Block 4, Cookies 4 Santa, has been designed by Kim Hanson. Our friends at the Fat Quarter Shop have a fabulous 50% off Super Deal for you to enjoy too.

Sash them, add borders, baste it, quilt it, and have it ready to give-away or keep for yourself this Christmas.

What is your quilting style?
Simple, quick & easy! I love designing quilts for children – using cozy flannels and embroidered designs to inject color and personality into the project.
How did you get started quilting and/or designing?
My grandma taught me to sew, using her ancient Singer sewing machine. Once I had our first child, I wanted to make him a baby quilt. I took a quilting class, loved every minute of it and didn’t ever want to stop quilting.
Do you have a favourite quilt?
My favorite quilt is an Ohio Star pattern that I made using Robyn Pandolph fabrics. The muted, complementary colors of these fabrics sold me immediately!
