Welcome to the Winter Haven Project Hop!

I’m thrilled to be participating in the Winter Haven Project Hop, celebrating Winter Haven, the newest fabric collection by Rachel Rossi of @designsbyrr for Benartex.

Winter Haven was inspired by peaceful winter landscapes, woodland wildlife, and the cozy feeling of creating something by hand during the colder months. Filled with deer, owls, evergreens, berries, mushrooms, and soft seasonal florals, it’s a collection that’s just as beautiful for holiday sewing as it is for projects you’ll enjoy all winter long.

Throughout the hop, talented makers are sharing quilts, bags, home décor, and other creative projects made with Winter Haven. Every stop offers a new idea and a fresh way to use the collection.

Disclosure: Some of the items in this blog post were generously provided by Benartex Fabrics.

About My Willow Table Runner Pattern

This table runner is perfect for the fabrics. It is a pattern that is ideal for intermediate level quilters and makes any table shine. I can’t wait for the holidays to roll around so I can display it.

The pattern is available in my Etsy shop in both paper and digital (PDF) versions. As a thank you for joining the blog hop you can use the promo code WILLOWHOP to get 20% of off the digital version.

Because I make so many items for my blog and YouTube videos I often sell them. I have no space left! However, I love the way this runner turned out and it isn’t going anywhere.

Thank you to Rachel Rossi and Benartex for providing the fabrics so I could participate in the blog hop.

Happy Quilting! – Claudia
