I have been baking Christmas cookies today. My mom wrote a cookbook many years ago with the most excellent sugar cookie recipe. It is the family favorite! The Bow Tie block has been available in MyWebQuilter .com for some time. Because I am in the Christmas spirit, I just recolored it in Christmas colors. The Bow Tie quilt block pattern can be found here . This is an example Bow Tie quilt in the Christmas colors. I have to go put icing on those sugar cookies... Happy quilting! Amber

I am on a roll adding more traditional quilt blocks to www.MyWebQuilter.com . I just added the Lawyer's Puzzle - also known as the Barrister's Block. A 24 block quilt using this block looks like this: You can find the free quilt block pattern here . I love this example of the Lawyer's Puzzle painted on a barn. BTW - Here in the USA there is significance to showing this pattern in green. It is the only green you will have left after paying your lawyer! Happy quilting! Amber

I am making Christmas gifts! Only two weeks left.... My mother-in-law loved this little pillow using nativity buttons when we were shopping earlier this year.....so I made one for her. (I hope she doesn't read this post and spoil the surprise!) My friend, Glenna, created the pattern. She sells the pattern and kits in her shop in Escanaba , MI and on her website . Happy quilting!

I now have a kit available for the Christmas Tree wall hanging mentioned in my previous post. Kits include fabric similar to the picture but not exactly the same. Decorative thread for the garland is included. Kits are $25 and can be purchased on my website ( www.MyWebQuilter.com ) or at Quilts n' Stuff by Glenna .

I am in the Christmas spirit this year! I made a fun, easy Christmas Tree wall hanging. The Christmas Tree garland is recycled fibers that I purchased at the Madison, WI quilt show. I designed the quilt using www.MyWebQuilter.com . MyWebQuilter .com resizes quilt block patterns. This is an example where the larger Christmas Tree quilt blocks are 10 in blocks and the smaller ones in the border are 5 inch blocks. You can find the free quilt pattern at www.MyWebQuilter.com . I am trying to become better at free motion quilting and have been following Leah Day's blog 365 Days of Free Motion Quilting Filler Designs . Here is a detailed picture of the quilting. I used Leah's pine needles in the green border and a modified pine needles on the Christmas trees. I tried McTavishing in the white areas and Leah's Tree Roots pattern in the stars. Happy quilting!

I want to make a donation quilt for breast cancer awareness and was looking for a ribbon quilt block. I wanted a traditional pieced quilt block pattern (not paper pieced) for the ribbon block and couldn't find one. So I designed one. This is a picture of my sample block. (I was just testing the pattern using scraps. I plan to buy new fabric for the donation quilt.) The Ribbon quilt block pattern is available here . I think I will make a quilt combining the Ribbon quilt block with an Irish Chain Quilt Block. Here is a picture from www.MyWebQuilter.com of the quilt pattern I am considering.

My friend Sally has the most beautiful scraps! She is on a mission to reduce her fabric stash so is making scrap quilts. Her latest scrap quilt uses a Sailboat quilt block . It is a simple block and looks fantastic with batik scraps. Happy quilting! Amber
