Winter Haven Holiday Blog Hop

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.

My Project

I decided to make the Tabitha Tote. It is a pattern that I designed that is perfect to fill all of your holiday goodies in. It has several pockets, zippers and a fun design. The Winter Haven fabrics are perfect for this bag and look lovely on it. You can find my pattern on my website https://www.quirkyb.com/product-page/tabitha-tote-zippered-and-gusseted-tote-with-several-pockets. As a thank you for following us during this blog hop, I am offering a free Tabitha Tote pdf pattern as a giveaway to the grand prize winner. The winner will receive a code to download the pattern for free.
