sons and give us an opportunity to
gather friends and family for great food,
festivities, and fun. Springtime brings
Easter, when you want to create quilts
and other projects featuring soft, fresh
colors and early floral blooms. Celebrate
summer’s festive Fourth of July with
fireworks-bright color, and usher in fall
with table toppers, quilts, and fun proj-
ects bearing images of turning leaves
and pumpkins. Finally, in winter, evoke
snowflakes, sparkle, and holiday cheer in
quilts and table linens, followed by warm
reds and happy pinks for Valentine’s Day.
In this section, you’ll find beautiful proj-
ects to make for every season and every
holiday reason, from Mother’s Day and
Father’s Day to Halloween to the magical
winter holidays that close the year.
