for a treat! They wash beautifully. The Winchester Quilt is a stylishly simple quilt designed by Villla Rosa. We sold out of our first round of kits quickly but will have more available Monday morning. For just $63.99 you'll have a striking neutral lap quit finished at 54" x 72" in no time at all!


The second quilt Shannon has finished up just in time for the season of giving is a unique row quilt from Art Gallery Quilts. Joy to the World is a quilt pattern available as a free pattern download here. It features the Cozy and Magical fabric collection by Maureen Cracknell. A modern holiday color scheme is an unexpected twist to otherwise traditional style. Kits are $129.99 and include the oh-so-popular Cozy and Magical fabrics just as called for in the original pattern. Finished size is 76" x 77." Take a closer look at the delightful Scandinavian style snowflake quilting by Dorene Johnson.
