I’m 73years old and for my First Christmas my mother bought a little doll and dressed it as a fairy. I still have it and it’s still very pretty when we use it every year. When I was born, in 1950, Britain was still recovering from WWII and fabric was rationed. My little fairy’s dress is made from white parachute silk.
What a beautiful story to share with us. Thank you! I’m also 73 and the only thing I have from my youth is my big doll with the sleeping eyes and I was 9 y.o.
Great show of kits and fabric, Fran and Hannah. My favorite Christmas memory is collecting ornaments with my two children when they were very small. Each year we would pick out a new ornament for each one. I would put the year on the ornaments so the following years when we put out the ornaments again and so on and so on. The children could see the previous years on their ornaments. This was so much fun we would make a whole day of it going out to pick out ornaments.Also buying Christmas wrapping ribbon and bows. Then I would let each one of my children wrap a gift from them to the other sibling. And put it under the tree to start out the decorating of the Christmas tree.
I used to put up two trees one was the kids tree that they had all plastic ornaments and the rest were the ornaments they made. The second tree is entirely blown glass food and beverage ornaments that gets added to every year! When the kids grew up they took parts of their own tree as being ornaments for their own home.
I'm a holiday decorating fanatic! My trees have sported all white, all green, all blue, all red, all gold, all orange, all teal and all purple! Yes, I have boxes of decorations!
I love Moda Grunge fabric. It brings so much dimension and interest to basic fabric. I love to pair it with bold prints like Tula Pink and Kaffe Fasset. This Gold Star fabric is great!
Guess which book I just discovered is not in my collection, but will quickly remedy ... the Quilts on the Double! Thanks for showing how we can make ALL of the Fabric Cafe patterns very special holiday quilts! Love it!!!
Thank you so much for introducing me to your beautiful holly tree quilt. It is perfect for my contribution to our holiday fundraising draw. Just bought the Frosted Forest pattern! So eager to get started!🪡🌲
Ive got my 1st Chritstmas quilt all cut out and ready to sew. I make my kids a special ornament every year, so it;s fun to see the "evolution" of my crafting trends and the ornaments always reflect what the kids were into during that year. These ornaments always tend to be the kids favorites!
Love your beautiful Christmas quilts presentations! Can you please do a show with fun Halloween quilts and patterns? Looking forward to the fall weather and fall quilts too! ❤
We suggest 12 yards of fabric for a queen/king quilt top using one of our patterns. The general idea is to continue making additional blocks to create more rows and columns until you get the desired size needed. 🥰
I like the Shoo Fly block a lot, and made your Heartland pattern using Halloween fabric. I love the way it turned out, and it was quick and easy to make. Thanks for the great videos.
I agree. I wonder if something can be done to cool it down? Maybe there is a way suggested online. If you can't fix ir maybe Mike and Patty can try it out to see if they like it.
I know this has been asked numerous times before, please fold back the quilt to show the backing. We are all curious about the choices. Heartland is my next pattern. Thank you
I have the Winter Blloms kit and the fabric is beautiful. I don't remember what pattern it was shown in when I bought it because I have had it for a while.
Love the Christmas colors and designed. The bolts of material in the back ground are exactly what I look for.do you have a catalog to order by I need to build a stash of yards cake patterns and Jellyrolls material.please let me know something. Thanks
Hannah will you have a new Halloween quilt tutorial or new Halloween fabric prints video soon? I'm anxious to make some Halloween throws for my nephew and niece. ❤ I love 3 Yard Quilts !
Half rectangles are not my favorite. I’ve made the Christmas tree pattern and the other half rectangle pattern (can remember name). But I’m not giving up.

You are the happiest, most enthusiastic quilting company on the internet! You bring so much joy everytime you post a new video.
I used to make one Christmas quilt a year. I stopped a few years ago. But, with the 3 yard quilt patterns, I'm back in business. Thanks!

Trees look great in half rectangles. ❤

Love that christmas tree pattern. All very lovely quilts.

Have made the Christmas Tree pattern as table runner. Worked out great!
Love that vintage Xmas fabric and pattern. My favorite colors for Xmas, other than red and green, is silver and blue.
Thank you so much for introducing me to your beautiful holly tree quilt. It is perfect for my contribution to our holiday fundraising draw. Just bought the Frosted Forest pattern! So eager to get started!🪡🌲
So glad we had a pattern that will work for you! Good luck with the fundraiser 🥰
Enjoy Hanna’s presentations. Always makes it interesting without too much fanfare!!

My favorite colors for Christmas are blue, silver and white. Second choices are traditional red and green ❤

Oh, that would be so nice to have the patterns in a more traditional queen size. I could use help with the math. Thank you.

Never tried the half triangles😋
What a fun video ladies! Love Christmas 🎄 and your joyful presentation of the quilts was spot on! Thank you😊🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
I’m working on a quilt for my dog
I have the Winter Blloms kit and the fabric is beautiful. I don't remember what pattern it was shown in when I bought it because I have had it for a while.
Love the video. Fran, I love your blouse/shirt! I would like to find a fabric like that.

I go more for purples. golds and/or silver
I haven't been brave enough to try the half triangles!
good work saty content with me
Fran and Hanna, if I use flannel for the backing, do I use batting in the middle? Thank you!
If you put flannel on the back do you still use batting?
Christmas= purple/gold
For me, it's lime green and hot pink - a twist on traditional dark green and red.
No purple tree for me. But I sure do like all your quilts.
❤❤❤
How much yardage is needed for a 3 yard quilt?
❤
How do I order one of these kits?
No purple Christmas trees for me!!!
Weird… Penguin party #3 fabric looks more orange than red on Samsung TV and iPhone screen.
Why half rectangles when there are such simple ways to make triangles in squares?
Half rectangles are not my favorite. I’ve made the Christmas tree pattern and the other half rectangle pattern (can remember name). But I’m not giving up.
No purple...just classic colors.
