Seems strange to use the title “Winter Wonderland” for a post written on Halloween. That is until I look out my window at the 6 inches of snow that still remain on the ground after Saturday night’s nor’easter. Instead of jack-o’-lanterns on my front lawn, I’ve got two snowmen and a snow-manatee (complements of my creative daughter). The snow has me in a winter frame of mind so today I’m going to introduce you to my Winter Wonderland quilt.

Winter Wonderland is a scrappy table runner featuring pine tree borders and snowball blocks in shades of ivory and blue. The simple piecing and big stitch method I used for quilting made this project fast, fun, and easy to create. Good news!
But the best news of all is that this quilt is featured in the American Patchwork & Quilting 2012 Calendar! That’s right, call me “Miss January!” I guess if you’re not exactly calendar girl material, having one of your quilts in a calendar is definitely the next best thing. I’ve gotten a sneak peek at the calendar and it is gorgeous. The quilts and the photography are stunning and the calendar comes with patterns/instructions for each of the featured quilts. Look for the calendar at your favorite quilt shop or, to order, call 1-800-826-4707.
So while it may not officially be winter yet (all evidence to the contrary), it’s never too soon to start a project for your winter table — or to treat yourself to this beautiful calendar.
Oh, and by the way, Happy Halloween!
