Quilters Think Christmas Thoughts in July

]]>        Quilters thoughts often turn to Christmas projects by July, if they haven’t before that.  I’ve been receiving messages, in the various newsletters and e-mail notices I’ve subscribed to, about the Christmas fabrics and patterns available in quilting shops and online ones, too.Christmas in July, around July 26, has become a tradition with many people, most frequently in the shopping and marketing realm.  So this is the day the Arts and Design channel has chosen  to feature a Christmas theme.

Some of the places where I’ve found Christmas fabrics and ideas for quilters and fabric artists:

The Christmas Cloth Store handles solely Christmas and holiday related fabrics.  They carry a wide variety of items for your Chrismas sewing and quiltmaking.

Free Christmas Quilt & Block Patterns from Bella Online presented by Kim Noblin.

Christmas Quilts & Accessories at Quilts.About.com presented by Janet Wickell.

Snowy River Quilts has some interesting Christmas fabrics in their store, including “Countdown To Christmas” and “Christmas Past.”

There also are delightful books about quilting and Christmas:

The Christmas Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini , one of my favorite quilting fiction writers, comes to mind.  It’s a story from her Elm Creek Quilters series.

The Christmas Memory Quilt, written by Kimberly Webb and illustrated by Jennifer Gaskin, will be released soon…a story for children about quilting and Christmas and memories.

If you have favorite places to shop for your Christmas supplies and patterns, let me know and I’ll post it here.  Do you have any special Christmas in July projects you’re making?
