Welcome to my stop on the WinterKist blog hop. If this is your first time visiting my blog, I hope you will enjoy what you see and come back to visit often. Thanks to Katie for organizing this wonderful hop and inviting me to join. I am very honored to be included in this hop and to be able to work with these wonderful, new Lecien fabrics designed by Monica Solorio-Snow, The Happy Zombie.
I have made this trio of coordinating Home Dec accessories with the fabric. I am so glad Katie sent me this color scheme. I just love the white, greys and black with it's pops of raspberry and pink! Be sure to check out the other posts to see all the colors available in this fabric.
I made another of Nova's wonderful nesting fabric bowls. I loosely followed the pattern for the 7" size bowl. It is a good sized bowl that I can use for bread or rolls on my Christmas buffet.
I think it looks great combined with Essex Linen in the putty color and top-stitched with a heavier weight thread in raspberry.
I knew I wanted to make two pillows and so I decided to make two patterns I have never made before. Can you believe I have never made a disappearing 9 patch block? It's a beginner's block, right? Who knew it would look so great in these fabrics? The only fabric I added to this range was the grey polka dot. Then the Gnome found a perfect home in the corner of this 20" pillow. I quilted it in a simple grid with stitch lines about 3/4" of an inch apart.
The other block that I have never made is a Dresden plate. This one was so easy, too, using the Dresden plate ruler. I asked my friend, Susan Canadian Abroad for ideas on how to hand quilt it. In the end, I got lazy and just did some echo quilting with the sewing machine, following the lines of the Dresden plate. I wish I would have listened to Susan because I am not as fond of this pillow as the other. This one is also 20".
So there you have it. My little trio of WinterKist Home Dec accessories.

very cute di! love the cushions!
I love the Dresden plate cushion in this fabric! So bright and cheerful!
Your projects are adorable. I love the way all the circles and the snowflakes interact in the disappearing nine patch. Thanks for sharing!
Well, if I had known it was a Christmas pillow I would have tried for a quilting pattern that turned your dresden into a snowflake. But I do think you are being too hard on yourself as the cushion is gorgeous, as is the D9P one and the basket. Great fabric used by a great quilter.
Love the gray and pink combo!
I have never thought gray and pink go so well together!:)

Wow they are gorgeous, love, love, love. I must buy that basket pattern, I've seen you use it before and love it!
All your creations are lovely! How lovely to have Christmas fabrics in fresh new colours!
The fabrics look very pretty and I love what you did with them!
I like this color combination! The pillows look great together.
Oh I love your projects and the fabric is just great for it!
I love the disappearing 9 patch! Your quilting really fits the cushion design!!
Gorgeous!! I love the gnoma pillow the best but only because it has the gnoma on it.
You have done a great job and all your projects are wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
These are the cutest accessories! Love the colors you chose.
All 3 looks great, I love all the bright colours in this line :o)
Oh so yummy!! I love fabric baskets and these fabrics looking amazing :)
I love the colors you chose!!!
Cute colors together; I love the fabric bowl, and the raspberry topstitching is fantastic. Thanks!
They are gorgeous Di - and like you, I LOVE the colour scheme!!
Love disappearing nine patch! I've also never made one...this fabric looks great!
o very beautiful, love the color combo you chose. so pretty this fabric! thanks for the chance to win. have a nice day!
All three items will be great additions to your home. Very nice.
Love the fabric. So pretty
Great fabrics!
I love, love the dresden plate cushion!!
Love the disappearing 9 pillow - grays and pinks are perfect together.
So adorable - Love the gnome!
Your projects are lovely - who would think those colors would work so well?! this has been such a fun blog hop - so many creative folk out there. Thanks.
Brilliant! Love your creations! That's one fab line, isn't it? Just lovely prints and colors to choose from.
Loving the fabric, of course! But that bowl is fantastic, and it stores so easy that it might fit in my cupboard!
they look so cute all together! I love the look of the disappearing 9 patch for the pillow
Your Pillows are AWESOME!!! You are sooo Talented...love the things you create! (wish you were my neighbor! Know we'd have such fum! lol)
LOVE the lil' Gnome guy from Winterkist! He is soooo cute!
love those colors together and the cute buckets
I love the bowl! The Dresden plate pillow that you say you're not as happy with - you might like it more if you change the shape of the pillow to echo the plate (so either a round pillow or a hexagon). Then it would have a more Christmas wreath vibe to it. Just a thought. :) You did very nice work.
They're all gorgeous! Well done! And thanks for the chance to win. :)
All gorgeous!! I love Nova's pattern for the fabric bowls, I think i'm going to have to make more now :)
These are great projects. I can't wait for this line to show up in stores!!
They all look great! Really love the 9 patch pillow. Wonderful job.
Your projects are wonderful. I especially like the pillow with the gnome on it.
I've always liked grey and pink together but I can't see them as Christmas colors. I guess I'm still too traditional. Still, the fabrics are lovely and I like your projects for the whole rest of the year.
The Winterkist looks fabulous in these colourways with the grey, great choice! Love the pillows but that basket is just adorable, especially the pink quilting thread.
These are wonderful. I especially love your pillow with the gnome on it. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, I really love the dresden pillow! So pretty! I think I need to do something in my living room, I'm sick of the ugly pillows going on here. =) The problem is everyone throws them on the floor or to the side, except me. I don't know if my labors would be in vain or not. =)
Oh I'm a massive cushion pixie! I love love love them! The gnoma sets yours off perfectly and the other design is very captivating! Well done!

I love your color choices.
I love the Dresden plate pillow. That would look great in my living room. Another "to do" project :)
Your projects are adorable, Di. I too have never done a disappearing 9 patch and was just thinking about it last week.
Love your little trio of projects. Thanks for participating in the hop.
You really made a great assortment of items! The basket is so useful and so cute, and I love seeing the little gnoma on the cushion. :)
i LOVE the pillows! Might be my favorite colors of this collection, they look wonderful!!
Diane, You did a wonderful job on all those little goodies! I love how you mixed it with the linen and popped the colors. The dot fabric was the icing. :) Cute bowl pattern. I can't wait to make one myself. I think if I were to be a lucky winner, I really want to make the bowl and the pillow. Oh so cute! Thank you for all your creativity and sharing with us. :)
They look great. Love the colour palette
So cute!!
Love all of your projects, so cute!
I love the dresden plate pillow!
Great ideas ! Love the colors and all 3 projects were perfect choices...I especially liked the dresden!
I love fabric bowls. Maybe I'll make one sometime soon. I have no idea what I'd use them for, but they are neat!
You have been busy creating some really great projects with that fun fabric. That gnome is just too cute. thanks for sharing.
Your projects are so cute - and the color combination is different from the prior projects. This would be wonderful with silver decorations. Thanks for the Winterkist post.
I love all of your Winterkist projects! The DP9 might just be my fave, but I'm inspired to try them all :)
Beautiful work. I love the colors! Thank you so much for sharing!
Gray and pink for the holidays? Who would have thought it would look so lovely? I just surprised myself Saturday by buying four pieces of Robert Kaufman's Christmas line in PURPLE!!! Sparkly purple! Bring on the holidays!
beautiful work
FANTASTIC projects! I love that you were able to make so many lovely items! Thank you so much for being part of the blog hop :-)

Great idea to make pillows using block patterns you've never made before. These turned out great. I love the colors in the WinterKist line. Thanks for sharing.
I would never have thought to put the putty linen with this, and I love it. I will definitely be thinking of it know. Glad to have found your blog, and I'm having fun rambling through it.
Love the combination of colors!
Love the combination of colors!
I like that your pillows are coordinated but very different. I think I may have to try a disappearing 9-patch too.
Great idea for a holiday bread basket! Really, I didn't even recognize the line in your stuff at all until I saw the gnoma, it reads so darn versatile I just figured you hadn't gotten to the winterkist project yet!
Very pretty fabrics! I just love the projects you made. Gorgeous ...thanks for the chance to win some fabric of my own. I'm going to go check out the rest of your blog now!
Love the fabric and the pillows!
I love this line of fabric. I have seen fun bubble projects, classy project and Christmas. It's so much fun! eatkin85@yahoo.com
Love your pillows. The dresden is my favorite. This fabric is adorable.
I really love that 9 patch pillow. The grey dot was a perfect addition.
Your WinterKist Home Dec accessories are adorable. I have some of Monica's fabric and love the pink and grays. Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing in the WinterKist blog hop! Have a wonderful day! Pauline
I think those are all really sweet. I like that Winterkist is not over-the-top holiday, and your accessories are an excellent use for the fabric!
Cute projects! I'm making my first Dresden plate this week too-they are fun to make.
HI! LOVE THESE DECOR ITEMS-ESPECIALLY THE BOWL! THANKS TO YOU + FQS FOR SHARING!

I am blown away by your projects! I never would have thought to pull out just the greys and pinks. So beautiful together! Thanks for the inspiration.
These are so sweet! I love how much you were able to stretch the fabric!
All your projects turned out great. I especially like the gnome pillow. I bet those nesting bowls are really useful too.
Love the color combination of pink and grey together! Also love the cute pillows & especially the bowl!

Very pretty!
Love all of them. Thanks for sharing & thanks for the giveaway.
Love the disappearing 9-patch pillow! soparkaveataoldotcom
I really like all three of those projects, those fabrics are really lovely. I think you could still add some hand stitches to the dresden pillow if you wanted to.
What a beautiful colorway, and your accessories are terrific! The gnome just finishes it right! Thanks for the chance to win!

Very cute projects. Love the fabric.
I really love the pillows! And the little gnoma peaking out is great!
Your projects are fantastic! I especially love the color combos, and the dresden design :)
I love the projects you completed with winterkist. I think my favorite is the pieced pillow, that gnoma is so cute in the corner!
I love your projects - and the colors! The Winterkist fabric is AWESOME and the fabric you added made it shine. I'm sure I'll be making one (or more) of the stackable bowls soon.
The bowls are fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
what beautiful items! i love this colorway - it's wintery, but could work year round too with those black & white prints.
Your grand daughter is beautiful. How lucky you both are to be able to sew together. I love the D9P for a cute, easy quilt in between more complicated projects.
Love your projects! Thanks!
I love your ideas and choice of colors. Boy do I need to get to work!!
Love your Dresden pillow! Great colors and fabric!
You did a great job with your color combination. The pillow turned out great. Thanks for sharing.
Loving your pillows and the bowl. Great use of the fabric. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me.
