A Very Vintage Christmas Sew Along: Week 1

Grab your hot cocoa, your Christmas cookies, and most importantly, your Vintage Christmas Book because we are on Week 1 of the A Very Vintage Christmas Sew Along! We are sew excited to launch this sew along for Lori Holt of a Bee in my Bonnet’s newest book, Vintage Christmas! Step into Lori’s scrappy happy vintage world this Christmas season with all-new quilt blocks and over ten quilty projects.

To help you make the quilt, we have a Vintage Christmas Quilt Kit and Backing Set that uses Lori Holt’s Cozy Christmas collection for Riley Blake Fabrics. Lori also has a Bee Basics AuriFloss Thread Box and Cute Little Buttons Bag to add the finishing touches to your completed Vintage Christmas quilt! (*You will need to order the book separately from the Quilt Kit to complete the quilt.)
