It's almost Christmas!...
so today we are
"wrapping up"
our sew along
with a
video tutorial...
where I show you how I
sew on my buttons and
put the Large Vintage Trim
into the binding:)
to watch the tutorial:)
Even though this is the end
of the sew along...
Keep showing your blocks on
and of course your
finished quilts from the book.
We love to see Christmas sewing
all year long

Okay...with that being said...
I just have to say one more thing.
You guys.
I am so proud of this book...
and I've had sew much fun
creating it for you:)
Thank you so much for your
kind comments on
and messages to me about my
I hope you have loved
sewing all of the blocks...
And look forward to sewing
many more of the projects inside!
I also have to say that
it's been a complete joy for me to
work with my Cozy Christmas fabric again
for the projects in this book.
I'm very grateful to
Riley Blake Designs
for listening to your requests
for a reprint...it's been sew amazing!
Thank you to all for your kind messages
and inquiries about the fabric!
Because of the high demand even more is on it's way and will be arriving next month:)
YIPPEE!!
Now for the last two blocks
we have for this week:)
WOOL STAR BLOCK
WREATH BLOCK
I named this the wool star
because I knew I was putting it
in my Warm and Cozy Quilt
that I showed you last week.
I remember making these
6" Wool Stars into scarves
for the quilt in June
while we were in our trailer
fishing in Montana
with family and friends.
YES!
I do keep one of my featherweights
in my trailer at all times...
especially when working on a book
because I have to sew sew sew
even while I'm glamping!
I super love the way that
the scarves look in the quilt:)
About the wreath block...
I designed it to be very simple and
to use lots of scrappy happy greens!
I knew from the start that
it would be a perfect pillow
with a gingham bow attached:)
I do love me a good pillow and
especially at Christmas...
they make everything so cozy!
I loved sewing each and every block
for the
Vintage Christmas Sampler
I hope that you will
keep sewing from the book all year...
there are many projects that
would work for year round...
especially the 2 color quilts:)
Thank you from the bottom
of my heart for sewing
with me once again.
Don't forget to watch
before you bind your quilt.
Have the merriest...
most vintagey Christmas!!
