Quilts and Christmas are the perfect blend. This is a quilting-arts book for creative sewists who love and cherish the poem "The Night Before Christmas." This book commemorates the 200th anniversary of the writing in 1822 and publication in 1823 of this most notable holiday poem. The poem has provided 10 generations of children with delight and anticipation of Christmas. The poem, illustrated with 29 festive quilted scenes, offers a beautiful-to-read family experience, and nine antique and vintage quilts are patterned here, with complete instructions, to inspire today's quiltmakers to create their own holiday bed coverings. The nine patterns are appropriately named after the eight reindeer and, of course, Rudolph. Some patterns are re-creations from old, traditional quilt designs, while others put a modern spin on a vintage design. Some patterns can be hand-pieced, while others use fast, new, rotary-cutting techniques.

When the Quilts of Valor Foundation was founded in 2003, its mission was to cover our nation's military touched by war—that is, to cover them with quilts and honor their service. A volunteer team donate their time and materials to make a quilt collaboratively. Since its beginning, this all-volunteer organization with close to 8,000 members nationwide has awarded more than 200,000 Quilts of Valor. This book explains the history of military quilts since our nation's beginning, and features a Quilt of Valor to represent each of our 50 states. Also included are 16 quilt patterns to choose from, to inspire you to make your own Quilt of Valor. The organization's Under Our Wings project, which brings young people into Quilts of Valor and encourages them to learn to sew, is featured, too.

Big as it is in spirit and scale, Texas simply can’t be contained in a single issue. With nearly 270,000 square miles to its name, it’s a place where a drive across the state can easily take a full day. From within that expanse, we turn our focus to the Greater Houston area—a region rich with layered histories, global influences, and deeply rooted creative communities. At the center is Houston, the largest city in Texas. Known as Space City for its enduring connection to NASA and space exploration, Houston is also one of the most diverse cities in the country, with more than 145 languages spoken across its neighborhoods. As a global energy hub, most people you meet will share some connection to one of the hundreds of oil and gas companies based here. Beneath the downtown Houston streets, an underground tunnel system quietly connects the city’s core, while above ground, an ever-evolving food scene of more than 11,000 restaurants reflects generations of migration, memory, and shared tables. The region stretches far beyond the city itself. To the east, Galveston Bay meets the Gulf, rich with artists, sailors, and, of course, quilters. With no hills to interrupt the view, the landscape opens into vast, unobstructed horizons. North toward Kingwood and south through Brazoria, the landscape shifts—from dense urban streets to tree-lined neighborhoods and open farmland. Each place adds its own rhythm and character, shaping a region that feels expansive yet deeply connected. Like a well-loved quilt, Greater Houston is made from many pieces: distinct in color and texture, rich with meaning, and stitched together by shared history and care. In this issue, we celebrate the makers who carry those stories forward—one block, one seam, one thoughtful stitch at a time.

Alaska is known as The Last Frontier for good reason. It’s more than twice the size of Texas, with landscapes that stretch from temperate rainforests to icy tundra. Towering mountains dominate the horizon, their snow-capped summits meeting the clouds. Seventeen of the 20 tallest peaks in the United States—including Denali, aka The Great One—call this land home. Rivers wind through deep valleys, glaciers glint in the sunlight, and vast forests fill with wind and wildlife, each corner offering its own breathtaking view. Water shapes this place, too. With more than 33,000 miles of shoreline, Alaska’s coasts touch the Arctic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the Bering Sea. Along those shores and across the forests and tundra, wildlife thrives—Kodiak bears, bald eagles, and puffins with their colorful beaks are just a few of the unforgettable residents. And then, there are the people. Alaska is home to 228 federally recognized tribes and to countless adventurers who carve out lives in remote communities. Like the state itself, Alaskans are resilient, resourceful, and endlessly creative. That spirit shows up in their quilting. Each quilt, like each community, tells a story of tradition, imagination, and a deep connection to the land. As you turn these pages, we invite you to explore Alaska’s patchwork of people, places, and artistry—stitched together into something unforgettable.
