Halloween is such a fun, no responsibility holiday…. just decorations, costumes, and candy!  No big meal to prepare or gifts to wrap…. just ghosts, goblins, and treats!  Here’s a few pattern suggestions to help you with the decorating.

Twister Jack Quilt Kit comes with the pattern and all the fabric needed for the top and the binding.  You just need the batting and the backing – you probably have that laying around your sewing room, right?  This happy Jack-o-Lantern measures 24″ x 26″.

Hang this delightful Welcome Halloween wall hanging on your front porch to let the trick-or-treaters know they are welcome.  Maybe they’ll be so wrapped up in the trick-or-treating ghost that you can sneak in a quick “BOO!” before passing out the treats!

Pumpkin Blossom Babies lets you decorate pumpkins that you can use year after year… no spoilage!  From Bonnie Sullivan of All Through The Night designs, these cute happy pumpkins range in size from 14″ to 20″.  So cute!

Aside from “BOO“, what says Halloween more than a pumpkin and a black cat?!  This 22″ x 17″ pattern can be hand or machine appliqued.

Check out all 16 of the Vintage Autumn designs from Chick-A-Dee Hollow…. adorable!  They are pre-printed and pre-colored 4″ x 5″ designs; you add embroidery and embellishments.  Make a few now, and add to your collection each year.

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you . . . Trick or Treat!

Just 31 days until Christmas!  While some people may want to celebrate Thanksgiving before they think about Christmas, if you are going to make something (or lots of somethings!) for Christmas you need to start now (or last month!).   Our Christmas quilt kits will give you a running start.  With the pattern AND the fabric you’ll be ready to start right away.

Warm woolen mittens and adorable stockings work well as ornaments, as present decorations, or as mini-gift holders.   The Christmas Woolens Complete Kit includes wool felt, embroidery floss and gold string, plus patterns and instrucions.  Easy to make, fun to use, even more fun to give.

Santa and Rudolph will make a great addition to your entryway, welcoming holiday visitors.  The Santa Complete Kit includes EVERYTHING . . . fabric (for the top, back, and binding), batting, buttons, bell, and complete instructions.  All you supply is the thread and the “work”.  Finished wallhanging is 13″ x 15″.

Celebrate The Season is a sampler style quilt that measures 54.5″ x 46.5″.  Piecing, applique, and paper piecing are all part of the process.  The kit includes all the patterns and all the fabric for the quilt top and for the binding.  It’s wintry enough that you can leave it up all season, not just for Christmas.

Skating Party is another Christmas-y quilt that is suitable for the entire winter season.  Starting with a panel from the “Snow Day” fabric line in a blue/sage green/cream color scheme, it will go together quickly.  Simple blocks set on point finish the look.   The kit includes pattern and all the fabric needed for the top and binding.

Browse the rest of the Christmas Quilt Kits.  The kits themselves make great gifts, especially for new quilters.  Or enjoy the construction yourself, and you can gift the finished project . . . if you can part with it!

Debbie Mumm did it again!  She created another colorful, fun collection – this one is all about Santa.

Santa is doing lots of Christmas chores in the panel fabric.  Each image has its own border - either a diagonal stripe or holly leaves with red dots - making it easy to create projects quickly.  You will need to do less piecing and yet will still achieve an interesting look.

Other fabrics in the collection include tone on tone mini dots in red and in green . . . .

. . . . more tone on tone fabrics, this time in black and a lighter green with festive scrolls . . . .

. . . an Ivory background with snowflakes of different sizes . . . . a diagonal stripe in red, green, black, white and ivory . .

. . . . and “Tossed Santas” – he and reindeer and presents are scattered across a scrolly Ivory background.

Now, this fabric is so fun and cheery that you are sure to have something in mind for it, but if you are drawing a blank, or just can’t decide how to use it, there’s a kit available: the Rooftop Santa Quilt Kit.  Using the panel fabric, some green, some red, plus the striped fabric, this lap quilt finishes at 51″ x 64″ and it’s sure to quickly become a family favorite.

>We might not be having fall weather yet, but it is September so we all know that it’s coming.   The summer adventures are behind us and we’re looking ahead to fall activities and holidays.   During the ‘in-between’ you have time to make a wall hanging to dress your home for the season.  Here are just a few suggestions . . . .

This scarecrow looks like he is thinking about job security!  If the farmer sees all the birds hanging around he just might be getting his pink slip, so he’s hollering Shoo!, apparently to no avail.

Nothing says fall like apples and apple picking.  This Apple wall hanging measures 22″ square.   A combination of patchwork and applique, this quilt pattern is also available with fabric: Apple Complete Kit.

Soon we’ll be treated to the annual Autumn Cascade of colorful leaves.  We love to see the colors on the trees, and watch the colorful leaves floating to the ground.  Raking them, well that’s another matter altogether!  Enjoy them on your wall – no raking required!

Book 3 in the Table Topper Series is Fall.  Susan and Mary Jane of The Quilt Branch provide instructions for three fall themed table toppers.  You can make one for each fall month.

This Fall Sampler wallhanging pattern also includes instructions for a scarecrow table runner pattern.  Two patterns in one!

Blueberry Hill….  do you remember Richie singing that song?  Yes, I’m dating myself. Give yourself 10 points if you know what I’m talking about. Anyway, The Blueberry Hill Quilt kit looks prettier than Richie sounded.  

Beautiful Stonehenge Fabrics from Northcott Fabrics by Sunshine Cottage are included in this kit.  The marble-like look of blended colors gives the pattern a rich, soft look.  Included in the kit: the pattern, all the fabric for the quilt top, plus enough fabric for the binding. The backing and batting need to be purchased separately.  You’ll also need an Easy Angle Ruler for this pattern.

If you fall in love with these fabrics you might want to try the queen size Smokey River Quilt Kit which also uses the Stonehenge line.  The kit includes all the fabric needed for the top and binding, and the pattern. 

The American Valor Quilt Kit uses American Valor fabrics by Jo Morton in classic blue, red and off white.  This uncomplicated, star-filled, patriotic design is just the right size for donating to Quilts of Valor.   Or you can make one for your favorite veteran.  Andover Fabrics is donating a portion of all American Valor fabric sales to the Quilts of Valor Foundation.  This kit includes the pattern for the quilt and pillowcase, all fabric needed for the top and pillowcase, plus enough fabric for the binding.  The backing and batting need to be purchased separately.

If you are looking for a quick baby quilt for a gift this summer, it’ll be even quicker if you take advantage of the Sew Ready Creations quilt kits.  Each kit has all the pieces cut for the body of the quilt, the borders (usually an inner border and an outer border), the binding and the backing.  Absolutely no cutting!!!  Just sew!  The instructions are very visual so they are nice and easy to follow.   PLUS, each kit comes with an “Oopsy Repair Kit” just in case you make a mistake.   How cool is that?!

Here’s a few of the kits…
