We had such a great time introducing you to some of our designers from Best Christmas Quilts 2012 and they were thrilled to see so many new faces on their blogs! We wanted to take this opportunity to give a shout-out to our other fabulous contributors from the issue:
Peppermint Kisses by Darlene Zimmerman, 60" x 69"
Darlene Zimmerman’s Peppermint Kisses is the perfect addition to anyone’s home this year. This traditional pineapple block is super easy to piece with Darlene’s quick-corner technique. You can bring this quilt out for Christmas…and leave it out through Valentine’s Day!
Carol Streif's Cozy Cabins, 104" x 104"
Cozy Cabins by Carol Streif is sure to bring the warm comfort of Christmas where ever it goes. Hang this bed-size quilt on a big empty wall for decoration all year long, or keep it on the bed for snuggling on chilly winter nights. This tasteful quilt is bound to be the center of attention no matter how you decide to use it.
Tree of Life by Tina Curran, 42 1/2" x 49"
The seventh in a series, Tree of Life by Tina Curran was inspired by “The Tree of Life” (1909) by artist Gustav Klimt. This contemporary wall hanging is a fun twist on typical Christmas decor. Bias applique branches and a pieced border showcases Tina’s variety of scrappy fabrics.
Cathedral Window Ornaments by Barbara Campbell

Thanks, again! The fabric is beautiful, and much more than I was expecting. This blog tour was fun. I did not realize there were so many quilter bloggers out there, and this was a great way for me to expand my use of online resources for quilt enjoyment and inspiration.
Congrats to all the winners.
