Folk art and textiles have proved to maintain an appeal to
audiences for generations for their practicality around the
home as well as the beauty and craftsmanship put into their
art styles. This latest quilting collection was inspired by the
same slanted stitches used in traditional needlepoint work,
but with a fraction of the work and time needed!
Each of the blocks in this collection feature simplistic holiday
designs that will get stitched to look just like the traditional,
multi-ply style right in your home machine. Common
Christmas motifs like ornaments, trees, reindeer, and more
embellish each block in a traditional folk style, making this a
quilting collection to last for many Christmases to come!
NEEDLEPOINT CHRISTMAS QUILT | MINI COLLECTION | 143
FESTIVE AND
FOLKSY
NOTIONS
As with any quilting
collection, you’ll want a
rotary cutter and ruler
handy, as well as some
scissors or snips.
THREADS
A classic Christmas-colored palette is
sure to fit right in with these design motifs.
We incorporated a holiday colorway of
Floriani Polyester Embroidery Threads for
that classic sheen we always love.
FABRICS
Since these blocks get
emblazoned with stitches,
we wanted to replicate the
needlepoint look in the fabric
with a textured linen. Just be
sure to back any fabric choice
with a fusible interfacing!
