About the author

In 1981 Nancy J. Smith and Lynda S. Milligan joined forces to establish the Great American Quilt Factory, Inc. The store, in Denver, Colorado, specialized in quilting patterns, fabrics, classes, and supplies. Four years later, Nancy and Lynda began designing patterns for quilts, stuffed animals, and dolls. In 1985 the formed DreamSpinners, the pattern division of Great American Quilt Factory, Inc. In 1987 the business needed more space, and moved to its present location on East Hampden Avenue in Denver. Consequently, DreamSpinners continued to grow, and eventually became the largest independent pattern company in the United States. In 1988, Nancy and Lynda created Possibilities as a book publishing division. In 1992, the "I'll Teach Myself" series was created to introduce sewing to a younger generation.

Great patterns for Christmas, from a traditional renaissance ad white bear paw to santa fusible applique and a Christmas tree advent calendar that looks doable for this quilting and sewing newbie.

Some cute projects.

I enjoyed reading through this book and have gotten quite a few ideas for future projects. I want to try my hand at the Advent Calendar Wallhanging. Several great quilt patterns found in this book. I just wish there were more bed sized quilts. I get tired of having to figure out how to finish the quilt to fit queen-sized beds.
Patterns I loved: STARRY STARRY NIGHT quilt
BEAR'S PAW quilt
STRIPPY TREES quilt
THREE TALL SANTAS quilt
