Hello Friends, I have been waiting for my Christmastide table topper, featured in Fons & Porter’s Easy Quilts Winter 2013, to return to me from the editor. Christmastide will be my second last Christmas project I am sharing with you for 2013.
[image source: http://www.shopfonsandporter.com/product/6357]
This table topper uses the concept of adding fabrics to a single block to make a full quilt, making the block the focus of one’s visual attention.
The fabrics I used for the project are from RJR‘s Claridge Manor. The elegant foliage and berry print fabrics are my favorites.
Quilting is done free-motion using Aurifil Mako Cotton 50 threads over Hobbs Tuscany Silk batting.
Here you see the quilting motif in the quilt center, front and back.
You can purchase the magazine issue here, or here.
You can purchase the digital pattern here.
You can purchase the quilt kit here.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have enjoyed your Christmastide season. Have a lovely week ahead.

I see more pebbles!!! Aren’t they the greatest?????!!!!! I’m using them more and more for filler/accent, too. This is the most gorgeous fabric. I’m going to a couple of quilt shops the end of this week and hope to come across some of it!! Your piecing is a beautiful pattern for this fabric. Hugs…..SSAB

Beautiful quilt! I love your quilting so much as always! The tiny pebbles and swirls are just cute!
I have been following this website for some time now and I really like the changes you have made to this blog. Funny thing I thought I knew what I was talking about before seeing your site but it turns out I am a dummy. Very nice writeup. You really should be thanked way more often than you are.
