Hello and happy Friday! I’m excited today to share a little bit more about the Moda Merry Makers Patchwork Quilts and Projects book! I have a lap quilt included in the book and could hardly wait to see what the other Moda designers came up with for this publication! As you will see, there is a little bit of everything included in this great compilation, and you’re sure to find several you want to make now!
The cover is absolutely beautiful! A couple of my favorites are on the cover…I’ll share full photos of them below!
My project is this Gift Wrap Lap Quilt that I made using red and green prints from our The Front Porch, Creekside, and Desert Bloom collections. I had so much fun mixing fabrics from these three groups and love how it turned out!
These holiday pinnies might be my favorite in the whole book. Because I just love how small and cute they are…and the house versions…swoon! Carrie Nelson made these fun pin cushions!
This Gingham Lap Quilt by Corey Yoder is absolutely fabulous too! I might have to make this one just for the sake of how much gingham I grew up with! My Mom and Grandmother both loved gingham and sewed with it quite a bit when I was young!
These Mini Stockings by Joanna Figueroa are a lot of fun, too! Can’t wait to make some of these!
These Christmastide Coasters by Jo Morton are another favorite of mine! A cute little set of four of these would be so fun to make and give!

It’s a tie Christmas cookies and Christmas tree skirts. Although that might change this year I’m also making my first Christmas quilt, so it might end up in a three way tie. Looks like another great book I’m going to have to own.

That’s a hard question – a toss up between ornaments and stockings! You can never have too many ornaments and mini stockings are perfect for small treats and gift cards.

Love to see the ornaments come out again. The other tradition is leaving the tree up as long as possible to offset the dark winter nights.

Misti Creach says
I love to make old fashioned peanut brittle on the stove using a candy thermometer for Christmas gifts. 🙂
Kay Eisaman says
I am always trying to learn new sewing techniques using my computerized sewing machine. So as this new holiday season comes on everyone gets something “home made ” . So sometimes it is a simple runner, mug rugs of individual recipient’s taste pillows ,wall hangings and a throw for someone. I just like learning what all my new machine can do, others are the ones who receive the projects. Thanks, enjoying the day with thread & fabric .
Gwyn Welliver says
I do not have a lot of time to sew right now. My favorite food to make for Christmas is white fruit cake with lots of dried fruit. I make a fantastic fruit cake. 🙂

This book looks delightful! I, too, could find many projects to make inside the covers of this new book. Well, I think my favorite Christmas item to make is Christmas stockings ( I seem to get a new grandchild each year, so I make a new Christmas stocking every year).

My favorite thing to make for Christmas is a stocking! I have made one for each member of our family and they are all different!
