We are all hoping to find that special gift under the Christmas tree, but the featured quilt in the December 20, 2009 edition of the Start Your Week With a Quilt newsletter reminds us of the true spirit of Christmas.  Gifts of the Christmas Spirit was created by Rosalind Newell. 
 

This quilt, which measures 43 x 33 inches, consists of nine blocks of beautifully wrapped packages. On each gift, Rosalind has embroidered a word that reminds us of the true spirit of Christmas. Words on the packages include, love, joy, faithfulness and peace. The sashing between the gifts creates a secondary star pattern. 
 

This would be a great quilt to cuddle up under if you do not receive that longed for gift under the tree. Always remember the reason for the season.
