Do You Make Christmas Gifts?

I like making Christmas gifts and I like decorating my home in simple ways to celebrate my favorite holiday. This year I plan to give The Farmer’s Son quilt to my brother. And during July I’m going to make a Christmas pillow and start the matching quilt for my home. (If you like to set goals for your quilting hobby, check out Patty’s One Monthly Goal linkup for July.) Pictured below is the selection of Moda fabrics I plan to use: Little Tree by Lella Boutique along with a few Bella Solids and a Moda Grunge.

I’m going to use the Fat Quarter Shop’s Postage Stamp Star quilt block for the Christmas pillow top. Stay tuned on July 12 when the pattern, the tutorial, and a kit will be available! I’ll share my pillow, and a few other quilt bloggers will share their projects.

On July 21 I’ll reveal my quilt plan. That’s my day to inspire others during the Twelve Days of Christmas quilt along and blog hop with Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict. Many quilters look forward to Sarah’s annual Christmas in July event, and it will begin on July 14. I hope you follow along, become inspired, and make a gift or something for your own home.

Joyfully,

Tracie
