Quilters and stitchers are the luckiest people we know, because for us, Christmas comes in July. Wait, do you hear that click, click, click? That’s the sound of Up on the Rooftop! Each week in July, we’re delivering Christmas joy by revealing part of the Up On The Rooftop quilt and cross stitch patterns. Like we’ve done in Christmas Mystery Quilt Alongs past, we won’t reveal the look of the quilt beforehand. That’s a secret between us and the reindeer!
On Mondays, we will release the weekly FREE quilt block and cross stitch patterns over on the Up On The Rooftop Quilt and Stitch Along Supply Page. Then, on Tuesdays, head over to our YouTube channel to catch the weekly quilt block tutorial videos!
Can’t wait to start sewing? For the first time ever, we’re offering early access to the entire quilt pattern by purchasing the Up on the Rooftop Early Access Mystery Quilt Along Downloadable PDF! As soon as you purchase it, you will receive the fabric requirements, giving you extra time to gather your materials and get prepped. Then, on June 30th, you will receive the complete PDF. No waiting, no cliffhangers—just the full design, ready to go!
We’ve shared some sneak peeks of the quilt, but the rest is a mystery! The Up On The Rooftop Quilt is a whimsical Christmas quilt that finishes at 46.5″ x 47.5″. Ours is designed with a festive variety of Moda Fabrics, including Berry and Pine by Lella Boutique, Old World Yuletide by Fancy That Design House, and Crossweave. If you’re excited to take to the skies and add a dash of holiday cheer to your quilting, grab your Up On The Rooftop Quilt Kit and matching backing set now!
Up On The Rooftop Cross Stitch
The Up On The Rooftop Cross Stitch measures 82w x 82h, finishing as a 5 7/8” square when stitched on 14 count Aida! If you’re working with a different cloth, you can use our free Cross Stitch Calculator to find your desired size.
The floss and cloth you choose are up to you, but we stitched ours with the Up On The Rooftop Classic Colorworks Thread Pack on Chalkboard Black 14 Count Aida by Wichelt. Take your stitching on the go with the Berry Mad for Plaid Project bag and don it with style with Santa’s Reindeer Enamel Needle Minder.

Is cross stitch required??? Some of us don’t do that!
Hello Joyce! The cross stitch is optional! You can make one, or both any time we offer both quilting and cross stitch.
The link to download the fabric requirements is not working.
If you want the fabric requirements early, you can purchase the early access downloadable pdf!
Looking forward to this quilt along.
Had so much fun quilting Evergreen
I look forward to the each year! I’m totally ready to begin. Thank you for the FUN 🤩
Thanks for doing this again this year! I’ve ordered the Up on the Roof Top early access quilt along pdf and I am so ready to start this holiday project.
Looking forward to this QAL. I already have the Berry and Pine fat eighth bundle, hoping it is sufficient for this. This would be my sixth one.
Done 2 in previous years, both me stitching and my mother in law cross stitching… Very cool! Thank you for organising this!
When will supply lists be available for those of us who want to wait for the weekly mystery?
Great question! They will be released when the quilt kit sells out or on June 16th, whichever comes first!
