I almost forgot to share a quilt.  I shared my version of this quilt here, so decided to post an alternate version. Quilt was pieced by Lynne Creasy (a fabulous Wish employee) and quilted by Angela Clark of Thread Waggle Quilting! Fabric is Whimsy by Michael Miller. Pattern is Perfect Ten by Swirly Girls Design.

We had a such a great time last Saturday at our first Christmas in July event. Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of our event. We appreciate it very much!

 Santa has delivered some great fabric and the Wish staff did a fabulous job on finishing their holiday quilts before the event!  To continue the fun, we would like to know which quilt is your favorite? Post a comment to let us know and we will draw a winner for a 1/2 yard of fabric from your favorite quilt on Monday, July 20th. The Wish employee that made the winning quilt will get a special gift from me as well as bragging rights until next year’s event. 

If you missed our event, we have a special candy cane coupon for you in the shop for the remainder of this week. Stop by and see these beautiful quilts in person and don’t forget your candy cane

From Nancy Halvorsen’s I Believe in Santa collection, three beautiful projects:

Nancy Kennedy’s quilt on the left used the Shadow Box pattern by Mountain Peek Creations. Cindy Massey used Nancy Halvorsen’s book I Believe to create this great Christmas card holder. One of our customers, Grace Lents, loaned us her quilt for the day from the Believing Tree book.

In order to make room for all of the fabulous fabric that I just ordered at Spring Quilt Market, we are having an online BLOWOUT sale at Wish Upon A quilt! Now through May 22, take 10% off any order with the coupon code MAYSALE. Here is a sneak peek of some of the new fabric that was ordered at market…this one is Whimsy by Pillow and Maxfield for Michael Miller, what do you think of it?

I love finding great new fabrics at Quilt Market. I’m on my way back to Raleigh from the Spring Quilt market and couldn’t wait to share pictures of Laura Gunn’s Lantern Bloom. The fabric was created from Laura’s original artwork and is stunning. This is Laura’s debut fabric line from Michael Miller.  Laura was a delight to meet in person and I’m looking forward to more great fabric designs from her in the future. Lantern Bloom will be arriving at Wish Upon A Quilt in June…what do you think?
