Australian designer Anni Downs of Hatched and Patched is known for her whimsical embroidery and quilt designs. Today Martingale & Co. interviewed Anni about her new book, Season's Greetings. It is a book full of, you guessed it, fun designs to celebrate Christmas.

Anni's fabrics are adorably quirky and her patterns reflect that same sense of fun. We have selected a few of our favorite designs from the book to share with you today.
