HO HO HO! It's Blitzen by BasicGrey for Moda!

Yes, it's Christmas in August!  Christmas has arrived early at Country Quilts and Bears!  Day after day the UPS truck has been unloading box after box, and we ran out of room to stash our Christmas fabrics, sooooooo since the cat's away, the mice decided it was time to play!!!  We have pulled all the Christmas fabric out of the boxes and we moved the existing fabric around the store to make room for the new.  We can't wait for you all to come by and see the loot!  We are quite sure that a visit to our little corner of the North Pole will be just what you need to get your creative juices flowing.  We are confident that this year will be the year that we ALL are ready for Christmas early!!!

The Blitzen quilt kit which you see above was designed by BasicGrey and is beautifully boxed by Moda.  It will make a fabulous gift for a quilter or an excellent addition to your very own Christmas decor.  Blitzen is just one of the many surprises we found under our tree...

Oh, and there are only 143 days until Christmas, so get sewing quilters!!!  HO HO HO!
