Creative Patchwork Christmas Projects Book: 21 Easy Projects with Full-Size Patterns

There are two ways to decorate your home for Christmas: buy boxes of ornaments just like the rest of the neighborhood, or sew your own. This book is for the latter. Twenty-one Christmas patchwork projects with that palette of vibrant reds and greens that lights up any corner—all with full-size patterns, ready to trace.

What you will sew

Twenty-one easy and fun projects to spread Christmas cheer throughout the house:

• Owls, fir trees, and snowmen
• Garlands and wreaths
• Christmas stockings
• Bows, cushions, and decorative panels
• And many more motifs with color as the star

Who it's for

For quilters who want seasonal projects without complications, and for those who sew more occasionally and are looking for eye-catching results without months of work. All projects are designed to be easy: they are finished quickly and look great, which is exactly what is expected of a Christmas craft.

The technique you'll learn

The book explains in detail fusible appliqué, the star technique for these projects: you cut out the motif, iron it onto the fabric, and secure it with stitching. It is fast, clean, and perfect for the figure designs that fill these pages. Chris Malone also adds tips for reusing each motif in other ways, so a single pattern provides you with several ideas.

How it's structured

Detailed step-by-step instructions and full-size patterns included—no need to enlarge or calculate. Large format (21.5 x 28 cm) so you can work with the book open beside you.

An idea

Choose a motif—an owl, a snowman—and repeat it in various formats: a cushion, a stocking, a hanging ornament. With a single pattern, you can assemble a coordinated set that looks like it was bought in a designer store.
