2nd annual christmas shopping.

 
With Christmas only a few weeks away, I thought it would be a fun time to share with you some of my very favorite online shops.  Each one ran by a dear friend who invests her heart into each pattern and product she creates.
Our first stop is the queen of cute, Lori Holt's shop : Busy Bee Inc.  There are several different quilt, table topper, wall hanging, and home decor patterns available.  Including Quilty Fun Lessons in Scrappy Patchwork - which currently is part of a super fun quilt along.  In addition, there are some great sets of rulers designed by Lori.
Our next stop is Allison Harris's fabulous pattern shop : Cluck Cluck Sew.  Allison's patterns are one of my very favorite.  Her instructions are so well illustrated and written.  Allison is offering a 40% discount to my readers through December 2nd.  Just enter discount code : Thanks40!  Thanks so much Al!!
 
 
Vintage Grey is such a lovely shop.  Each vintage item Heather re-purposes tends to tug at my heart.  Heather specializes in creating pillow covers, tea towels, clothespin bags, pot holders, hankies, and table runners using vintage fabrics in addition to the charming touches of crochet, embroidery, and sewing with current fabrics.  So precious!
My dear friend Kathy at Hens in Daisies has brought some sparkle into Christmas with these elegant stockings!  They look beautiful from either side!  Add a glimmery bow, brooch or ornament for even more glam.  Measuring 16" from top to heel and approx. 6" wide.  Kathy has currently listed them on sale!
Clover and Violet is a precious mother daughter team who design many different types of bag patterns.  Super cute diaper bags, handbags, purses and clutches!  All available in pdf.
Happy Little Cottage is a shop overflowing with charm.  Debbie creates the sweetest baby gift sets, baby quilts, mug rugs, buntings/banners, pillow covers, pincushions, and table runners. I just love everything she makes!!
Donna's Lavender Nest is a lovely on-line fabric shop that carries a beautiful selection of Lecien, Riley Blake, Moda, Lakehouse, Windham, Tanya Whelan, Quilt Gate, Atsuko Matsuyama, and other adorable Reproductions.  Donna is just the sweetest and offers excellent service!
In addition, Donna is carrying the 
latest Pam Kitty Morning Picnic prints!  So cute!
Stitch by Stitch is a longarm quilting company, ran by my dear friend Kathy.  Kathy has wonderfully quilted many of my quilts and I love each and every one!  She offers 20% off your first quilt and free return shipping on all US quilts.  In addition, Kathy runs monthly specials.  
Most recently Kathy quilted a very special quilt of mine, for a very precious little angel.  Little Miss Grace Anne was born on Tuesday, the 26th.  Here I am with my sweet birth-daughter, Valerie, on skype the very next day!
I can hardly wait to snuggle Miss Grace in her new little quilt.  Thank you Kathy, for the charming touches you added to Grace's quilt.  I absolutely love it!! 
And last but not least, 
my little shop, natnkat
Thank you for visiting today.  Several years ago I read "don't buy from robots" and I smile every time I recall it.  I hope you will check out the different shops shown, for your Christmas shopping needs.  xoxo
