And fans of Christmas quilts will enjoy making a sleighful of Santas like those in Jo Barry's Santa's Helpers.

Appliqué lovers will find plenty to please them in "Traditions in Quilting," including Eula Long's Basket Quilt, an original design of 12 baskets filled with flowers, fruit, and birds.

Enjoy!
