Looking for the Christmas story of Christ’s birth in applique; would like to have patterna that will make seceral small quilts or one large for the story.Thank You ,C.P.
Hi Carol. That’s not something I’ve seen or feel talented enough to tackle! Perhaps it can be adapted from one or more of the large painting’s that are found in stores. Someone on our forum might have an idea. Just follow the red “forums” link in the left column, past the “buyer’s guide.”
would love to see some ideas for quilted postcards with a Christmas theme; they are all my club is doing and it would be great to send Christmas postcards.
Debi, that is actually near the top of my list. I’ve been working on a book project that’s (YAY) almost finished. After that I’ll have all kinds of things to get online. Postcards are a priority.
How about some for Hanukkah.
Thanks
I like Debi’s idea of the quilted postcards, but these could be adapted to Christmas Cards so some ideas and suggestions would be very welcome.
I would like to make light weight lap quilts with the Christmas theme for my shut in friends. Thanks!
Christmas lap quilt
Chanukkah, or any other Jewish patterns would be great. They are hard to come by and there are many, many of us out here who are looking far and wide for them. I noticed you made no response to Rita’s comment (#5 above), but she is certainly not alone. Thanks for any help you can give us.
I’m looking for something very clever and different that would be quick to make for Christmas bazaar. Something that could be mass produced and people would buy because they hadn’t seen it before and were intriqued with the design.
Hey Rita and Sandi–I’d definitely do something for Chanukkah, but I need a bit of guidance from that. What’s appropriate–what’s not? What types of things are best? You can put ideas here or send me an email. quilting.guide@about.com
On the lap quilts—one version is pretty much handled. I showed my co-owner at the fudge shop/realty business how to make something last week and I think you’ll like it. I’m finishing up a book project right now (and it’s About the site, so watch for that next year) and will get the pattern online before the weekend.
I like to give small wall hangings. These projects seem to be alot harder to find.
Small quilts, 20 x 20 or less! Would love some new ideas for Christmas or Winter.
I would also like to see small projects I could make for our bazaar. They could be worked on all year. You were going to make a tote bag. Small wall hangings interest me too.
There’s a small quilt pattern online that might work for Christmas by changing its theme. It’s called Walk Around the Block and has a pictorial panel in the center surrounded by easy nine patch and bar blocks. The little Attic Windows quilt might work too–with holiday prints in the windows. And A Joyous Celebration would go together easily. My example has Christmas prints.
Ditto Rita and Sandi. For my inspiration, I use the word Judica to search for appropriate web sites.
OK so I am a smart ________. Spell judiaca.
How about the 12 Days of Christmas paper piece or applique that could be on a tree skirt, quilt, or wall hanging.
wall hangings with foundation piecing.
I would like to see something on quilted postcards also. A program on public television had a show on them & I missed it. I would like to do something special for my family members & friends instead of a just a paper card. Maybe one that could be used as an ornament or something that makes it usable time & again.
I am looking for a quilted Christmas card holder. Any suggestions?
Looking for quilted coasters as gifts and bazaar items. Pattern? What do you put inside so the glass doesn’t sweat on to the table.
I am interested in small gift items.
I have searched all over for a christmas stocking quilt pattern (something with an appliqued reindeer, gingerbread man, snowman, santa, angel,etc.). The only thing I have found are a view that are very formal. I’m am looking for something cute.
Would like a really pretty poinsettia and candle wallhanging. Something that added crystals would spark up.
Like this site. Dotti for smaller items for gifts and bazaar items. More wall hangings and lap quilts.
Ditto for the wall hangings and smaller bazaar items and gifts for friends and lap quilt. Love this site.
As others have mentioned, I would like small Christmas/Holiday Wall Hangings or other small quilted projects. I prefer something sophisticated in design and/or technique.
I have 31 great grandkids. Their is a lot of things to make for girls, but I need something for my boys. Any ideas
Would love some postcard ideas,
especially using thread painting???
would like some quick items for craft show in November prefer items for the home
A ragged edge christmas tree pattern
or a ragged edge star pattern
I’D LIKE A SIMPLE CHRISTMAS WALL HANGING – APPLIQUE SCENE – OR NATIVITY OR SNOWMEN AND TREES – SOMETHING EASY
Hello, I’d like to see laps quilts, using flannel, using simple blocks, that are no wider than WOF, so that the back does not have to be peiced. Thanks.
I would love to have a pattern for father Christmas or a standing angel. Also a wall quilt about the birth of our savior
Small gifts to make for everyone.
Number 30 about said it, what do you even buy let alone make for boys.
I’m looking for small wall quilts too. But they’d have to be real simple and quick considering that I’m working on one lap and one full size quilt right now for Christmas giving. The rest of the relatives will get small wall hangings this year.
Ditto to #26 & # 27 just learning patchworking
I would like to have patterns for wall hangings — small and large.
Looks like I have a busy year ahead—I know I’ll get to some of these in October and November, but I’ll definitely work on others throughout the year so that we have a good choice of patterns all the time. I really do appreciate all of the votes and the comments. They help me know which directions to go first.
I love to make smaller sized redwork banners! I have good luck in just using online coloring book pictures related to Christmas. I make these for office co-workers- smaller sized for us cubicle dwellers works best. I work on these periodically throughout the year and find I can get a lot done on my daily bus commute.
Thank you for asking. As a novice to all of this, I would like smaller, but easier items to make, perhaps with printed panels, as wall hangings, table mats and postcards. Asking too much?
How about some quick and fun Christmas Stockings?
I have been hunting all year for a tree skirt that looks like stained glass. Sometimes the traditional patterns represent the holidays better.
thanks sue
How about some coasters?
Small items such as eye glass holder or cell phone holder, pocket size tissue holder..something utilitarian but easy to do.
Would like to see a simple Christmas themed welcome panel to make as a gift. I made an autumn themed one…about 12 or 14″ by 20 – 24″ that was very well received. Sure would like one to make for Christmas. Thanks!
I would love to see either a whimsical Christmas pillow or wall hanging.
I would like to see something whaimsical with angels, santas or reindeer, this would be fun.
I ewould like to see patterns for pot holders or a kitchen mitt – with specifixc instructins on how or which batting is best to use for insulation. Thank you!
I would like a pattern for scrappy christmas stockings.
I would like patterns for Christmas cards and postcards and small wall hangings too.
Christmas cards and postcards would be great.
Have you tried “Adoration Quilts” by Rachel W. N. Brown? It has several quilt ideas, all on the birth of Christ. Ex: angels table runner, Wise Men lap quilt, Nativity/stable mantel piece and more. I am planning to use the mantel piece quilt for my church. Good quilting!
I’m looking for kitchen motifs with days of the week and Christmas designs.
I really have a thing for nativities. Is there any patterns I could get or an website that I could go to find a Nativity quilt pattern? I made one myself by drawing up all the pieces and using two way fusible webbing.
Carol, I found a pattern book “Christmas Star in Stained Glass
by Brenda Henning for Bear Paw Productions” It has an awesome pattern. I’m considering buying it myself.
Christmas Card holder
Years ago I saw a Christmas tree skirt pattern that I now wish I had bought. It was a stained glass nativity scene, complete with the angels, manger, baby Jesus & parents, animals, kings, shepherds, etc. that wrapped around all the way around tree. Has anyone seen it or did I dream it up?
I want a 4′ angel doll pattern to make an angel. I have a frame but need pattern for her robe, the face and her hair. My neighbors and I do Christmas projects together so we are interested in all unique gift ideas. Last year we made Santas…Huge success.. Thank you.. Sandra McCormick
I would like to see some pretty wall hanging patterns – I love Santas!
