Christmas is coming, and I have a surprise for you!

Guess what came in the mail today? A package from That Patchwork Place to let me know that Welcome to the North Pole has been reprinted. Yay!


NPCover

This is a happy book! The blocks are easy to personalize and make your own which must be why this book is still well-received even though it was first published in 1997. I am both happy and proud that these designs are as relevant now as they were then. 

That Patchwork Place sent me a new copy of this book and I think that one of you should have it! Leave a comment below and a winner will be chosen randomly on Saturday (9/21/13). Be sure that you either leave your email as part of your comment or check back to see if you won. If I can't find you, I can't contact you to get your shipping address.

In other news, Christmas is coming and I'm not ready :-). More on that as time goes by.

  1. Congrats! I can see why it’s reprinted. I love the variety in the house shapes and the candy canes as both decorative additions to houses and a house itself. Very fun!

  2. There’s no place like home…especially when used in a quilt. I so enjoy your posts which share the ups and downs of running a business while balancing the needs of home and family. Thank you.

  3. So happy to see its back in print! When I had a quilt shop years ago, one of my instructors taught this quilt! The customers had a ball personalizing their quilt. But I was too busy working to make the quilt! Would love to have a copy!

  7. This has long been one of my favorite patterns – I still see it everywhere on pinterest and blogs. I WILL own this someday, lol! It really is the happiest quilt.
    I’m not anywhere near ready for Christmas either. But I’m giving myself a break this year. I recently started selling Avon, so guess what everybody’s getting for Christmas, lol!!! I’m not going to make a thing, oh the relief!

  9. I love the shapes of the houses! The picture puts me in the mood for hot chocolate and mittens. I can almost smell the evergreen! It will be a ‘reach quilt’ for me, but .. Hey… Working outside the comfort zone make you grow! Maybe I will get lucky; my b-day is on the 29th…

  10. Oh what memories, I made this quit for my two youngest grandchildren, it comes out each year when the decorations are brought out, and is the first thing that gets put up, it is kept rolled up so always looks pristine. I personalised it all the family having their own house and business, it was such fun to do. Just love it!! Ann
