Quilty Staffer Teresa is sewing the quilt with Christmas Eve like the Jolly Holiday Quilt Kit, but with a few changes to Santa to make him her own. She’s using Bella Solids Bubble Gum for his face, Bella Solids Rose for his rosy cheeks, and Bella Solids Tea Rose for his nose!
Another option for customizing the Jolly Holiday Quilt is to change the background to Bella Solids Charcoal fabric. Pattern designer Vanessa Goertzen of Lella Boutique explains how to do this on her blog.

This would be an awesome machine to win. The first one of these I seen was in a tutorial that Kimberly done on an introductory to sewing and she went through all the steps of how to use it. I wanted one then and I still would like one. It’s has more sewing space than mine (would be a huge win). Would love to win it as I’m sure many of you do. Good luck to everyone!
Hello!! Did I miss the first tutorial video for the Jolly Holiday QAL? I can’t find it on the channel. Thanks!
Hi Tara, we don’t have videos for the Jolly Holiday Quilt Along. This might be a mix-up with the Evergreen Quilt Along which is our free Christmas mystery quilt along for this year (2023).
Evergreen was delayed due to fabrics. Fabric requirements and fabric shipping should happen in the next few days and the first release should be July 11.
As for Jolly Holiday all the details are above. The whole pattern is available together so we won’t be updating the schedule with the releases it’s just there to show how we are stitching ours!
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. 🙂
What a gorgeous quilt!
Yes!!! Thank you;)
