Every quilter meets the same problem come October. The sewing room is the chilliest room in the house, the quilt on the frame is nowhere near finished enough to wrap up in, and the cardigan on the back of the chair slides off every time you reach for the iron. Plush Quilter Hoodies is our answer: soft, roomy hoodies carrying the Chic Quilter designs we love most, so you can stay warm without ever setting down the rotary cutter. Think of each one as a quilt you are allowed to wear to the mailbox.
Machines riding the waves
Most of this collection belongs to the sea. In Tidal Threads a sewing machine sits among swirling blue water under a patchwork sunburst, and in Surfing the Fabric Sea the machine rides the swell beneath a bright orange sun like a seasoned surfer. Seam Surfing fits a crescent moon and a sun into one round sky, Sewing Tides sets a turquoise machine beside a pale quilted moon, and Quilting the Current tucks one between a glowing sun and rolling stitched waves. Threaded Dreams by the Sea spins the whole scene into a medallion that looks ready to be appliqued onto a wall hanging.
Sunrises, clouds and a little mountain air
For the early risers, Morning Muse and Sunset Dream Threads paint a sun coming up over rainbow water, and Wake Up and Quilt adds the invitation in cheerful script above a sunburst. Today is a Good Day to Quilt and its sister, Today is a Good Day to Sew, perch the machine on a fluffy cloud of pieced color. Quilting on a Cloud lets a rainbow ribbon of patchwork drift off into the sky, while Alpine Stitching trades color for crisp white line work: a machine standing among snowy peaks and pine trees, drawn like an old woodcut.
For the loud and the cozy
Some of these come with a little more attitude. Quilt Riot, Quilter's Chaos Powerburst and Quilt Graffiti Piece Patrol spray the word QUILT across the front pocket in bold graffiti letters, bright enough to be read from the far end of the guild hall. Meow pairs a red machine with a white cat and a glass of red wine, and My Favorite Things lists its priorities in pictures: a machine, a bottle of red and a fluffy white dog asleep at its feet. Honestly, that is a complete Saturday.
For the quilter who sews in her slippers
These are for the friend whose basement studio always runs a few degrees behind the rest of the house, the night owl who sews with the radio on long after everyone has gone to bed, and the retreat regular who has learned that every retreat center is freezing by nine. Picture her pulling one on over her pajamas and heading straight to the cutting table before breakfast. That is exactly the point. Just have her check the hood before she puts it on. Quilters have been known to lose a pincushion in there for days.
