Embellishing is the best part of any craft or sewing project, right? This book shows seven designs for holiday quilts, wall hangings and home décor items – and each one has that little something extra. From appliqués to rhinestones to flanges, there is always a way to make your work a bit more festive.
Now prairie points are not so much my thing when it comes to quilts, but they sure do look super cute on a quilted Christmas stocking! That’s probably the project I love the most (page 11). The fabric for each point was fussy cut to feature a sweet piece of peppermint candy to make the adorable border on the cuff!
I also really like the Christmas tree pillow on page 28, with its snowflake buttons and a blanket-stitched felt pine tree. The featured appliqué templates are included and all your quiltmaking basics are in the back. Now get out your favorite holiday novelty fabrics and have some holly, jolly fun!
