Here is a picture of the full quilt from the cover. I wanted to show you the yo-yos along the edge. Aren't they fun?
In addition to complete instructions for the sampler quilt, there are smaller projects that you can make using the motifs from the lap quilt. Like these whimsical Christmas stockings.
And this wallhanging with removable pockets for treats for the little ones (and maybe the grown-ups, too!). Melinda shares a sweet Christmas memory about a wallhanging like this that her mom made.
The snowflake pillows are adorable, but my favorite is the Candy Cane Table Runner. There are those yo-yos again! They make such a nice decorative border along the edge. 
I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I have. Brent Kane is the photographer and he, too, is an amazing artist.If you'd like to win a copy of Candy Cane Lane just in time for Christmas, leave a comment here. I'll choose the winner by drawing a random number on Monday. If you don't have enough time to finish a small project before Christmas, you'll have the whole year ahead of you to create something special for next Christmas.

Reading about the book, I had the picture of the quilt on the screen, and started thinkin how you could use some of the pattern elements for smaller projects (well, you know me!) then I scrolled down, and look, the author/designer had the exact same idea!
This book looks like fun. Thank you for the chance to win.
Just love the table runner with the yo yo border
