Get started now on Halloween items and you’ll have a spectacularly spooky holiday.

Thirteen Spooky Ornaments can be used to decorate a “tree” or hang them on a ribbon and make spooky garland. Or scatter them about the room on different tables. These penny rug ornaments finish at 3″ x 4″ and could also be used as party favors.

It’s party time and these Dancing Witches are ready! You’ll use paper piecing and fusible applique to create this wallhanging.  And of course, the witches have a caldron and several cats – wouldn’t be real witches without ‘em. Looks like the witch on a broom is going to crash the party!

This friendly looking witch has her own carved pumpkin.  The pumpkin looks more friendly than scary too.  Straddling Witch has lots of Straddling cousins that you can make.  Keep a spot on a wall for a Straddling wall hanging and change it for each occasion and season.

Everyone needs someone to love.  This whimsical wall hanging shows some Pumpkin Love.  Fusible applique and reverse fusible applique are used to create this 30″ x 40″ project.

Pumpkin Garden is perfect for Halloween but you can use it all fall.  Finishes at 36″ x 36″ so you can hang it on a wall or use it as a table topper.  Just the right size to toss over a little one in a stroller who is out with the older siblings trick-or-treating.

These are just a few of your options.  Check out so many more Halloween patterns at Quilters Warehouse.

Kathie has a full line of purses that you can make and they each have a unique PURSEsonality.  All of her purses use the KK handles but you’ll only need one set – they are reuseable – just pop them in the purse you are currently using.

 If you’ve never made one before you could start with My Fall Purse.  Use tone on tone fall color fabrics or go all out and use themed fabrics.  Either way, the leaves and pumpkins will ‘fall’ into place and help you step out in autumn style.

Apple Basket is another fall themed purse. Take it with you when you go apple picking! Or to shop at the Farmer’s Market.

 Then get a head start on your winter PURSEsonality with Snowman In The Woods.   Isn’t he a cheery looking guy?  But we’re not going to see snow for a looooonnnng time.  Really!  Hopefully we can be as cheerful about it when it does come!

That’s just a few of the purses. But there was mention of six-packs.  No, not beer!  Six Pack Mini Quilts are Kathie’s own Kreation.  Six traditional six inch blocks are the focus of these quilts.  They are each surrounded in a Kreative way and tah dah! – you have a charming mini quilt.

Ohio Star has a dramatic, patriotic look to it.  This quilt finishes at 30″ x 42″.

Sister’s Choice would look great in Christmas fabrics.  It’s a perfect little wallhanging size to decorate for the season.

Kathie’s Kreations has several more purses and six pack mini quilts.  She also has several placemats and table runners.  Enjoy!

If you enjoy decorating your home seasonally it’s almost time to make the switch to fall.  You can browse the quilt patterns at Quilters Warehouse for a large selection, but here are a few to get you started.

Throw Scattered Leaves across your family room couch and you’ll be on your way to transforming your home to an autumn theme.  Look at the way the stripes in the border end with the same color in the corners!  Very pretty!

Fall Splendor features gently falling leaves on a pieced background.  This quilt is easy to make and finishes at 56″ square.  AND this one is on sale!  Only $5.06!!!

It wouldn’t be fall without pumpkins. So put Pumpkins All Around the house.  Instructions for a table runner, wall hanging and candle mat.

Find the perfect spot for this bright wall hanging and you can observe the passing seasons all year.  A Parade of Seasons – Fall is just the start . . . of course there is one for each season.  This pattern is by Helen Thorn of Pine Tree Lodge so you know the instructions will be easy to follow.

Do you need paper near the phone? Or near the computer to jot down the patterns you like?  Here’s a Straddling Scarecrow Notepad all ready for your scribbling.

Fall Glory is a pair of fall quilts.  Two different patterns but they compliment each other.  The large one finishes at 54″ x 67.5″ and the small one is 48″ x 59.5″.  One for the wall and one for the couch.  Or one for “papa bear” and one for “mama bear”. 

These are just a few of the many seasonal patterns available.  But don’t too long choosing – fall will be here before you know it!

By July we’re far enough away from last Christmas to start thinking Christmas again.  And far enough away from the next Christmas that we believe if we start now we’ll be ready when the holiday arrives.  How does the saying go?  Hope springs eternal!  One of these years we will be ready early and not have to rush to finish.  But then would it really seem like Christmas?

So, while we’re in the midst of the summer heat, this is a good time to find some quilt patterns and select some Christmas fabric and start sewing.

These snowmen are adorable..  You can use this fabric for borders. If you are making a set of items (like a table runner, a lap quilt and a wall hanging) all for the same room, wouldn’t they look great if you used a different section of this Black Snowflakes fabric on each one.

This Log Cabin Christmas pattern has instructions for a mantle scarf (with a decidely different flair!), placemats & a table runner.

Try this pattern (Winter’s Stars) with your favorite large print Christmas fabric – maybe some poinsettias.  Or change the color way and use snowflakes in the large squares and make the stars in blues and and whites and golds

Six Halves Makes A Whole Chrismas will keep you busy well past the end  of July!  There are patterns for six different projects (each using 6 half yard cuts of fabric) including stockings, a tree skirt, pillow shams and lap quilts.  If you choose your fabric carefully, the lap quilts will be able to stay out for the entire winter season and not just for Christmas.  Or, better yet, make one in very Christmassy fabric and one in blues and whites and greys.

There are dozens of Christmas patterns specifically for Christmas and then there are hundreds of other quilt patterns that you can turn into Christmas patterns by using Christmas fabric.  Have fun and Merry Christmas (in July)!

In some places the earliest flowers are beginning to show their beautiful faces.  If they aren’t showing up in your garden, or if you want them indoors find a quilt pattern with your favorites.

The sunny blossoms of Daffidil Dreams will surely brighten your day and any wall that you choose to hang in on.  The instructions include both hand and machine applique methods for the daffodils and the leaves and stems.

How about a tea party to celebrate Spring’s arrival.  Adorable kitty teapots sit with a vase of daffodils in China Kit Tea Party. 

Holiday Table Runners has Tulips for Spring.  And when you complete the Tulips you can get a head start on the other seasons.  These would make great gifts, wouldn’t they?

Wow! A whole field of tulips!  Dutch Tulips pairs Tulip blocks with Dutchman’s Puzzle blocks to make this beautiful arrangement.

Time for a walk . . . you can stroll down Primrose Lane.  There’s quite a lot of variety in this quilt.  You certainly won’t get bored making this one and you might even learn something new!

Spring Is Wild is a collections of Spring Flowers:  Phlox, Verbena, Violet, Primrose, & Morning Glory.  These flowers bloom with needle-turned dimensional applique, embroidery and fabric paint.  Scatter the finished blocks through a quilt and you’ll have an entire garden of beautiful Spring flowers.
