Winter Wonderland Sew Along
Happy Saturday everyone! Have you been following along with the fun during the Winter Wonderland Sew Along with the Fat Quarter Shop. It is with Sherri Falls of This & That Patterns and we’re all sewing up the Sleigh Bell Sampler from her first book with It’s Sew Emma, Winter Wonderland.
The block I did is the House Block which is so darn cute! You might not even know it is in the book as it is hidden behind the Christmas tree on the cover.
Here is a picture of the block and……
here is mine! I think this is the cutest pattern in the whole book!
I made a couple other blocks using a collection of Christmas fabric called Jovial I have had for a while. If you go to my tutorial page, you’ll find the fabrics used in several things.
I just had to make a couple houses out of batiks too. The book has twelve different projects and twelve different blocks with color photos of everything. Be sure and visit Fat Quarter Shop’s blog and see the other quilt blocks.
Thank you Sherri Falls and Fat Quarter Shop for a great Sew Along!

I most often use MK50-2000 (Light Sand) because it blends well and pieces beautifully.
I like the Teal Spotted Variegated thread Thanks for a great giveaway. x
There are so many colours I love but my most favourite is Spring Green – awesome.

I love the washed denim variegated thread!
Nice choices but I think blue.
It's hard to decide, but the light jade is probably my favorite so far. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I love the light jade.
I love all the colors, it's so hard to choose just one! I didn't see it on FQS's site, but I use 2615 for piecing since it's so light a gray.
light sand
I am fairly safe in my choice with Aurifil Dove. jarvenpa1ne at gmail dot com
My favorite thread is white. Thanks! sarah@forrussia.org
I think my favorite is the graphite varigated. Thanks for the chance!!

I've debated SO many times at buying that Winter Wonderland book, and now you're posting about it? That really makes it even harder to ignore now that you are doing one of the quilts from the book too? Darn. You KNOW I do not have time which was why I've been trying to ignore it. LOL I just know I'm going to break down. In fact earlier today while checking out the Flash Sale and not wanting to buy just that one item, I actually looked at the Winter Wonderland book again, but decided to not get anything today.
As far as thread, I love so many of the Aurifil colors, especially the Dusty Blue Violet #MK50-2525. But as much as I like that one, I don't have that or many of the other pretty colors I like so much. I've been buying those which would be best for piecing on any fabric rather than selected one. For that I've got a few, but the one I use most of the time is either White, or the Grey MK50-2605.
Maybe I'll win and then I can pick the pretty colors I want but haven't bought yet.
I love aurifil – I use a neutral grey on just about everything!
My favourite colour is MK50-1310 medium blue grey.

So many to choose from but I think the Light Sand would be my favorite. Kind of a neutral color. Thanks!

I LOVE Storm at Sea Variegated. Thank you for the chance to win!
Thanks so much for such a generous giveaway. I use Aurifil for all my piecing and quilting. If I had to decide on one color it would be turquoise.

Your blocks for the Winter Wonderland Sew Along are lovely! Light Sand and Dove are two of my favorite "go to" Aurifil colors – but it always seems like the latest one I add to my small collection becomes my favorite.
your blocks are too cute
I really love the Medium Grey and Licorice Twist
Aurifil Storm at Sea VARIEGATED 100% Cotton Mako SPOOL Thread
Aurifil #MK50-4655 is gorgeous!
Natural White is my favorite color. It is great for piecing quilts!
Light sand is my favorite since it's so versatile but it seems so boring. I think I need to try some wild new colors. Lovely house blocks.Karen kthurn(at)bektel(dot)com
Your house block is very cute I love the chimney fabric. My favorite to use is Aufifill light beige.
oh, oh, love this thread. Storm at Sea has to be my most favorite, but, gee, all are gorgeous. thanks !
My favorite is 2340–goes with just about everything I sew!
Aurifil Ermine looks to be a good blender for many colors of fabric.

Ohhh the houses are adorable! I wish I could join more QALs but I'm finishing up what I have going on and don't want to start anything new until the new year 🙂
Your house is adorable – all of them! I love 2600 & 2710, both silvery tints!
I like the Light Sand, blends really well.
I follow on IG as Mary Mack Made Mine. Thanks!
Adorable house! I love 2000, a sweet creamy color that works so well for piecing and quilting.
I like Robin Egg blue, love your house!
cork@pa.rr.com
I love delft blue – and your house blocks! x
The yellow orange would be my pick, but they are all so darn pretty, it's difficult to choose just one. lv2bquilting2@comcast.net
I love Aurifil colors, so vibrant. I ususally use 2310, light beige or 2610, light blue grey for piecing, but 2110, light lemon looks yummy.
Trying to follow you on IG but my cell won't let me log in while I'm traveling. 🙁
All the colors are good but I like Dove because it is so neutral. What a great giveaway! Thanks, Connie and the Fat Quarter Shop.

Such a fun quilt to be working on! My favorite shade of the 50 weight is Light Teal.
I am an IG follower!
For 90% of my piecing, I use 50 wt white-2024. Just tried 40wt to FMQ in black, and I LOVE it! Ordered olive green and wine 40 wt for my Christmas project quilting.
That's easy! It's 2026, a pale yellow, Angela Walters' favourite, I might add! 🙂
I agree that house is cute! I've been using Dove a lot lately.
Sorry it posted twice, I am having some issues with the computer. Have a great day!
Your house block is wonderful! Aurifill Arctic Ice is my favorite at this time. LOL. I have been picking out grey for everything lately. It is a fabulous color that will blend with almost everything. Thank you for the chance to win this prize. Have a wonderful creative day!

Adore the house block! I love the blues – so Midnight is one of my favorites!
Connie, all your creations are beautiful! Now I just need more time with my sewing machine to make my version of your table runners & placemats. Keep the creativity coming our way. I enjoy reading your emails, you are very inspiring 😉
Aurifil 4020 is really pretty. Thanks for the chance to win.
The Wedgewood is a favorite of mine. I love the Houses, think I might have to buy this book.
I follow you on IG as notqnot.
My favorite is teal #2815. Thanks for the great giveaway!
It is hard to choose, but I use the cream the most. Red is my favorite but I don't use much.
Thanks

Love your block. I like the turquoise thread x

That is adorable. I want to make a table runner of the cup block and something with just the ornament block.
I really like the Storm at Sea verigated thread though I know that in reality I would use White the most.

I really love the butter thread or maybe salmon.
They are all really lovely and there are so many great colors.

I add lime green fabrics to many of my creations, so I'd choose Spring Green Aurifil thread to be my favorite! (Keeping my fingers and toes crossed to win one of your gracious giveaways!)
My favorite color is the Medium Blue Grey.
kdavis1@centurytel.net
This is one of the cutest houses I've seen. I love the bottom of the roof. I haven't used Aurifil yet, I tend to use neutral colors.
I use white the most-but it's fun to see all the colors!
I haven't used Aurifil before either…would try the Butter, or maybe Muslin color first. BUT definitely LOVE all the Variegated colors!! Bet they are Amazing to use!! (couldn't pick just one! lol) Thanks too, for chance to win!!
I'm following you on Instagram. cdahlgren at live dot com
Seems sad, but White is my favorite color for piecing. I too often tend to use a white background on my quilts. Although right now I'm doing one on grey background and one on a red background, yeah me! cdahlgren at live dot com.
I like the Light Sand color because that is what I use most often when I quilt my quilts. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I like the Baby blue eyes varrigated.
My all-time favorite is Natural White #2021. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love 2900 light sage. Blends with lights and darks and is great for EPP. Thanks for the chance to win. Julie in MS. plutosmom@gmail.com
Light Delft is my favorite. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have just begun using Aurifil and I love it! No. 2310 is perfect for piecing. Thank you for the chance to add to my new collection.
Very cute house blocks. Christmas is coming quickly. I do not know the color as I have yet to try Aurifil but I did buy a lovely light grey color. Thank you for the chance to win some Aurifil thread.
I follow you on instagram.
I love the teal and grass green! I love this thread!
Such a cute block!
The color I would use the most is light grey but the color I love the est is Pink Blossom! So pretty!!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Love the house blocks thanks for sharing. Muslin is the color i would choose
Your blocks are lovely! My favorite color of thread is the sand color. It just so great for piecing almost any color. Thanks for the chance on your giveaway!
That IS a cute block. Too bad it is behind the greenery. I'd be happy with any color, but the shining green looks like it would be a fun one to have.
I love the light jade thread color. Thank you for the giveaway.
HI,I really like using Dove 2600! Thanks for sharing!
msstitcher1214@gmail.com
I follow you on Instagram Connie. pksolberg. Thanks again!
I love all the Aurifil colors but Muslin is favorite go-to for piecing and quilting. Your house blocks are delightful Connie! Thanks for sharing.
My favorite color is #5020, a gray-green that blends well with all medium-to-dark colors. If I can't piece it with a cream or light tan, 5020 is my go-to color.
I love the burgundy colour. It looks so good on navy and black!
I follow you on Instagram as QuilterDiana
Purple is my favorite color so I liked Aurifil's Violet.
Your little houses are so so cute! I use Dove 2600 the most because it's such a great blender for piecing but I'm definitely crushing in Turquoise 2810
Both house blocks are super cute and love your fabric combo!
I haven´t tried Auirifil so any to handquilting would be welcome.
Hard to believe Christmas is just around the corner! Beautiful blocks! I like Aurifil 2000 because it blends so nicely.
