Commissions are open for the Holiday Season!
It is time to start dreaming up your Holiday Quilt Commissions. I know what you are thinking: “Wait a minute, it is still summer time! How could I possibly start thinking about the holidays?!” While the dog days of summer are still upon us, now IS the time to start planning for the holidays when it comes to quilted commissions.
While it still is several months away, once my commissions fill up and my time is all booked, that’s it. So I wanted to let the Good Witch Family know in advance to fill out project request forms for any holiday projects before it is too late.
Wintertime and quilts go hand in hand: they are like hot chocolate and fireplaces. If you don’t have a quilt, then you will be missing out on one of the best parts of the cold months: getting cozy and warm indoors! While conventional, mass produced, big box store blankets may keep you physically warm, they don’t contain an essential component that is critical to wintertime success. Handmade quilts (by either your grandmother or from Good Witch Quilts) are not only made with multiple layers of cozy batting and soft fabric, but are also made with love. Yes, love! There is something about stitching with love that allows for extra coziness and warmth per square inch.
At Good Witch Quilts, we are all about the magical nature behind our material goods (we are Good Witches, after all). Feeling skeptical? Consider this: when you buy impersonal things from the store, how do you typically treat them? Let’s take a t-shirt from Walmart and a shirt your received by making a donation to a charity you believe in. Which shirt do you wear to mow the lawn? Which shirt would you leave crinkled at the bottom of the hamper? Which shirt would you spend extra time folding to admire the logo? Which shirt would you spend extra time on to remove a stain? While the two shirts might appear similar, one has more meaning to you and hence, your relationship with it is dramatically different. That is the magic that I am talking about!
Now that you understand why quilts are an essential part of the winter season and how items with intention can infuse magic in your life, here is a list of several quilted projects that would be great for the holiday season:
1. A Christmas Quilt
2. Quilted Mittens
3. Quilt Ornaments
4. A Santa Pillow
5. A Holiday Art Quilt
6. Quilted Stockings
7. A Festive Table Runner
8. Quilted Oven Mits
9. A Quilted Robe
10. Quilted Christmas Tree Skirt
11. Quilted Coasters
12. A Set of Quilted Placemats
