Red Feathered Star Quilt Throw

Simple but elegant, the feathered star patchwork pattern is pretty in the single block.

Red Feathered Star Lap Quilt Throw

I can still remember the first time I saw a feathered star quilt. It was hanging at a quilt show, in the back row, without any ribbon, not exactly a reject but not loved, either. The young quilter who had made it was sitting with her mother close by, although I didn't know that at first.

As I made a bee line for the quilt, I told the lady sitting next to the feathered star quilt this was one of my all-time favorite patchwork quilt patterns and I really liked the one she was sitting by. She beamed at the young quilter sitting next to her and I realized then the young woman next to her had made it.

Like most patchwork patterns, the patchwork patterns can take on different designs based on what fabrics are used. In this red feathered star quilt, reds, white and beige fabrics have been used, a basic elegant color palette that makes this design even more beautiful.

Here's the feathered star quilt in a bigger design with the feathered stars together:

Several feathered stars form the center of this red feathered star quilt throw.

Combined with the detailed border with the red stars, this is a lovely throw that will add an elegant touch to any room. I would be tempted to used is a quilted wall hanging so I could enjoy the design whenever I looked at it, wouldn't you?

Holiday Traditions Quilt Throw Wall Hanging

Holiday Traditions Quilt Throw Wall Hanging celebrated the best of the Christmas holiday.

Holiday Traditions Quilt Throw Wall Hanging

What are some of your holiday traditions?

We didn't have too many set in stone but we did keep to a few of the basics: hanging stockings on a mantle, baking cookies, making gingerbread houses, decorating a tree. This brand new, all cotton quilt throw includes some of those traditions, and more.

A snowman keeps a red cardinal company in this traditional Christmas snow scene.

Although we grew up in South America, and a new bathing suit was part of our Christmas gift traditions, we heard about snow. It was the promise of seeing snow that got us excited about our move up north. I still get excited at the prospect of seeing the first snow, don't you?

Hanging stockings from a mantle is another Christmas tradition.

This brand new, imported from India quilt also has a sweet scene of stockings getting hung on a fireplace mantle. To personalize, you could add names, or initials, those are teeny, tiny stockings, almost the size of stockings for mice. And yes, I have a little stocking on my fireplace for the cats, and the Christmas mouse.

In our home, baking cookies was a favorite pastime even when I had stepchildren.

And what is Christmas without gingerbread - houses, cookies, ornaments. Love the smell of gingerbread anything cooking in the oven so was enchanted to find these little gingerbread cookies having fun in another Holiday Traditions quilt block.

What holiday traditions do you have in your family?

Here's an easy way to add a train to your holiday decor without having to set up one train track. Santa Express Quilt Throw Wall Hanging has a little train traveling through the center bordered by train tracts.

Charming applique and embroidered characters are along the way and in the train cars, including this little blond girl with her brown bear dressed for snow - or maybe for bed?

This little blond girl has a nice companion, a teddy bear ready for bed!

One of the charming details of Santa Express Quilt Throw Wall Hanging is the railroad tracks at the bottom and top. 

The brand new, imported throw is made out of multi-patterned cottons in holiday green and red fabrics.

Cute train tracks along the border encourage the train to keep on going.

Christmas trees, presents, snowmen are all along the border of this 50x60-inch lap quilt and throw.

To easily turn this into a wall hanging, Santa Express Quilt Throw Wall Hanging has a sleeve on the back so it can easily give any room a holiday theme. When not in use, the sleeve lays flat on the back and is barely noticeable.

Lap quilt throws are easy ways to change the look of a room either by hanging these quilts or by tossing one over the back of a sofa or easy chair.

Choo Choo!

12 Good Wishes Throw

If there is one throw I give as a housewarming gift, especially this time of year, it's this one. 12 Good Wishes Throw is a charming 50x60-inch lap quilt throw that includes a number of good wishes for the family and home.

Each of the throw blocks has an image, and word, that associates with the wish. A card enclosed with the throw explains each block and wish.

With each 12 Good Wishes Throw, an explanation of the wishes enclosed.

One of my customers who received this as a housewarming gift said it reminder her of a modern version of the 12 Days of Christmas, which is a lovely comparison.

In addition to a well-wishing quilt, this charming throw is a perfect size to hang in a room or entry way to easily add a dash of holiday decor.
