December's Block and finishing instructions!

 December has snuck up on me! The year has just flown by, so quickly. First let me say thank you for following along and stitching with me this year. It has been a busy year with family events and time spent with my family. 

There will be a secret BOM for 2026. I will be announcing it before the end of the month so that you have time to gather fabrics. I'm hoping that many of you may be able to work out of your stash of fabric.

Since it's December do click on over to my website for this month's block download and finishing instructions. I hope that you're able to get it finished and are able to enjoy it throughout the rest of winter season. 

Let me show you how I made this month's block... gather your 2 1/2" squares and following the block layout and sew your squares together using your favorite method making sure to nest your seams so everything lines up nicely. I am encouraging you to use your stash and have fun with it. Just remember the contrast between light and dark. This finished quilt block will measure 12 1/2" x 20 1/2".

I hope that you have enjoyed working on this year's BOM. It was a great stash buster. Did you know I cut my smaller scraps of fabric into 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" squares and stash them in small bins, ready to sew. I like to use these squares to make quilt blocks, pot holders, soup bowl holders and small bags. It's a great way to use up scraps.

Each month's pattern is a free PDF instant download. If you miss a month, the patterns are available for $2.00 on my website 

 There's also a Facebook Group, please join and post your progress! It's also fun to see everyone else progress too! Make sure to post your blocks so far! 

 I hope that you have a wonderful day and find some time to stitch. 

Have a wonderful day and wishing you a happy holiday season and a very Merry Christmas!
