Late Summer-Fall 1999, is full of things to make for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and on into the New Year. The “Falling For You” issue features TV’s Aleene Jackson as our Guest Editor, and lots of ways to dress up your kids, your home, and your wardrobe.

Start the fashion season by making our Fabulous Fall Shawl. All you need is a piece of lace and the marvelous Janome Miraclestitcher.

Then get the kids ready for Halloween. The Children’s Corner features trick or treat bags and porch banner projects. Using straight stitches and easy appliqué, these are great projects to make with your kids.

For Thanksgiving, decorate and protect your table with our Turkey Tracks Table Runner. It’s quilted to make a handy place to set all those yummy, hot dishes.

To set a glamorous table for your holiday parties, embroider our Heirloom Lace Table Runner. Its tasteful elegance and beautiful metallic accents make it something you’ll want to display for years to come.

And to get your whole family ready for Santa’s Christmas Eve visit, we feature six unique Christmas stockings to hang from your mantel. From Calico ‘n Lace to Buckskin Scout, there’s a sock to fit each personality in your family. For New Year’s Eve 2000, wear your “little black dress” and top it with our dazzling embroidered jacket. Start with a basic jacket pattern and end up with a stunning ensemble piece.

Our popular Quarterly Quilter section features three new heirloom blocks from Janome America Educational Coordinator, Marie Stevens. The Wedding Bells block memorializes the celebration of your wedding day. The Floral Spray Block brings back memories of great-grandmother’s hand embroidered flowers. And the Antique Doily Block incorporates a lace doily for a dimensional heirloom look.
