SEW YOURSELF A MERRY
LITTLE CHRISTMAS
“We Wish you a Merry Christmas, We Wish you a Merry Christmas,
We Wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”
December 6-8th, 2019 Mother Daughter Friend Quilt Camp
Pretty soon your home will start to look a lot like Christmas—twinkling lights, mistletoe, stockings hung by the chimney with care, jars of candy canes, and piles of Christmas cards with greetings from friends and family. Christmas carols playing on the radio will make you want to sing along, as you bake those special holiday treats. How about the annual family tradition to jump in the truck, chop down the ‘perfect tree’ and bring it home to trim! That might call for some hot chocolate and egg nog! With Christmas drawing near, you might find a wish list or two, written in crayon for a new bike, a doll house, a scooter, or a date night coupon. Do you remember secret night time workshops, where you stayed up late, creating, sewing, painting, and then getting excited to put the perfect handmade gift under the Christmas tree? Do you remember coming down stairs Christmas morning, and thinking the whole living room looks like a scene out of the Sears Wish book? It’s time to let the holiday festivities begin. “Joy to the World!” Here is your invitation to come celebrate this joyous season with your family and friends at Mother, Daughter, Friend Quilt Camp. We can’t wait to share the weekend and some fun patterns and projects with you; let’s bring some sparkle and festive decorations to our homes. As we gather to quilt, you might notice a subtle change as you create something beautiful for your loved ones. You are giving of yourself and your time, to make the world a little softer, kinder, sweeter place to be. Our hope for you this blessed season is a stockpile of little wishes come true for joy, hope, peace, love, precious family time and beautiful quilts!
Over the river and through the woods to Camp Tecumseh Quilt Camp you will go...maybe with a plate of your favorite homemade Christmas cookies on your lap! Hope they make it all the way to camp! You are welcome to arrive any time on Friday to check in. You can settle into your room at the Leadership Center, plug in your sewing machine, get a hot cup of cocoa, and start creating! Early birds may begin arriving any time after 10:00 am on Thursday, December 5th. There will be a continental breakfast for early bird campers on Friday morning. Dinner will be served at 6:00 pm on Friday evening for all campers which will be followed by the “official” welcome and introductions. Nancy J will have her wonderful quilt shop set up in the lobby with books, patterns, fabric, and quilt supplies for round-the-clock shopping fun! A hearty helping of Camp Tecumseh holiday cheer is waiting for you at camp. The Hot Chocolate Club, for kiddos age 8 or 3rd grade and older, will be meeting once again during December Quilt Camp. Hooray for hot chocolate with marshmallows, games, cool Christmas crafts, movie night, and the Amazing Quilt Camp Race!
Color photos of the projects may be viewed on our web site: www.camptecumseh.org.
Come say “hello” and join the Camp Tecumseh Quilt Camp group on Facebook too!
Sew Yourself a Merry Little Christmas – Mary Hertel invites you to enjoy a winter wonderland of whimsical paper pieced blocks that will make you smile as you create and celebrate the most festive season of the year! The book is designed for the paper piecing beginner, so you can easily add the fabric pieces in numerical order, and “sew by number”. The 16 adorable, interchangeable patterns can be used to make a table topper, tree skirt, stocking, table runner, placemat, mug rug, pot holder and gift sack. You are getting a sneak peek at the cutest centerpieces that we will have on the tables at camp. Lunch Hour Patchwork –We love this little book that has the nicest collection of 15 small, charming, easy to start (and finish) projects like a pot holder, tote bag, table topper, pillow, wall hanging, table runner, wristlet, and coasters. We chose to make the adorable Tiny Trees Mini-Quilt (18” x 18”), “O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree how lovely are your branches” and the Fence Posts Table Runner (18” x 50”), with easy rail fence blocks. Little Wallet – By Valori Wells. 4 ¾” x 3 3/8”. Two fat quarters are all you need to create this sweet little wallet for yourself or to give as a gift to your teacher, friend, or neighbor. Use it every day for quick access to your ID, credit card, a little cash, or a gift card.
Charming Charlie from Primrose Cottage Quilts is a charm pack friendly quilt that can be made in 3 sizes. A sweet pattern that you and your daughter will have fun creating together. Collect a charm pack or two, or let her “dash through your stash” for her favorite scraps and fat quarters, then add a bit of background yardage and border fabric and she will have a quilt to treasure for years to come.
Flowers in the Sunshine- by Sweet Jane’s, is a pretty 41” x 49” little quilt that will bring a lot of comfort and joy! Charm packs, fat quarters, layer cakes, or scraps can be combined to make this quick, easy, fun to make project. You could easily decide to make it bigger or you could grab two more charm packs to make another one of these adorable cuddly quilts. You can let your holiday quilt come to life with twinkling stars, candy canes, bells, bows, and ribbons from a classic Christmas palette of red, vanilla, and pine, or add a wintery mix of snowman prints and patterns.
Bench Buddies- September, October, November and December by KimberBell . From the splendor of autumn to the joy filled Christmas holiday, the collection of bench buddies will create a warm welcome for the greatest season of celebration! This petite pillow series has two designs for each month that fit 8” square or 9 ½” x 51/2” rectangle pillow forms. Thanksgiving and Christmas traditions are such a big part of what makes the holidays special…caroling, sending cards to loved ones, preparing delicious meals for gatherings around your table and of course, cutting down and trimming your tree. Fa la la la la la la…the little Christmas tree pillow is a “must have” decoration.
Christmas Jars from the Pattern Basket. This eye catching table runner, 15” x 38” will definitely become a holiday favorite. Sweet, simple, adorable, festive…....It will shout “Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas” as family and guests join you in your home for fun and fellowship!
Mini- Charm Quilts, 18 Clever Projects for 2 ½” Squares. This Moda All-Stars book claims: Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.. Small quilts are so fun to sew! Let the mini making begin! So often we find it is the little things that matter most and make the difference between a good day and a great day. If you haven’t seen or used the scrumptious little candy squares yet, now is the perfect time to start. Select one, two, or three packs (each pack has 42, 2 ½” squares) and choose any one of these delightful projects. We chose the Four Patch Chain, but have our eyes on Peppermint Lane, and Tulip Time. Just a little P.S.- royalties from this book will be donated to LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs. The group’s mission says “A dog is a friend who brings a calming influence, allowing people to open up their hearts and receive help for what is affecting them.” Specially trained dogs visit disaster locations, community events, and care facilities around the U.S. wearing their “Please Pet Me” vests- offering comfort where words often fail.
Vintage Christmas, Lori Holt. We are invited to step into Lori Holt’s scrappy happy vintage world this Christmas season with her new quilt blocks and 17 projects. There are 42 adorable traditional and one-of-a-kind blocks that are available in both 6” and 12” sizes. This inspirational book includes a Vintage Christmas Sampler, table runners, pillows, placemats, mug mats and so much more. Find just the right blocks and settings that capture your own holiday memories and traditions, sew them together, and you will truly warm the hearts of those you love with this message of what Christmas means to you! There are so many to choose from but we were excited to start with the whimsical snowmen and the toy train.
Merry Makers, Patchwork Quilts and Projects To Celebrate The Season. In this festive holiday book, we are invited to deck the halls with the Moda All-Stars 15 handmade gifts to give or keep. We chose to make the Special Delivery Gift-Card Holder, and the Vintage Star Runner (17” x 42”). Next up? Maybe the Wool Snowman Door Hanging, Christmas Coasters, or the Mini Stockings. A fun part of this book is the chance to learn about the favorite seasonal traditions of the All-Stars in a series of Q& As.
Moda Candy Squares , Oh So Sweet! This cute little booklet includes 18 projects featuring 2 ½” candy squares. We made Simply Color, 14” x 16”.
Modern Mini Squares This easily pieced pattern, will make the perfect baby quilt with one mini charm pack or scraps. It measures 44” by 50”. Easy to piece, easy to enjoy! Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, This digital panel decorated with poinsettias and pine, is written in cursive. It measures 56” x 74” and would be an absolutely beautiful addition to your holiday decor. Find the perfect backing and binding and you will have a quilt ready to share with family and friends.
