Happy December, friends far and wide!
I love this time of year for a lot of reasons; the weather’s cooler, visiting with family and friends, and of course, all the wonderful holiday projects that populate the web!
To celebrate December 1, I thought I’d share a little roundup of some of my projects for this time of year! Some are free and some are from the Sewhooked Shop, I hope you enjoy them all!
Tree Trimming, my most popular holiday pattern still makes me smile even two and half years after I first shared it here on Sewhooked. I’ve taught this pattern to beginners and experienced quilters alike, Honey Bee Quilt Store here in Austin sells it as a kit to make the dark varation seen above. I still see fun versions of this little tree on a regular basis. I love the way you all have embraced this little pattern!
Homes for the Holidays, a fun quilt made from a paper pieced block swap from a now defunct paper piecing website. I used oodles of fun Christmas fabrics for my borders, including the Christmas trees, which I drew free hand to paper piece! I met an awesome local lady, Myra, through this swap and still get to see her from time to time!
Holly Jolly, a fun set of 5″ patterns inspired by Sunbonnet Sue! These little guys were originally designed as a gift for some friends of ours.
Santa & His Bag, one of many Santa’s I designed while working on Holly Jolly!
Sweet Sue Tops The Tree was designed for another fun event hosted by The Quilting Gallery.
Recycled Gift Bags, because presents need a fun and crafty wrapping! There were super easy to make with a few fun stamps and a hole punch!
Smiling Santa Gift Bag is one of my favorite ways to gift items to children! Free tutorial at the link, plus some fun variations.
Bon Bons – YUM, just like Mom makes!
English Toffee – deceptively easy and completely delicious!
Jennifer’s Best Peanut Brittle – the only recipe that has actually helped me make new friends…really!
Spice Cookies are my family’s newest favorite Christmas cookies. Absolutely delicious.
