If you are not a member of TQS, this episode will give you an idea of why you might want to consider joining.

Sizzle is the quilt that I spent months designing and making (in 2 colorways!) last year. It is pieced on foundation papers and is a lot easier to make than you might think, as long as you follow the directions!

I made videos of each pertinent step as I made the quilts. It is my sincere hope that the pattern, instructions, and the videos answer any questions you might have during construction.

I look forward to hearing from you as you make your Sizzle quilts!

I’m still on vacation with Elanor in Portland, but I want to share this from Susan Sharp…

In her email, she says ‘I used your pattern to make tree skirts for gifts this Christmas.  They are beautiful.’

I agree with Susan, this is a beautiful tree skirt! And she made more than one!

It’s almost sad to cover it up with presents!

Thank you, Susan, for sharing these with us 🙂

Emily Krysanick emailed this photo of her finished Sampling of Santas. Isn’t it wonderful!!!

She wrote that it took just a little over a year to complete. It is all hand appliqued and hand quilted, with a tad of embroidery and trapunto. She made an amazing quilt! Thank you, Emily, for sharing it with us.

This pattern is in our ebook, A Slice of Christmas. In it you will find other classic Christmas patterns. Now is the time to get started on your next Christmas quilt masterpiece!
