Many trained sewers judge time in relation to their current projects. Perhaps having half of their quilt’s pinwheel blocks completed by Tuesday means they're on schedule, maybe an unproductive sewing night means it's Thursday evening, and of course, the finished product means the date of the deadline. It's no secret, time is of the essence when sewing.

Celebrate the gift of time and sewing with the 2014 calendar, "At Home with Country Quilts" from That Patchwork Place. Gorgeous blown-up photographs from Cheryl Wall’s best-selling books, Country Comforts and At Home with Country Quilts mark each month of the year. Every quilt design in this calendar celebrates a well-known aspect of its respective month. April’s quilt features a beautifully appliqued pail, May’s is sprinkled with flowers, and December’s includes 9-square blocks surrounded by festive stars and holly. Whatever the season, it shines through in these beautifully crafted quilts.

Take advantage of these picturesque sewing projects by setting goals for yourself. Maybe you want to apply January’s quilted design to a smaller baby blanket. Or perhaps you’d like to complete March’s quilt before the first of the month; you could always opt for the ultimate challenge and sew all twelve of these masterpieces in 2014. However you react to this creative calendar, it’s impossible that you won’t feel inspired.
