There’s still a bit of shopping time left before Christmas, and I’m seriously tempted by this quilt that was listed on etsy today:
I love pastels for the holiday’s, so the Be Merry fabric line just slays me. I wonder if it’s too late to add this to my letter to Santa?
Find it at Quiltville.
One of these days, I’ll make a Christmas quilt.
The thought crosses my mind from time to time, but I’m never sure where to begin. So here’s an idea: the next time I’m tempted to get involved in some huge project, like a quilt-a-long, I have to at least consider using holiday fabrics.
Who doesn’t remember the nine patch quilt-a-long? Well, bisongirl was a total genius about the whole thing, and did all her blocks up in green and red.
Isn’t that inspired?
If you’re not keeping up with the Purl Bee Blog, you may have missed a very sweet pattern yesterday: Happy Little Trees!

…did you know the current round of the Old Red Barn Quilt Along includes a snowball option? Find instructions here.
Or, treat yourself to the cute sixpack shown above, by littlelegwarmers.
In the almost two years (ugh, I know, right?) since I made my Wee Sublime Sampler from patterns by Wee Wonderfuls and Sublime Stitching, I’ve imagined it stretched into some sort of frame, much like this:
But when I see a little quilt like this, the wheels start spinning in a whole new direction….
I have a little bit of a hard time finding holiday decor that I love. I find an aggressively red and green palette to be a little bit pedestrian for my tastes, and, since I live in CA, it hardly makes sense to go with a hardcore winter wonderland theme. So when I find something festive that’s hip yet homey, I get super excited.
These peace banners by Moon Spirit Studios just slay me. Cute without being Hallmark, they’re the perfect size for sprucing up a corner of your home without overwhelming it. And what better way to decorate than with a message of peace?
