Is anyone asking you what you want for Christmas?  Are you getting ready to start dropping hints?  Quilt kits are a great item to request.  The non-quilty buyer can actually see what they are getting you and they’ll enjoy the giving even more.  It’s not the same as someone just picking out some fabric to give you (especially if you and the gift giver have a different artistic sense!).  These kits are great and you can start in creating right away.

 Autumn Star Complete Kit will go together quickly enough that you will have plenty of time to enjoy your seasonal wall hanging before Spring is sprung.  You can turn the patches that comprise the center of the quilt and have two alternative layouts.

Do you have any hint of baby showers that will happen in the next few months?  Baby Bear would make a great gift (although you might want to make that frown a smile).  How cool is that?! … you get a gift,  you get to have the enjoyment of making it and then you get the enjoyment of giving the finished wall hanging!  (That’s not re-gifting, is it? – Noooo, can’t be.)

How about a lap quilt. Caddy Corners will measure 72″ square when you are finished.  It’s the first in a series of patterns “Laps from Fats” so if you like it there’s more patterns like it.  You’ll stack your fat quarters & cut them all alike.  This’ll be a quick quilt to make – you’ll be ready to cuddle under it to watch the Super Bowl – or if you’re not a fan, to nap cuddled under it while everyone else watches the game.  Hmm, looks busy enough that you can snack on all the Super Bowl goodies even if you’re not watching and the crumbs won’t show up.

There are lots more kits, so browse away and add a few to your My Favorites list.
