Popular Patchwork - December 2017

في هذه القضية

With Christmas looming (along with our stress levels) embarking on a new quilt project is possibly not at the top of your to-do list! However, if like me gifts, accessories and decorations are pretty high up the list, don’t miss this fabulously festive issue! Packed with a whopping 25 makes, you’ll have Christmas sewn up in no time.
For some traditional nostalgia adorn your fireplace with the Gingerbread garland, dress your tree with our Dainty decorations and keep the little ones happy with our simply gorgeous Advent calendars. For gifts, we have the Pretty pouches- perfect for the gals, a gorgeous Patchwork bordered blanket and the Hyggelig hot water bottle cover to name but a few! The Nordic Christmas stocking is definitely one for all the family and for a stunning alternative to wrapping paper, we have All that glimmers - a beautiful design for some patchwork wrapping cloths. With too many makes to mention, the December issue is a seasonal must-have!
