Winter Wishes

Dedicated to my mother, the main feature of this quilting book is the block quilt shown of the cover. Measuring 88" x 100", Winter Wishes features fourteen applique blocks that depict some favorite scenes of the holiday season. In addition to this quilt, our book contains a number of other quilting projects such as wall hangings, placemats, and stitchery designs as well as gift cards and tags for the Christmas holiday. We hope this new quilting book helps you to enjoy the winter months as much as we do here at The Stitch Connection.

When Children Dream

Dedicated to my father, When Children Dream is my first book of quilting projects and what could be more precious than sharing the dreams of our children. Measuring 40" x 56", the quilt can be made for a boy or girl depending on which patterns you choose. While boys may prefer frogs, dinosaurs, trains, and tractors, little girls would rather see dolls, dancing, animals, and dress up. Patterns and directions are also included for a small wall hanging (40" x 44") and pillows as well as how to frame any one of these block designs to create a wall picture for a childs room. Which dream will you quilt?
