 Our quilty staff Deborah sewed up some of her favorite blocks from the sampler with the Santa Claus collection to create this joyful wall hanging! Cute right?

    I already have Under the Mistletoe and Holly's Tree Farm and I love love love them both. I also spotted Cold Spell Batiks by Laundry Basket Quilts, Evergreen by BasicGrey and Jingle by Kate Spain. Too many, though to pick a favorite for my favorite holiday.

    I really love Evergreen by Basic Grey and I must have the Grunge fabrics that go with it! I also really like Joy & Wonder by Cori Dantini,
    Kim Diehl's Winter Blessings and Cold Spell Prints and Batiks by Laundry Basket Quilts. I can't believ Christmas is less than 5 months away.

    It is so hard to pick just one. I really love all of Kate Spain's Christmas Fabrics and have Jingle on my wishlist. Close second would be Holly's Tree Farm, in part because of the cute quilt in Winter Wonderland.

    The Evergreen collection appeals to my traditional streak. The Joyeux Noel satisfies my love of French General. And the Frosty Forest would make my son with a raccoon obsession very happy. So many lovelies from which to choose!

    Do I have to pick just one? I like several that are quite different from one another -- Festive Forest by Tamara Kate, Sweetwater's Holly's Tree Farm, Scandi Christmas, Under the Mistletoe by 3 Sisters, and the sweet Winter Wonderland by Heather Rosas. I admit to already having some Holly's Tree Farm in my stash. :-)

    OK, call me crazy, but I would most definitely LOVE to get one of the Christmas fabric grab bags. I am nuts about grab bags and remnant ends of fabric. I love them! I guess because I scrap quilt and paper piece and makes lots of little things those pieces of fabric no one wants to mess with are just my style!
