Welcome November FabShopHoppers!

You are at the right place to find the November FabShopHop bunny. You’ll find her admiring the Hoffman Farmhouse Blooms digital prints below.

Farmhouse Cross Quilt Kit

Our Farmhouse Cross Quilt Kit is based on the stunning Farmhouse Cross quilt pattern created by QuiltFOX design featuring the soft blues and grays of the Hoffman Farmhouse blooms digital prints and the gorgeous floral print in the border.

We liked their fabric choices so much we decided to just kit it as is, with one minor change – we’ve provided enough border print fabric that you won’t have to piece it as specified in the pattern.

The Farmhouse Cross Quilt Kit finishes at 46″ x 60″ and sells for $109.00.

Farmhouse Cross Quilt pattern by QuiltFOX Design

If you love this pattern as much as we do, but already have another set of fabrics in mind, then you’ll want to buy this Farmhouse Cross quilt pattern by QuiltFOX design.

We love the way they achieved the watercolor look of the piecing around the cross and the star quilt block in the center of the cross.

The pattern is for a 46″ x 60″ wall hanging.

November FabShopHop bunny

Here she is… the November FabShopHop bunny is mulling over which of these beautiful Hoffman Digital prints she’s going to need for her next quilt.

Christmas Squad by Mia Charro from Free Spirit Fabrics

Mia is the designer behind all the adorable fabrics featuring animals with flowers in their hair and she has some fun Christmas prints. The coordinating prints are sold as yardage.

The Christmas Squad panel featuring adorable woodland animals decked out for the holidays is the 3rd one shown, labeled as “Multi”. These precious animals are ready for the Holidays. Each is approximaley 3″ x 4″. So that we don’t cut into an animal, we are selling this fabric in 1/3yd increments. So if you order 1, you will get 1/3yd of fabric which will give you a total of 42 blocks. That should be plenty to work with!!

Christmas in the City from Art Gallery Fabrics

If you like a Christmas theme in less traditional colors, this modern collection in pinks and teals will appeal to you.

Cheer and Merriment from Fancy That Designs for Moda

Here’s another Christmas collection featuring a slightly un-traditional color palette of teals along with the greens and reds. The Cheer and Merriment Panel, shown first, is 24″ x 42″ and features 6 big designs and 3 smaller ones that could each be used as the focal point of a small wallhanging.

Hoffman has been bringing us gorgeous Christmas prints for years and this year’s selection is just as beautiful with poinsettias, berries, Cardinals and ornaments in rich greens, reds, gold and black.

Evergreen Christmas line from Maywood Studios

Christmas Medley and Christmas Patchwork from Wilmington

Christmas Magic from Benartex

Christmas Magic by Kelly Rae Roberts for Benartex offers a softer color palette with very traditional imagery like snowflakes, paisleys, pine cones and Cardinals. These coordinate with the Benartex Christmas Magic Panel shown above.

These Christmas collections from Moda offer a wide range of imagery and color palettes. This is just a sampling of the prints from these collections, be sure to visit our Christmas fabrics page to see the full collections of each.
