✂️ New Christmas Quilt Pattern & New Video Series!
|
Hello Reader, I finished a Christmas quilt before Christmas! Mind you, I started it last year, but I finished it with plenty of time for this year's holidays! The Santa's Sampler quilt pattern was our 2025 sew-along quilt; now you can get it as a standalone pattern! It features six unique Christmas quilt blocks and a simple checkered border!
Find a video series walking you through the steps to make the blocks on the Riley Blake YouTube channel. If you are outside of the US please purchase on Etsy. After an inventory check, we found we have a few Pumpkin quilt kits left! Grab last year's Autumn quilt kit at a stellar deal! Add a touch of “pretty fall” charm to your home with the Bows & Monograms quilt kit. This seasonal design features a sweet pumpkin block paired with a classic bow for an elegant twist on autumn décor. Choose to make a pumpkin or ANY letter monogram; if you make the monogram quilt, simply save the green fabrics for another project!
VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS Learn the basics of making this quilt wth a video on our YouTube channel. NEW YOUTUBE VIDEO! Sew a Busy Day Tablet Case with Me! This video walks you through adding the zipper to the back of the case and sewing the binding!
CHRISTMAS FABRIC RESTOCK Get a head start on your Christmas sewing with Claus & Co. fabric collection and coordinating patterns! We've restocked the panel, the precuts, and added a few 1-yard bundles!
