It's that time of year again...for me anyways. The time of year when I start planning out Christmas gifts...and handmade quilts are always in the mix.

You can find the book HERE (affiliate link) for under $14 dollars which is a great deal too ... View the Post

We have paired them in so many ways....I love how versatile they are. Materials: cotton yard (or any yarn of your choosing), piece of cardboard 11" tall (I used a manilla folder), and scissors. ...
