Christmas in July continues at RQ with new holiday fabrics continuing to find their way on to the store shelves. Newly arrived is Winter Twist by Jason Yenter for In the Beginning Fabric. The focus of this collection is the beautiful border stripe featuring red (or white) poinsettia clusters. The border stripe is used in the Winter Twist Quilt Kit (seen above) as well as smaller projects such as a tree skirt, table runner, and wall hanging. Winter Twist Quilt Book is available separately and even has a couple holiday recipes! Red and green coordinates help support the border stripe and large poinsettia focus print.
Ready for a "modern" Christmas this year?!? How fun are these winter holiday critters from Tula Pink. Holiday Homies is her first holiday collection and we are excited to have it available at RQ. The reindeer wears a monocle while the dog sports a "Rudolph" red nose; where else will you find fun prints like this? If you're a little more traditional, Tula PInk has included some great woodgrain prints and some cute tiny candy and reindeer coordinates for you. NOTE: Please be sure to read our description online. Some of the colors in the photos are not true to how the fabric actually looks. Any questions, just ask!
Snow Much Fun by Deb Strain for Moda Fabrics is a must have winter collection. Traditional holiday colors are accented with a pop of aqua and blue. Snowmen, snowflakes, cardinals, holly, words, and houndstooth are a few of the available prints. There are two kits available using the Snow Much Fun fabric: an appliqued snowman table runner or an ornament themed quilt made using jelly rolls. Don't forget to take a peek at the panel showcasing two large snowmen which would make lovely wall hangings on their own!
