Christmas Quilts in a Flash!

[@KimtheElder]

My dad told me they would put the mint stick in the orange they got at Christmas and drink it.

[@melanietehan6560]

I love that you 2 have not practiced your conversations! So refreshing and fun.

[@FabricCafe]

Glad you enjoyed it! We never practice and do have fun!

[@barbarabaker346]

I was always told that the crook on the candy cane is to represent the Shepard’s hook and also if you turn the candy cane upside down it becomes a J for Jesus.

[@FabricCafe]

How cool is that!

[@sandybruce9092]

Thank you for the reminder! I had forgotten (in my old age!!!).

[@juanitahooker132]

Love elegant ornaments.

[@mariecolello4222]

Donna & Fran are always sooo encouraging to make quick quilts that are cool looking!

[@mary2240]

Hi Donna, Fran, John and everyone else.

[@augustslady]

Snow days don’t come around in Northern Minnesota either! Lol.. it’s a sport up here to drive in winter!

[@ndean1687]

Gosh! I was feeling down tonight, but then I watched your video with the ADORABLE Christmas quilts! They made me so happy! I really liked all of the fabrics, and the (non-Christmas) cat-print fabric, with the paw-print border and sashing!! You are correct about the shape of the candy cane--a Shepherd's crook, and, upside down, it is a 'J', for Jesus! Also, the red represents His blood, and the white represents His purity! Thank you so much for the fun video! 💖🤗

[@calt8513]

Engagement is so pretty.

[@cynthiadonatelli7292]

Lived all my life in New England. Attaching mittens cord has always been practical. We can even buy cords with clips at the ends to make changing out mittens very easy. Can’t imagine mittens without their cords.

[@FabricCafe]

How wonderful!

[@cliffordcarroll9320]

What a couple hambones…so fun!!! Really enjoyed this episode!

[@marionbartley214]

Great show and new quilts. Thank you Donna & Fran.

[@cathylombard964]

My mother used to crochet a chain of yarn and attach the mittens together. The chain went through th sleeves. I turn 70 on Saturday, so it’s been around for awhile. 😉

[@janiceskene1666]

I am 65 and we had to crocheted strings too. Most schools and daycares no longer allow them because they have decided they are a safety hazard. Even as a teenager, I had them. Really handy when cheering at a hockey game, you don't lose your mitts when you take them to clap. I live in Canada so we wear mitts for many months.

[@debbiebraatz1919]

Good to see you again Donna, and Fran😊

[@FabricCafe]

:)

[@sherryking7817]

Love the holiday fabrics

[@jankalonick4771]

If I don't enlarge the quilts then I just make a bed runner out of the 3 yard quilt. It works great!!!

[@photographybyday]

Pretty fabric

[@paulasmith6169]

Beautiful 😍 fabric and kits . Thanks Donna and Fran.

[@lindao7887]

BEAUTIFUL Christmas quilt design and fabric!! - Baubles!!! 💖

[@mary2240]

I love that ornament fabric ❤️

[@jeannettasmith2825]

I switch out the quilts on my beds according to the season. This time of year, my longarm is doing overtime. ;)

[@FabricCafe]

That is awesome!

[@debbymccauley4774]

Christmas fabrics so pretty...Thanks for sharing. Love the Christmas Ornament & Snowman Fabrics.

[@robertacaruthers7568]

I wish I still had my mom to enjoy Christmas and its decor. You always seem to have fun interacting with each other. Loved the Baubles quilt. And one day I would love to have seasonal quilts for my bed. It feels like it would be so cozy.

[@betted3792]

Oh my goodness the four patches look like presents. I think the chineal y'all make would look so cute made into bows where the four patch comes together in the center.🎀

[@FabricCafe]

Great idea!!

[@jylromain6439]

The candy cane is a shepherd's crook. All these fabrics are gorgeous. I was going to ask if you ever make quilts for one another as gifts. It sounds like Fran may be planning a few.

[@FabricCafe]

She is the best daughter ever!

[@janhatchett7834]

I am absolutely swooning over all these gorgeous fabrics. Usually I think they are all gorgeous but 1 or 2 collections really stand out to me. Holy moly! These are all calling my name!!! I don’t know how to choise!

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you so much!

[@lynnperschke3966]

Love these just stunning

[@delmariesnodgrass5038]

Hi ladies! I love the peppermint quilt and the great story.

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks so much!

[@cherylwilliams42]

Oh, my goodness! Love the very first one!

[@FabricCafe]

Thanks so much! I really wanted to design this one!

[@carolgarrett6354]

Love the fabrics

[@roseparr7919]

Love them all. ❤️❤️

[@maryboyette1605]

The Winter Pair Kit made me think of when I was a child living in Washington. Mom would clip our mittens to our coat sleeves. The mittens with the string are a little tricky to put on. You put one mitten in a sleeve and the string would be in the coat and the mittens would stay in the coat, in theory anyway.😄

[@anitanoland9188]

You gals never disappoint!!! Love the fabrics! So many choices to make beautiful quilts!

[@FabricCafe]

Thank you so much!

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

Oh my love this!

[@helenbrown5215]

Love the Snow Days just beautiful it's on my list love you ladies

[@FabricCafe]

Happy holidays!

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

Love the ornament kit. And the Baubles and pinwheels patterns are some of my favorites.

[@FabricCafe]

I'm so glad!

[@karenraabis5296]

I loved the Tic Tac in the fabric on the quilt. I guess you don’t have anymore of that?

[@FabricCafe]

check our fabric section at fabriccafe.com.

[@jenniferrobinson6338]

I’m just finishing my THIRD 3-yd Christmas quilt! But these fabrics are so beautiful I may have to make a few more!

[@FabricCafe]

Wonderful!

[@vp7746]

Thank you! Absolutely LOVE them all! 🙏♥️

[@roxanneroehrig324]

LOVE LOVE LOVE what you all have put together for this video!!! Wish I could buy them all in queen/king, lol. They are wonderful!!! Thank you 😊!

[@FabricCafe]

We do love Christmas!

[@dorisr2832]

I just made the Lickety Split pattern with two directional fabrics. At first I couldn't believe they would work, but I took your word for it and forged ahead. All was good, and it's a fun pattern. I have most of your books.

[@FabricCafe]

Wonderful!

[@carlindatrenholm6586]

I’m thinking that the Winter Pair kit would be stunning in the crossroads pattern. The pinwheel plus one and engagement patterns would be nice as well. One of the great things about 3 yard quilts!!

[@FabricCafe]

Great idea!!

[@ginadonica9717]

I love watching your videos you guys are so fun and creative. Can’t wait to make some fun Christmas quilts. You were talking about making Christmas quilts for your bed. That’s a goal of mine is to make quilts for my bed for the holidays and for summer, spring, fall and winter. Your quilt ideas will make it fun and easy!!! Thank you guys!

[@FabricCafe]

What a great idea, Gina! You will always have a fresh and fun quilt throughout the year! Good luck!

[@debbiestine9556]

The book is “The Legend of the Candy Cane “ by Lori Walburg. There is also a KZbin video of it. I would read it to my 1st graders!

[@oliviakeyes9403]

I like your 3 yard quilts. I’m a beginner and find sometimes your directions aren’t detailed enough. It would be nice if you would show more details. Especially the sashing. How about a beginner quilter pattern book?

[@tammyblackmore1345]

A candy maker wanted to do something for Christmas. So he made a candy cane. It was a J for Jesus. The red was for the blood he spilled and the white was for righteousness.

[@marthahale2364]

What's the difference between Sew Fast & Brick Street?

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Martha! They are similar in design, however Brick Street is a little wider when finished and features bigger blocks than Sew Fast. Brick Street also uses the #2 fabric for the sashing, in contrast Sew Fast uses the #3 fabric.

[@darcaspena4823]

How do we know which pattern is the quick pattern in the books?

[@FabricCafe]

Make a KZbin search on the name of the book. We always do a book introduction video and point out the super easy choice.

[@deloresrast8543]

Does Fabric Cafe have an hour glass 3 yd quilt? I looked through the patterns and didn’t see one.

[@FabricCafe]

Hi Delores, the only pattern we currently have that features an hour glass type shape is our "Spools" pattern. You can find it here and maybe it's something that you could use? - www.fabriccafe.com/Spools-Downloadable-3-Yard-Quilt-Pattern-p/091621e.htm

[@calt8513]

Does the book have instructions as to how to cut the baubles?

[@FabricCafe]

Hi! Yes, our book includes all the instructions needed to make the baubles quilt, including how we go about shaping our bauble. It also includes instructions on how to make a twin or queen/king size!

[@lisaschippert9426]

Oh lost socks and mittens turn into Tupperware lids!

[@FabricCafe]

So true! 😅

[@calt8513]

Is the Winter Pair #8022398 Lickety Split kit available for purchase? Thank you.

[@FabricCafe]

We only have 3 left, so if you hurry you may be able to snag one! www.fabriccafe.com/Winter-Pair-3-Yard-Quilt-Kit-p/8022398.htm

[@floyslavik7462]

The candy cane symbolizes the shepherds cane and the red represents the blood shed by Christ to provide salvation for man. the white is for the sinless person of Jesus and our soul after we ask for forgiveness and cleansing of our soul.
