The Christmas Edit

Christmas is creeping closer - you have probably already started your gift and decoration projects, but if not... That makes two of us! We've compiled all of our new Christmas collections into one post so you can find inspiration and decide which fabrics you need to fulfil your Christmas crafting list. 

As with all of our patchwork weight fabrics, they are all printed on a high quality 100% cotton, sourced from the best manufacturers. Enjoy!

Seasons Greeting

Liberty Fabrics celebrates the festive season with a new collection of prints, designed in the London studio. Traditional Christmas decorations dance alongside wintery florals, berries and fir branches, with metallic highlights. Contemporary hues such as rich pomegranate and glossy ivy give seasonal sewing projects a sophisticated edge.

Christmas Wonders

Smart, clean, classy designs make these Danish prints perfect for so many Christmas projects. There are 18 prints to choose from plus an easy to make advent calendar - simply fold and stitch up the lines to create the pockets. This year we have a 10" Patchwork Palette of 20 fabrics plus Fat Quarters in different colourways.

Sparkle

If you are looking for something to contrast with the black/gold prints of Christmas Wonders then these Sparkle designs, also from Stof, work very nicely. These three cool designs also have a gorgeous metallic gold overprint.

Snowy Magic

And then there is Snowy Magic, complete with animals in jumpers of course! It’s a small group of five designs, just enough for a little Christmas project that will raise a smile or two. Also available as a Fat Quarter pack.

Twelve Days of Christmas 

...and a partridge in a pear tree... The 60cm panel is beautifully illustrated to portray the Twelve Days of Christmas gifts and is complemented by a motif pint, Christmas tree and general coordinates, each with metallic detailing. Nine metallic snowflakes, notes and scroll designs complete this collection.

Festive

Santa and his reindeer feature in this fun collection of merry and bright colours. Ten prints are available as a Fat Quarter bundle plus additional designs that include a fun 60cm panel (perfect as a quilt centre), an advent calendar and a motifs panel that can be used to make cards, tags or tree decorations. Plus a beautiful Star Cushion kit.

Deck the Halls

Beautiful traditional designs featuring poinsettia's, holly and Christmas foliage all with metallic gold detailing in reds, greens and creams. Perfect for traditionally styled table runners, tree skirts, cushions etc.
This collection comes with the Christmas Tree wall hanging and Star Cushions kits, plus fat quarter bundle.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas is a modern take on traditional Christmas images in a cool teal and charcoal palette. We have a Fat Quarter bundle of 9 fabrics as well as fabric by the metre.

Scandi 

Cute forest characters and a detailed houses print updates this traditional Scandi look for 2019. The collection features stocking, label and advent panels as well as 14 coordinating prints in reds and greys. We also have two quilt kits available in Scandi designs. 

Winter Cottage

Winter Cottage is an absolute delight - a quintessentially English country setting complete with a red post box and a robin (robins are a rare find on a fabric print). There is a beautiful Cottage 60cm panel which is supported by 8 coordinating prints. The two are combined in our Winter Cottage Quilt Kit which measures 55" x 75" - lovely!

Winter Whimsy

Looking for something to keep out the chill on cold winter nights? Winter Whimsy is printed on brushed cotton (flannel). The panel features three cuddly Scandinavian gnomes that also appear on the coordinates in a crisp palette of grey, red and white. This collection is a must for anyone who enjoys a good snuggle!

Skogen

Bethan Janine applies her smart, contemporary style to Christmas flora and fauna with Skogen, a small collection of 9 designs in cool colours with a contrasting red and a gold overprint to add a touch of sparkle. Skogen is also available as a 9 Fat Quarter pack, which includes the instructions to make this beautiful Accent Quilt below!

Dashwood Advent Calendars

Also from Dashwood are these two panel prints. The Merry & Bright panel has an original take on the advent calendar: cut out and stitch a backing of your choice to the 24 bag fronts and add ribbon to create a drawstring bag for each. Fill with treats and arrange as you wish on a string or hang individually.

Nutcracker

Nutcracker is a gorgeous five-piece collection by Stuart Hillard for Craft Cotton co. which can be purchased by metre and as a fat quarter collection. There are also three gorgeous panels for making your own advent calendar, gift bags or Christmas stocking.

Deck The Halls

Deck The Halls is the latest fabric collection by Debbie Shore for Craft Cotton Co. This is a wonderful Christmas collection featuring cheery reds and green blended with a classic beige and grey.

Christmas Glow

Lewis & Irene's first ever glow in the dark Christmas collection.
This magical range includes glow in the dark stocking letters. The letters can be stitched on to personalise your stockings or they can be used for other fun crafts all year round. The Santa scene will wow when you turn off the lights to see the busy elves glow as they work and the reindeer in their stables, plus a red star coordinate.

Bluebell Wood

A new season for the best-selling Bluebell Wood fabric from Lewis & Irene. It's wintertime in the woods with some friendly woodland animals and pretty winter florals.
This cute collection comes with five fabrics by the metre and a fat quarter pack.

Pre-Cuts

If pre-cuts are your thing then we have four new Christmas collections from Moda for you to choose from!

Merriment

We also have some adorable Christmas Critter panels for the Merriment collection. Gingiber’s signature style shines through in these panel designs that include an advent calendar and critters both large and small.

Winter Blooms by Hoffman

Hoffman really do raise the bar with their stunning designs and colouring and Winter Blooms is no exception. Eight prints, all with a silver metallic overprint make the perfect choice for that special Christmas project. All eight designs are featured in our Winter Blooms Fat Quarter pack.

Dreaming of Snow by Cloth Works 

Rebecca Jones’ latest collection is all about the animals. This double panel is a big hit and would make a great centre for a quilt or matching cushions. The 60cm panel features two identical images, each approximately 55 x 60cm. We have six coordinating prints that are also available as a Fat Quarter pack.

Lake Caribou by QT Fabrics

Another panel features in Lake Caribou, but this time the style is very different. Santa’s reindeer await him patiently in this serene, atmospheric image. We simply adore the stunning use of watercolour painting, the panel really looks like a work of art. Two other coordinates are available for backing and binding to make this into a charming wall hanging.

Christmas Themed Charm Packs

If you can’t make a decision on which Christmas fabrics to choose why not try a little bit of everything! These three Christmas-themed 5" charm packs are freshly cut from our current stock and are perfect for small Christmas projects. Choose from Season’s Greeting - traditional colours, many with a metallic overprint, Contemporary Christmas - fun prints with a more modern colour palette and Scandi Christmas - the ever-popular Scandinavian inspired prints from Makower. Please note that the fabrics included by vary from the pictures.

Christmas Quilts!

As you can see throughout this post we have a number of Christmas Quilt Kits available. We would like to highlight this beautiful Roadside Flowers Snowball Quilt Kit as one of our favourite 'Christmas, but not exclusive to' quilts. The deep, vibrant blues and violets of the Roadside Flowers prints are set against a magenta texture in this striking quilt. The design is simple yet effective and great for beginners!

From June Tailor we have two quilt as you go projects - One Christmas stocking and one Christmas Tree Skirt. The easy sew-by number construction means you can whip up a Christmas project using 2 1/2" pre-cut strips in no time.

That's a wrap!

And there you have it, (almost) all of our Christmas collections that are currently available! Christmas really is getting close so it's time to get excited, plan your me-made gifts, decide on this year's colour scheme and get a wiggle on! 

TIP: Write yourself a list of 'whos', decide on the 'whats' and number them from highest priority (the grandkids) to your lowest priority (your second cousin twice removed) - okay that last bit is a joke! But seriously, if you're feeling a bit flustered with festive fever, plan exactly what you need so you can get it all in one go (panels, wadding, needles, threads), pay postage once, skip the last-minute panic post and pop those prezzies under the tree on the 24th feeling calm and collected (as if!). 

Happy Christmas Crafting!
