  25. The Elf Quilt has turned out so well! You can practically feel Christmas, congratulations.
    And the bag in the magazine, wow. I enjoy stitching bags so that is right up my alley. Fortunately, I do believe that is a magazine that we get (about 8 months later!) up here in Canada. I’ll make a note to keep an eye out for it.

  28. Fabulous! Christmas is my absolute favourite and I’ve loved elves since childhood. Thank you for a gorgeous creation. Cate M

  34. The elve’s are great, and the color…..i am a great fan off red, he is beautiful 🙂 Greatings from holland!

  36. This is a wonderful quilt, the red work is so christmassy, all your patterns are lovely. I am currently doing the christmas BOM in 4 different colour ways, one for me and 3 for friends! Thank you so much for all you share, but where do you find the time? Anne

  40. Your elves are so cute – must be lovely to have them about the house during Christmas. Is it true that they help you as well with getting everything ready for Christmas?
    I am so lucky to have a subscription on Australian Country Threads – can’t wait till the next issue reaches Holland and as I need a new bag I now know which one I will make ..0:)

  67. I love this pattern and all the red. I recently found your site and really enjoy it. I would love the chance to win some patterns.

  70. So excited that your pattern is now out and available. I just started your BOM (late, I know) and it’s my second attempt at embroidery. I’d love to try to improve my skills with the cute elves!

  71. love the quilt Gail, also think the fabrics are lovely, i have began collecting some nice reds !
    Will be out to buy Country Threads this week
    Kind Regards…..Heather

  72. These elves are just too cute! I cannot wait to get started. I’m up to date on the Christmas BOM and looking forward to next month already. Thanks for your generosity! Piece…

  73. You have the cutest quilts. I just love how you put everything together. You are so creative. I love your stuff.

  74. The quilt is wonderful, I had contacted one of your places here in the USA and they said they have not heard of your block yet but will keep an eye and ear open. So, I will be back in contact with them again. The little guys are so cute, and look like they would be fun to stitch. I have the BOM’s in double and I am caught up so far, and it has been fun. Keeping up with your blog makes the day more fun, to see what sneek peeks are out there. You have a wonderful talent.

  75. Oh I just love the elves!! I wonder how they would look in blue or green?? I hope I’m lucky enough to win one of the patterns!

  82. I just LOVE your elves! And I LOVE giveaways (although I never win…), so please count me in ^_^
    Best regards from the Netherlands, Gert

  84. Your elves are to die for! They are the cutest. Christmas is my favorite season right next to Halloween. I would love to stitch your elves. Linda C

  85. Gail,
    Love the Red……it’s my favorite color, then add the stitchery to it and the Christmas theme…and I know it can’t get any better than that. Debra

  86. I would love to make your charming little elves part of my family’s Christmas! I am also enjoying stitching your wonderful Christmas BOM.

  87. hi Gail,
    Fantastic as always. The colours and designs are brilliant. Heather

  88. The quilt is wonderful. I have checked with the places in the USA for your pattern, and they said they have not heard of it. But will keep their eyes and ears opened. I will be checking back with them in a few days to see if anymore information is available. You are talented, the bag is nice too. I have been keeping up the BOMs and doing doubles because they are so much fun to do and quick. Thanks..Oh, by the way, I have been making posts but none have been posted I was wondering if I was doing something wrong.?? Trying again..maybe I’m signed in wrong?

  90. This quilt is an absolute delight. Brings a smile to my face everytime I look at those little guys. Whimsical and fun! Keep creating!

  93. I would love to make your charming little elves part of my Christmas in July stitching …Congrats on another great pattern

  94. I love the red fabrics that you have used to entwine all of those oddly cute elves. A Merry Christmas i would be under this quilt.

  96. Your quilts are so beautiful, and I adore the new ELF quilt and have been phoning around to get it..sniff sniff to no avail..I would love to win one of your patterns and hopefully the ELF will be one of them.

  98. Hi Gail, Lovely quilt, as always … those elves are so cute and love the red/white look. Its on the list!! Cheers Sue

  99. Oh the elves are adorable!! Can you tell me the volume and issue number of the country threads magazine so that I can be sure to buy the right one? Thanks…we get them late here so I need a clue about the cover to be sure I order the correct one.

  109. I love your Christmas BOM. They are beautiful. You have me trying my hand at stitching. Thanks!

  110. I love Christmas Quilt and this quilt is so beautiful !!!

  118. Love the elves and the quilt! Hope I win the pattern–if not I’ll have to send all the way to Australia for it! You have such wonderful designs.

  121. You are so right- if one could be a busy little elf there might just be time to make this delightful quilt for Christmas – those elves have a cheeky little grin – the red and white makes it!

  132. The Elf quilt just looks so great and just in time for me to buy and do for christmas. It is a must have to go with the other christmas quilt you designed. Can never have too much christmas decor. Wendy
