Anne of Green Gables Christmas Quilt - Free Pattern

This Anne of Green Gables Quilt is as simple and timeless as the beloved books by L.M. Montgomery.  Make your own with this free pattern.  Big thanks to Riley Blake Designs for sending me fabric from their Anne of Green Gables Christmas collection by Penny Rose Fabrics that's just hitting stores in the last month or so.  And as always, thanks to Fairfield World for providing me with batting and compensating me for this post.  All ideas, opinions, and enthusiasm are 100% my own.  This post contains affiliate links to help support my work.

I know it's a bit early for working on Christmas projects...but let's be serious.  Starting now, is the only way I get Christmas sewing done before the mad rush.

Anne of Green Gables was one of my favorite book series in middle school, and Gilbert Blythe from the first two Anne of Green Gables movies was my first celebrity crush.  So I was SUPER excited to hear about this year's Anne of Green Gables Christmas fabric collection, and new I needed to make a quilt...but not just any quilt...a quilt worthy of Anne herself and one that I could imagine on her bed at Green Gables or in her cozy House of Dreams.

After looking through some vintage quilt inspiration, I came across this quilt made by Jane Austen and the other women in her family.  I thought even though Anne herself did not like patchwork...she might have been willing to make a quilt fashioned after a pioneer of English women's literature.

Cosplay Quality Harry Potter Wizard Robe with Cuddle Suede

This Harry Potter Cosplay Robe will be much more than just a Halloween Costume.  The luxurious Cuddle Suede fabrics make it feel "real" instead of just for dress up.  (Disclaimer:  Shannon Fabrics sent me this amazing fabric for free, but all opinions, idea, and enthusiasm are entirely my own.

In this case, I made a robe for my little Ravenclaw.  It features Cuddle® Suede Black for the outer robe and lined the hood and sleeves with Cuddle® Suede Navy for the perfect Ravenclaw look.

Warm enough to keep the chill out on Halloween and with an authentic drape that makes it great for wearing to your local ComicCon.

You can check out my details for where to get the pattern and how we modified it to make the Cosplay Harry Potter Robe on Sewciety, the Shannon Fabrics blog.
