The Quilter’s Christmas Advent Calendar
November 19, 2025
Hi!
I hope you’ve enjoyed your week. As you know, it’s been a bit busy here as we’re right in the middle of our final sale for this year’s Quilter’s Christmas Advent Calendar. I’m madly sorting patterns and emails, and loading them up ready to come out to those who are joining us from the 1st December.
I am a bit obsessed now with Christmas quilting, and to be fair, I do spend much of my year planning for this fantastic end-of-year program.
For those who haven’t checked it out yet, you’ll find all the details at www.QuiltersAdventCalendar.com , but in a nutshell, I email out a surprise pattern every day from the 1st through the 25th December, as we count down to Christmas together. Yes – you read that right – that’s 25 full patterns, PLUS a bunch of bonuses!
I have had some questions on the kinds of patterns that are included, and no – they’re not funny little block patterns stretched out over December. They are FULL patterns, and each day you will receive a different one for you to keep. There’s quilts, table runners, wallhangings, decor items, bags, giftable items to make and more!
Some you’ll make for Christmas, and some you’ll make for gifts, and others will be happily stockpiled to be looked at again in the New Year. This is honestly one of the best value gifts you can give yourself this year, and I’d love for you to join us.
Whilst I can’t show you what’s in this year’s program, cause I’m not going to spoil the surprise, I can show you a selection of patterns from previous Advent Calendars…
A Jelly-Roll-friendly quilt. Make it in Christmas prints, or just use a regular set of strips for a year-round pattern.
Beautiful 3D felt and ribbon runner, with poinsettia, holly and mistletoe.
Fabric covered balls to make a fun modern wreath.
A Christmas FQ pack became a striking festive quilt.
And what’s not to love about a cute Santa pillow? Easy applique with a touch of embroidery…
And for our Aussies – a Gum Blossom Wreath wallhanging!
Trimming the Tree…gnome style 🙂
Delicate stitchery table setting. Mix and match for tablecloth, placemats and napkins.
Some gorgeous tree decorations…
A great runner for gifting!
Fun machine pieced hexies for a queen-sized quilt
I gave everyone in my family fabric covered notebooks that year…. 🙂
And there you have it. A very quick peek at some of the wonderful projects we’ve included before.
This year’s projects are even better, and we have some fab inclusions too from a very talented bunch of Guest Designers, that I can’t wait to share!!
I’d love for you to join us this year, but you’ll need to be quick, as the sale will end at midnight tomorrow, and then you’ll have to wait for next year’s program.
Do check it out at www.QuiltersAdventCalendar.com now.
See you on the inside!

















I’m really looking forward to this!
I got distracted by your Singer treadle sewing machine. What year is it? Do you still use it or is it just decor now? It looks a lot like my 1913 White treadle machine that I got at an estate sale when I was about ten. It still had all the feet and attachments, even the original manual (although that was crumbling). All it needed was a new belt, and then it worked fine! Unfortunately, it was lost when I moved from Pittsburgh, PA to the San Francisco Bay area 40 years ago. Oh, well, every place I’ve lived in since I moved here has been too small for it anyway. So I do all my crafting by hand, which is fine for a number of reasons. Doesn’t mean I don’t miss it, though.
Thanks Andrea – it’s going to be fun!!
I can’t remember the date of my Singer machine offhand (and it’s messily buried under a pile of Christmas projects right now 🙂 ), but it would be around the time of yours, I think. I’ve never used it to sew, as it does need some work done, but I think it will be great then. It’s waiting until I have a bit more space too….
I am sorry to hear you lost yours – that is upsetting, as I know how much these old machines are treasured.
Hi Jody, I have enjoyed the Quilters Advent Calendar very much, all of the projects have their own special adventure in this Special season. I went online to subscribe to the
Online Quilt Magazine and got message of “no products available at this time” Is this still available? Or is it only open at a specific time? Again thanks for the fun Christmas projects so far. Kathleen
Hi Kathleen! Thanks for letting me know how you’re enjoying our Quilter’s Advent Calendar – I’m so happy to hear that!
I am sorry, but I have just published my last issue of our Online Quilt Magazine. It’s been 17 years in publication, but it’s time for a change, and I will be launching some new fun quilty surprises early next year. Watch this space (and my weekly newsletter), and I’ll let you know as soon as we’re ready with them.
Have a lovely Christmas!!
