We just adore Pat Sloan. Not only is she a true industry icon and one of our original Aurifil champions, she is also an absolute joy to work with. She has written over 30 books, has designed hundreds of quilts and quilt patterns, has put together countless fabric collections for companies like Moda and Benartex, curates thread collections for Aurifil, manages the largest quilting group on Facebook, and somehow still has time to share weekly videos, orchestrate inspiring online events, and even actually quilt! She is a tireless crusader for quilting and sewing education and is generally seen as an inspiration to all;). So… we love Pat. Pat is just amazing.
Today we have the distinct pleasure of celebrating her new book release! Holiday Celebrations (Martingale/That Patchwork Place) is a beautifully curated collection of 17 easy quilting projects for a variety of seasonal occasions.
Pat has put together a wonderfully rich selection of projects, including everything from full quilts to table runners, wall hangings to Halloween accessories! Her patterns are masterfully constructed, truly like a quilty education. This is where Pat shines. Her passion for sharing her craft with the world comes through in her writing and her patterns are notoriously easy to follow, even for beginners. We’re delighted to share a few of our favorites below!
Welcome Home by Pat Sloan 
Hello, Autumn by Pat Sloan 
Sparklers by Pat Sloan 
Merry Little Houses by Pat Sloan 
Hello, Luv! by Pat Sloan
Aurifil’s own Kate Brennan jumped at the chance to create a project from Pat’s book and we’re delighted to welcome her here to Auribuzz today! Thank you, Kate!
I had the opportunity to pick a pattern from Pat’s new book, Holiday Celebrations. I chose the Liberty Hill pattern but only made 3 blocks for a table runner. I dug through my stash and decided the Dear Stella I had been holding for something special was perfect.
The blocks went together really well. Pat, as always, gives excellent instructions and I would have saved myself a bunch of time if I had read them all the way through before starting my first block – I really should know better by now! As I was piecing them, I realized the opportunity for fussy cutting that 6” center square – I already have fabric pulled for a whole quilt as shown in the book or maybe even bigger. The block finishes at 15” x 15” which is a really nice size for a large bed quilt.
The only real problem I had while putting this together was keeping the pooches out of the way for the photos!
I used thread from the Pompeii, Como, and African Penguin Color Builder thread collections and since I have been practicing my free motion quilting lately, I decided to add a little interest. The 50wt (I used blue and red) thread creates really nice texture in the background without overpowering the adorable prints and the 40wt is a little heavier and added a little more detail in the stars. I used a wool batting to give even more texture!
HUGE thanks to Kate for lending her expert eye to this project. We are so fortunate to have some very talented makers on staff!!

Having sewn since she was a child and quilted for over 20 years, Pat eventually looked to her craft as a business.

I love Merry Little Houses. Love house quilts and would be an adorable table runner or smaller wall quilt. I use Aurifil threads for quilting and cross-stitching. Beautiful colors and to work with.
The small table runner looked so nice may need to see one up
Having just come back to quilting after a long absence, one of the biggest changes is that Aurifil threads are the new best thing! I had no idea there was a blog, so that is a big bonus find for me.
Back to the question, I sure love making holiday projects and Christmas projects as well as autumn projects are always a hit. I have loved seeing how everyone has made Pat’s projects there own by changing the project slightly (like making the runner). I would definitely make a Christmas project first.
My grands all have started their own homes I love making them Christmas items. But this year the liberty hill patriotic theme
I like be to make Christmas quilts!!
My husband and I are fulltime RVers, but I love decorating seasonally, so I usually do that with quilted table toppers and banners! I love it all … patriotic, hearts, autumn, summer, snow (yes … we live in the south and I celebrate snow!!) birthdays, Easter, Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas! Seems to me that all of these cute designs could be used in one way or another for my purposes … but I really love the X’s and O’s! 🙂
I really like all the projects that Pat has shared with us. Since 4th of July is just around the corner, I’d like to make the Welcome Home wall hanging as my first from her book project.
I can’t decide which project I like the most. All are great!
I am going to start with Hello Autumn. Moving into a new home with my daughter, Autumn, so this seems perfect. But, I have to admit, I get excited with a few other projects I’ve seen too!

I love making Christmas projects and Merry Little Houses is wonderful!
I’ve been quilting since the 1970s, and boy, has thread come a long way since then. I was introduced to Aurifil through a sew-along with the Fat Quarter Shop. It’s the only thread I use now. As for a holiday project from Pat’s book, I would first do the Christmas table runner that has the red and white circular pinwheels on the ends. It’s charming!
Christmas houses with pockets for Windows, add an extra row and 24 days for advent.
I love seasonal quilts. I would make liberty hill today!
I like all of the patterns and would start with the bunny pattern.
I like all of Pat’s patterns and would start with the bunny pattern.

I’d enjoy making the bags design with boo, sparkle, or with a house. So many ideas it would be fun.
I have the stockings on my list. I’ve needed to do some for a while and the are the perfect ones!
I just adore the carrot table runner. It’s a must sew! I also love your thread. I tried others when I first started quilting then tried yours. What a difference!
I love making patriotic and Christmas projects! I am looking forward to making the sparklers quilt and Liberty hill❤️
Love the X’s and O’s topper!
the Liberty Hill quilt is my favorite project in Pat’s new Holiday Celebrations book.
I just fall with all it’s cooler weather and the leaves changing color. Would enjoy making a fall leaf quilt for my table.
Love the quilt topper you did. And the quilt from Pat’s book.
I would love to make the Liberty Hill quilt!
Hello, Aurifill!
I would love to do, “Hello, Autumn,” as a complete quilt. I am a nature-loving, tree-hugging, hiker! I have planted two maple trees on my property in the last few years, and that quilt block is a perfect representation of my life and passions.
May I take this opportunity to thank you? Quilting was made so much easier for me when I tried your thread for the first time. I am a hand sewer and quilter, so getting a thread that is both strong and yet, flexible, is so important. Your website was informative and guided my selections – and as a person surrounded by machine sewers, I sometimes felt a bit alone. I’ve discovered that there are thousands of quilters like me, and that you are there for us with quality threads for every purpose.
Thank you!
Joni Jecklin
I would like to make holiday home, changing out the flag to a Canadian flag, as I live in Ontario, Canada.

I love the idea of Liberty Hill as a table runner, but my first project has to be the Christmas Stockings.
I like how you used just three of the Liberty Hill pattern blocks to make a table runner. Since I need to make a Christmas table runner for a family member, I think that pattern is what I would make with Christmas fabrics.
Pat Sloan’s new book is full of cute projects and I like them all. My first project would be the bunny pillow, so cute!
I seem to change my mind everyday…love the autumn leaves. Throw in the purple reds and golds
All of the patterns are so beautiful. At first it was the house block quilt, but I really love the welcome home wall hanging so I think i will start with that.
I am feeling patriotic with Independence Day right around the corner, so I would make the Sparklers quilt first. FMQ with Aurifil 40 weight, of course!
The houses – definitely the houses!!
I really want to make the Sparkler quilt! My favorite holiday to make decorations for is 4th of July!

Hello, Autumn or the carrot table runner will be the first projects. Fall/Thanksgiving is my favorite time of year but I just love those carrots!
So many great patterns but my current fav is Sparklers.
Quilts are my favorite to make.
I would love to make the carrot table runner. Your little runner is so cute.
The Liberty Hill pattern catches my eye, and I hope to make it soon. Wonderful thread — so popular among the quilting community.
I want to use her design for a heart, I always find them first when I am looking at patterns, but I love your pictures here for a table runner, it is beautiful.
I love the carrot table runner. I’m a retired teacher so never had time to do very many Easter projects. I would love this book. Pat Sloan is a great teacher.
I love sewing for all holidays — any excuse to make another quilt! Although Christmas is my favorite holiday to sew for, the first quilt I want to make from Pat’s book is the hearts quilt. Going to. Are it for my granddaughter for her birthday in July. She loves pink!
I’m really loving this book tour. Seeing everyone’s projects made up in different sizes & colors. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but I think my first project from the book will be the Xs & Os little quilt.
Love your thread. Pat’s new book has lots of cute projects I’d like to make. Liberty Hill is my favorite.
I love the runner you made. Very nice thread!
I love to make Christmas projects and love the peppermint table runner in Pat’s book.
I love making Halloween projects!
My favorite holiday project to make is table runners. I can see the Liberty Hill table runner as a versatile option for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Winter holidays too. Those center squares make for a great fussy cutting option, nicely done, it’s gorgeous. Thanks for including the Perfect Little Box of Neutrals with Pat’s new book. I enjoy sewing with Aurifil thread (and so does my sewing machine); the color selection is amazing, the finish is silky, consistent and it really is low lint. Thanks for producing a quality thread product!
LOVE Liberty Hill, especially with the dark background!!
I want to make the carrot table runner.
I love the heart quilt. It’s my favorite of the collection with the hello autumn coming in a close second.
I would love to make the heart quilt for my mom!
I really like your table runner adaptation of the Liberty Hill block and can see it used for almost any holiday or color scheme. Since fall is my favorite season for quilting projects, I’d like to make a table runner with warm fall hues.
I love anything leaves and hearts.
I have been answering Liberty Hill as I have been entering the contests, but now I have to say Liberty Hill as a table runner. I love the table runner you made.
The Liberty Hill pattern would make a lovely tablerunner for Christmas or any holiday.

Each day I change my mind about what I want to make first! I love your idea of making a table runner – I might do one in Christmas fabric.
I would love to make Welcome Home! I love houses and flags!! Great combination!!
So many lovely patterns, hard to choose just one.
I would like to make the Fall Leaves Table Topper. SO cute!
Love the Peppermint table runner & hope to make it, but I am also eye-ing Sparklers, as it looks very do-able.
I love the Welcome Home wall hanging. So cute.
Favorite projects are Christmas ones, but I have quite a bit of patriotic fabric in my stash. I see a tablerunner in my future. Thanks for sharing your inspiration in the book.
The fall leaves table runner would be my first pick, followed by the houses in fall colors.
I love the heart quilt.
I love Aurifil thread and would love to win your give away! The pretty carrot table runner caught my eye. Thanks for the chance to win!
I think the leaves are my favorite. Fall in browns and gold’s would look charming on the table, door or as a lap quilt on the couch. All the different colors of thread would bring out the leaf veins and make them dimensional. Can’t wait! Thank you for all the ideas.
My favorite project to make would be the little houses as a table topper as I have yet to do a house quilt.
I love Liberty Hill. My first project will be the fall leaves.
I think I would start with Merry little houses and then just try all th e other patterns, maybe as a sampler quilt

I like the maple leaf runner pattern.
I love all of the projects in Pat’s book and am having a hard time deciding what to do first! I also love Aurifil thread!!
I would love to make the Fat Carrots tablerunner for my vegetarian friend.

Autumn leaves table mat is the first project from the book.

I love to make table runners for all the holidays.

I saw an Aurifil presentation at Danners in Hanover PA & found it to be very informative.

Right now I’m appreciating everything red, white & blue as July 4th is approaching.

The Maple leaves! A table runner. I can just imagine a cascade of color on my table.

Even though I love the little table runner that Kate made and I will probably make one sometime for a holiday using 3 of those great stars from Pat’s pattern, I think today I am wanting to make the little Easter bunny with the chubby carrots. Sometimes it is hard to find cute things that I like for Easter so I know I will make this one. Thank you for the opportunity to get a book. Then I can make all of the projects as I want them!

My favorite holiday has always been Christmas, but after seeing such cute and fun items for July 4th and Halloween I cannot quite decide! So no matter the holiday or season it is always fun to be sewing and quilting.
After Liberty Hill I want to make Merry little houses – maybe with Halloween fabric!
Such hard choices but my favorite holiday project is the Trick or Treat bags but make it with glow-in-the-dark threads! What fun for the kids and a safety project as well…
I would like to make Merry Little Houses or the Halloween treat bags.

How can you love just one holiday? But Halloween is my fav.
