Christmas in the City patchwork
Come see what awaits me today on my sewing table - - -
Good morning, patchwork! What a nice way to start a December day.
That pair of Fir trees on my sewing table is almost complete. Soon I’ll be able to pop them up on my design wall to fill in the pink row of trees.
I’ve already sewn all of the Spruce trees for my Christmas in the City fabrics quilt. I created three different tree sizes, each a fun way to feature these festive fabrics.

All of my empty spots are for additional paper pieced Fir trees, like these. Of course, the paper pieced trees take the longest, but they have so much character. Plus, I’m using up lots of odd-shaped scrap pieces leftover from making the Spruce trees.
Once the tress are finished, I’ll be adding a row of tiny stars and trim as special touches. I’m looking forward to seeing how it all comes together over the next few weeks.
Wishing you joy in whatever you are sewing today!

This weekend we got our Christmas tree and trimmed it with lights, ornaments and the new tree skirt. Welcome all to the Christmas season! I hope your home is beginning to look festive as well. xoxo, Rachel
My design wall is empty. Do you know what that means? It means that I’m free to indulge in some Christmasy sewing. Woohoo! Over the next few weeks, I plan to sew a forest of Christmas trees while I prepare behind the scenes for my next sew-along.

Happy Holidays! It seems that every year I sew something festive, whether gifts, kids clothes or decor for our home. It’s always a treat to sew with holiday fabrics. And, as you can see, something this Christmas-y puts everyone in a joyful mood!
This quilt was always a sure thing, and that’s what made it perfect for vacation season. The combination of simple squares patchwork with a Rifle Paper bundle - what could be easier? It felt good to update my free Penny Patch resources, too.
Hip, hip hooray! What an amazing quilt-along this has been. Today we’ll celebrate your beautiful finished quilts and quilt tops, I’ll share my finished holiday Dear Dottie and award the grand prize. Cheers!

There’s nothing I really need to sew for holiday decor this year, but I decided to indulge anyways. I already have these fun holiday fabrics, and stocking sewing is so easy and fun. I can’t resist!
It’s almost Christmas! I hope you are feeling the holiday spirit and will soon get to relax with family and/or friends. Happily, my Christmas Forest quilt is complete just in time to wish you a very merry Christmas!
