Timeless Treasures Pinecones and Poinsettias

Love this panel I now have in.   Timeless Treasures makes their panels look elegant by etching them in gold.

I think this would look pretty with just a border added for a nice wall hanging but I can also picture it cut apart and the larger blocks being used for holiday pillows or smaller wall hangings and the small squares being incorporated into table runners or made into mug rugs.

What other ideas can you come up with?   Be sure and click on the picture to see a larger version.

Starry Night 2 Christmas Panel

After Northcott's success last year with the Christmas Tree Starry Night panels they decided to make a second line for this year with beautiful wreaths.  They do come in three colors, blue, red and green but I selected the red (Cranberry) one to purchase a bolt of.  


If you didn't see the tree panels last year, many people quilted them and then put twinkle lights through button holes they had made in the wall hanging.  Very pretty and different.  Others quilted and used as is or my favorite added hot fix crystals to it.   Any of those options can also be done with this panel.  If I was making it I think I would cut the large snowflakes off top and bottom and make it more of a square wall hanging and then use larger snowflakes in a future project, maybe a table runner to match. 

I also have a coordinating cranberry fabric for backing, binding or whatever.

Stonehenge Celebration

UPS delivered these pretty Stonehenge Celebration patriotic panels by Northcott today.  It would make a great wall hanging for any of the upcoming holidays or use as the center of a patriotic quilt and add borders until you get it the size you want.
