The holidays are upon us! Ā I literally just realized that Thanksgiving is just a few days away. Ā What?!?! Ā
I know I’m not alone when I say that making holiday quilts and quilty projects is my absolute favorite thing to do. Ā And gifting quilts for Christmas! Ā I just love it. Ā
I wanted to share my top 5 holiday projects for quilters. Ā These are beautiful pieces you can make that will fill your home with festive cheer. Ā
Is there anything more perfect than a beautiful quilted table runner to add a special touch to your holiday meal? Ā The Miss Woodhouse Table Runner pattern can be made in so many different combinations to set the mood for the holiday meal of your dreams. Ā
This gorgeous Thanksgiving version by Kristin Quinn (pictured above) has the most beautiful fall colors. Ā And I love my Art Gallery Fabrics, Christmas in the City version (pictured below). Ā I can’t wait to set it up on my side table with all my fun Christmas decor arranged on top. Ā
And if you’re going for understated elegance, this green version by Brie Wells of Willow Grove Goods is absolute perfection! She used all Sprout Wovens by Fableisn. Ā
The Jane’s Gift quilt pattern was my first official pattern and it holds a special place in my heart. Ā It’s still one of my favorite designs and it is the perfect Christmas throw pillow. Ā I get so excited every year to get mine out of the Christmas bin and add it to my living room. Ā
It’s fun to personalize the tag with a bit of embroidery. Ā I made one as a wedding gift last year and look how pretty it is!! Ā
It’s easy to turn this pattern into a mini wall hanging as shown below. Ā There are really so many options with this pattern.
Shelby Bruno of @MinsysQuilts was a tester for my Barton Park quilt pattern. Ā When I saw her version I literally almost fell off my chair! Ā It is simply and beautifully done with all solids, but the colors make this quilt look like a field of poinsettias. Ā It’s gorgeous!Ā
This quilt would make the perfect accent throw to cuddle with on the couch next to the tree. Ā Grab a mug of your favorite hot drink, turn on some Christmas music and snuggle away. Ā Ā
The Miss Woodhouse Quilt pattern is my latest design and it’s one that took countless hours to design. Ā It’s all traditionally pieced and is so fun to make. Ā It’s like working on an intricate puzzle, which is one of my favorite Christmastime activities.Ā
I did a quick mock-up of this pattern in a few Rifle Paper Co Holiday Classics fabrics and the result is absolutely stunning. Ā This would make such a lovely wall hanging or Christmas throw. Ā (Plus, you can pair it with the coordinating table runner, hint hint.)
My friend Holly of @MakerValley designed this Happy Christmas Quilt Pattern and it’s one of my favorites.Ā
I had a FQ bundle of Lemmoni’s Polar Magic for Figo Fabrics and it was seriously the perfect fabric for this quilt. Ā And I love the scrappy background and peppermint stripe border. Ā
If you have time, I definitely recommend making this fun quilt and Ā snuggling with it next to your favorite people.Ā
Happy Christmas Everyone!Ā
Oh, just one more...
I love making these little Scandinavian Woven Star ornaments to give as gifts. Ā They’re so cute and fun to make. Ā My favorite tutorial is the one by The Weekend Quilter and you can find it here. Ā
Happy Holidays everyone!Ā
