The Christmas Edit

Christmas always comes early in the crafting world so to help you get in the mood we've done a quick round up of all the best Christmas collections for 2017, and this year there are some absolute beauties! To see all these fabrics and more, visit our Christmas shop here.

These Scandinavian-themed fabrics have become a firm favourite with quilters and the collections get better year on year. This year we have an even bigger palette with mix of new designs and old “classics”.

Our limited edition Scandi 4 Fat Quarter packs includes all 12 fabrics in each of the three colourways- Red, Grey and Neutral.

Can’t decide which Scandi fabrics to choose? Our limited edition Scandi Christmas 5" Charm Pack contains a selection of 30 of these well loved prints for you to peruse through.

This year is all about the countdown with a difference - this adorable Stocking Advent will appeal to any child from 1 to 100! Instructions are printed on the panel.

This gorgeous Scandi Star Quilt, measuring 60" (150cm) square is designed by Lynne Goldsworthy and also comes in each of the three colourways.

Our kits includes all the fabrics required to complete the quilt top and binding plus instructions and would make for a cosy Christmas lap quilt for those chilly nights.

Plus you can make christmas tree decorations to match with this 60cm garland panel - just add stuffing and a ribbon, et voila!

For plenty more fun projects, look no further than Makower’s Novelty Christmas range that the kids will surely love.



This collection brings you the most adorable of Santas, Penguins and Polarbears. There’s a fat quarter pack available for those who just want it all, large and mini stocking panels as well as an advent calendar panel.

If novelty isn’t your thing then the Traditional Christmas range is sure to push your buttons with its simple yet sophisticated designs, delicate advent panel and even more mini stockings! Like I said; it’s all about the countdown with a difference.

Next in line is Modern Christmas which comes in two colourways - Lavish and Sublime, for those who want to take their Christmas colour palettes in an exciting new direction.

For a dose of Christmas cuteness, look no further than Merry Little Christmas by Jane Farnham for Dashwood Studios . This advent panel will bring a smile to anyone’s Monday morning face.

This years fastest-collection-to-disappear-from-the-shelves (but thankfully can be promptly re-stocked) award goes to Norrland, designed by Bethan Janine for Dashwood Studios.

Those woodland creatures have got everybody swooning and the double edged border fabric is begging to be made into a dress, or a bag, or a lampshade… (for a really simple yet gorgeous DIY lampshade, check out our needcraft kit)

If you need any more inspiration, take to @dashwoodstudio’s instagram page where they repost stunning customer makes just like the ones above, that will surely get your fingers itching. And hey, whilst you’re there, why not follow our instagram page too @cottonpatchuk

You can find both of these ranges plus last years prints of Dashwood Christmas fabric here.

This Winter Whispers panel was very popular at Festival of Quilts; it is such a graceful design and the wintery theme doesn’t just limit it to Christmas. The range comes with supporting fabrics that allow you to make the panel into a bigger quilt project or to simply add a border, and are also lovely by themselves. [Sorry, this panel has now sold out!]

Magical Moments is a metallic collection from Stof which comes in three colourways; Christmas, Copper and Storm. The collection offers something different for anyone looking to move away from tradition style.

The dark metallics have a particularly sophisticated feel and the advent calendar offers something for “grown ups” who still want their chocolate!

Another stunning metallic collection is Winter Blossom. The Poinsettia and Holly Leaf designs nod to tradition whilst the glittery overlay creates a classic modern feel. See the collection here.

Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without Moda and Moda really know how to do Christmas. This year we have been spoilt for choice with a great range of pre-cuts covering all styles and tastes. All of these collections plus more can be found on our Moda Christmas fabrics page here.

Forest Frost II has a delicate colour palette and soft designs complimented perfectly by a healthy helping of glitter!

Nordic stitches by Wenche Wolff Hatling of Northern Quilts reminds me that I need to up my Christmas jumper game and Petites Maisons de Noel offers the rich, traditional designs that we have all come to expect from French General.

Snowberry by 3 Sisters has a very soft, delicate palette and is not only limited to Christmas whilst Snowman Gatherings III by Primitive Gatherings bring a fresh yet vintage feel to the sewing table.

For our final Christmas collection from Moda, Magnolia Metallics offers a classic Christmas decor embellished with luxurious metallic.
