Santa Claus is coming to Cowtown... Decorate your home for
Christmas with a Western flair. Get started now with our Cowboy
Christmas book that has gift ideas, three quilts, tree ornaments
and cowboy boot stockings. Surround your old fashioned tree with
a Log Cabin tree skirt. Everything looks so good together, you’ll
want to keep it out all year long. Also in the book is a wonderful
story about a young man in the 1870's writing his mother and
sister, begging them to come out west for Christmas.
As a child growing up in Wichita,
Kansas, I remember being fascinated with the imagery of the West.
My fifth grade teacher asked me
to please stop drawing horses in the margins of my homework.
I would wear anything with fringe attached to it. My cousin Carol
Jo Kinnamon and I planned to never marry or have kids because
we had big dreams of owning a horse and cattle ranch in Arizona.
My favorite Christmas gifts were a pair of six shooters with
a holster and a ranch set. No dolls for me! Carol Jo and I rode
the back roads of our grandparent’s farms, and at the age
of 10 or 12 we rode at midnight by the light of the moon and
stars. Well, we both got married and went our separate ways.
She is still a real cowgirl and horse breeder and I design quilts
and write about cowboys.
Sweetheart Bouquet
A cowboy boot makes a special vase for
the flowers a cowboy gives to his sweetheart. I found an old
frame and adjusted my design to fit. Find a frame approximately
13"X17" and adjust design to fit by shortening or lengthening
the stems of flowers. I used cowboy fabric for the neutral background.
To fit the theme of the cowboy comforter, I used red and black
for the boot.
Here's one little girl who
will "Lasso The Moon"
This little boy probably
started riding horses
when he was two or three years old.
"A COWBOY CHRISTMAS" has 10
projects total... every project you see on this page is included.
The "Bunkhouse Comforter" and Pillowslip (shown
on the cover) are two of them. Make a tied comforter for
all the little dudes at your Dude Ranch. Warm, easy and quick,
you don’t even have to bind! Also shown on the cover is
"Christmas Star" wall quilt. Four pieced red
and black trees form a star in the center surrounded by a border
of stars and horseshoes a quick gift for a brother, dad, grandson
or boyfriend.
