Christmas Quilting by Annie's Quilting
Create a quilted masterpiece that will stand the test of time. These gorgeous projects are just what you're looking for to add that special touch to your home over the festive period. You'll find each of these eight timeless patterns are irresistible to make!The Christmas Quilting book by Annie’s Quilting is quite thin at 48 pages but is a beautiful and creative book which guides you through eight fabulous Christmas quilting projectsI know I would love to have any of them presented to me on Christmas morning. Or if I were a quilter I’d love to be presented with the book and to have a year to work on the items in it before next Christmas.
The book is aimed at quilters of various levels. Each project has a skill level attached to it which is really helpful. If you like quilting I’m sure you would find a lovely Christmas project in this book. I would definitely be a beginner but the way it is written I’d feel confident I could tackle the projects.
I think the content is really varied. It ranges from a beautiful Take A Breath wall hanging stags, to a traditional table runner adorned with Christmas trees, to more complex quilt designs.
This book is very visual. Each section leads you through how to make the quilts by using really well taken photos of the finished product and great graphics of things like the quilt blocks and how to cut them. It also has little tip and inspiration boxes along the way full of facts which I love in a book.
It’s just so fabulously Christmassy! As soon as I looked at it I wanted every quilt in my house for the festive season. It’s also nice that it shows items as table decorations, quilts, wall hangings – not all just traditional wrap yourself up quilts.
I think this book offers a lot for the cover price. I was also surprised to read that some of my favourite designs which I thought could be quite complicated are actually aimed at the ‘confident beginner’ skill level. That’s a big win in my opinion. I might well have a go for next year!

One Log Cabin quilt has AccuQuilt cutting instructions. There are several technique pages which cover three ways to make Flying Geese, foundation paper piecing and Y seams amongst others.

This is suitable for the beginner but also has patterns which would tempt the more experienced.
