Christmas Wall Hanging Patterns?
 
Hello Quilters! Christmas is fast approaching and I need to make at least 2 Christmas wall hangings to give for gift exchanges with a couple of quilting groups I belong to.
The challenge for me seems to be to find a design/pattern that appeals to me. The design(s) need to be fairly "quick" but not necessarily "easy"; I intend to improvise a bit to make it my own and add quite a bit of custom FMQ.
So, any help you can be with suggesting patterns, or just designs, would be so very much appreciated!

Pick a bock.
Any block you like.
Make it in Christmas fabrics.
Border it up. Quilt. Bind.
And don't forget the label!

One of my favourites is the Double Friendship Star ... emphasis on the friendship, for the gift giving!

I just made this by copying from someone else. Blocks sewn on point.
I also have a snowman door hanger pattern if you're interested.

Have you checked in the albums on the Pictures forum, there are 3 albums to check out.

Check out the book, "Christmas in the Country", by Rhonda McCray. I bought one this year from amazon for small fun things to make, including a couple wall hangings. So very cute!
Also, I am thinking that the christmas tree that is images of sewing items is adorable for a gift to quilters. Amy Butler on Ebay for the pattern.

RedGarnet ... What a clever Christmas tree! But that looks oh so tedious to make!


Here's a link to the book, that RedGarnet mentioned ...

b.zang. your tree is so cute! It looks like you used 2.5 inch squares. I'm tempted to try it with 1.5 inch squares for an ornament exchange. A tree for your Christmas Tree!

You are right, the squares were cut to 2.5". I want to see your miniature version!
There are many opportunities to dress up the tree which I didn't take. I'd like to make another in just two colours.

I stitched the two layers together all the way around, the cut the middle of the back for turning and used some healing tape to hold the cut edges back together. It's on the back - who's going to look.

I'd love a mini ornament!!!

I was wondering how you put it together. I loved it so much that I saved a copy in my pretty folder! I am interested in the snowman, please.

If you Google free gnome quilt block, there's a cute one that is easy to make and would be fun to make with holiday fabric.

I've made the little marshmallow Mini Quilt by Mari Martin from connecting threads. It makes a cute marshmallow snowman.

RedGarnet222 11-08-2024 01:42 PM

Your so very welcome. I love the things to make in that book.

Here is a picture of the snowman door hanger. If you want the pattern, message me your email address and I'll send it, or tell me how to attach a document to the message system in this forum.
