Regina Grewe sent me these photos of her Welcome to the North Pole quilt. Isn’t it lovely! Well done, Regina and thank you for sharing it with us!

She said: “Finished in 2015, made with a little help from my friends a lot of buttons and embellishment was added. It’s a family treasure now.”

This book was first published in 1997 and it is still one of my favorite quilts. The ebook is available here: https://pieceocake.com/collections/christmas-patterns-books/products/welcome-back-to-the-north-pole-digital-download-ebook

Fill your Advent Calendar bags with little surprises! 🎁 In this video, I walk you through how I sorted all the tiny gifts and then tucked them neatly into their numbered bags, ready for December 1. It’s such a fun project to plan and put together, and the finished calendars look so festive, stuffed with presents waiting to be opened day by day!

Show and tell… North Pole Runner!

Many thanks to Lis, who emailed this week to say that she hasn’t started on the Welcome Back To The North Pole quilt yet, but she is making a wall hanging using the table runner design and she shared her progress with me.  It’s not layered and quilted yet. She used needle turn appliqué, reverse needle turn appliqué, mola and broidery perse techniques and she has a bird button to go on the roof.

Don’t you love the batik LIs used in the background?! That dark swirly blue is perfect behind the rest of the applique. Well done Lis and thank you for sharing!

Christine Funk has been working on this quilt for a while (maybe a long while 🤣) and she finally finished! I love her use of color and the borders that she added. Christine also changed up some of the blocks to suit her quilt—nicely done! Thank you, Christine, for sharing your quilt with us!
