Angelique learned to sew when she was eight and then jumped back in as a new mom. The winter hats she made for her son and his new baby cousin were well-loved. She writes, “The hat! The dinosaur hat became a hit. Everyone wanted one, so the shop was officially open for business. My family and friends are my inspiration. Everything in the shop was originally made for someone I adore. I studied graphic design, and still very happily work in that field, but there is something so special to me about making a special gift for someone to love.”
With Fabric and Thread (US Winners Only)
Author: Joanna Figueroa
Publisher: Wiley
Quilting and sewing are joining forces in a way that they never have before. Long-time quilters are starting to experiment with a bit of home sewing or simple sewing for their grandchildren. The younger side of the sewing community is embracing the world of patchwork and quilting. With Fabric & Thread seamlessly bridges the gap between these two crafts and delivers a unique collection of projects that appeal to sewers and quilters alike. Features 20 new projects that marry the nomenclature of both sewing and quilting. Plus, a special section features six patterns that can be accomplished two different ways: one using sewing techniques and one using quilting techniques. The result is two unique looks from a single pattern.
Don’t miss our Handmade Holidays photo pool, and check out our 2011 Handmade Holidays list for more fabulous ideas.

I love the sewing machine cover from Ellison Lane Quilts. I already made a cover for my sewing machine (sadly, not using this pattern), so I may have to make it for my best friend’s machine.
And I wish I had one of those pressing boards. I’m wondering if I could put two smaller strips of wood underneath to make it fit over an ironing board. It seems as if it would work, but I sometimes overlook the obvious.
More fabulous ideas. This is fun!
