GNOMES
Make your home a gnome sweet gnome! We just can’t seem to get enough of these cute little guys. There’s gnome ornaments, gnome mantel decor, gnome candy jars … these mythical creatures have been a growing trend around the holidays and we’re here for it!
Gnomes have been around in Nordic traditions for years and during the holiday season, children in Scandanivan countries often leave bowls of porridge outside for them during the Winter Solstice in the hopes that they might bring gifts, magic, or good fortune.
Add whimsy to your next quilting project with this cute trend!
TRUCKS
What’s more classic than a red vintage truck loaded up with a freshly cut pine tree? This holiday image reminds us of trips to the Christmas tree farm with the windows fogged up, sipping hot chocolate from a thermos, and singing carols.
And if you’re from the South, these vintage trucks take on a brand new meaning! Each holiday season, people clean up their cherished pickup trucks and decorate them with all the bells and whistles! Then, communities from all over hold "Pickup Parades" to show off their holiday styles, complete with colorful lights, wreaths, reindeer antlers, and even a big red nose!
Hop in and buckle up for a festive holiday with vintage truck fabrics!
BUFFALO CHECK
Snuggle up with buffalo check and make the season warm and cozy. The origins of this popular plaid design can be traced back to the mid-1800s and the owner of a woolen mill who owned a herd of buffalo. Worn by lumberjacks and basically everyone else with a sense of style, it’s a trend that has endured for well over a century.
This classic checkered fabric can be found on everything from trapper hats to button down shirts, and, of course, quilting fabric. It remains as popular as ever. We still wear it, decorate with it, and create with it.
