Show and Tell: Welcome to the North Pole

Posted on by

Thank you to Kari Hawkins, for sharing your wonderful quilt with us! I love the quilt and the fact that you made it 24 years ago and it is still a holiday favorite. Well done!


Thought you might like to see a few photos of my version of the North Pole quilt. I made it in 2000 as part of our local quilt guild’s Challenge. The Challenge was to make a quilt with fabric change, fabric manipulation and fabric embellishments. This quilt allowed me to do all three just fine!

It also placed in our quilt show the next year. 

My family and friends enjoy seeing this quilt every year during Christmas. It is often put on display at our guild’s Christmas party. I am a member of Heritage Quilters of Huntsville and enjoy making Piece O’ Cake quilts.

Thank you, again, Kari, for sharing your quilt and its story.

And updated version of Welcome to the North Pole is still available as an ebook. Click here to find it.

I know that many of you have made special gifts for your loved ones. How about adding one more thing to personalize that gift in an unique way – Labels by KATM? (I used them on these zippy bags made with KraftTex. The pattern is free.)

We have just a few left of these packs of 10 labels. Louise picked out the “Nana Made It” labels for her prize!

Shirley Ratliff took my Birds in Toyland class, online on Creative Spark and she just finished her quilt! It’s wonderful! Shirley made changes to the original pattern that work great in her quilt AND she finished in time for the holidays!

Shirley wrote:

Had sew much fun making this quilt! Changed it up a bit because I wanted to quilt in the border lights. Love these little birdies! Thanks for your kind words about my quilt. You gave me the confidence to tackle this project and have fun doing it! 

I love knowing that you all love my patterns and that the classes bolster your confidence. Yay! Thank you, Shirley, for your kind words.
