A January Top A Long with VRD’s Running Doe Quilts and The 12 Quilts of Christmas Quilts

Happy Thursday to you!

Are you ready for the upcoming holidays? I certainly am NOT! As of writing this post, I’ve yet to get my tree decorated. My cookies are not baked. And I’m hoping the gifts will magically wrap themselves. And maybe the cleaning fairy will have a little time to stop over during the night and do a tidy up? Funny enough, though, everything seems to get done just in time, even if I have to forgo some sleep to get there. How do you get everything done? Thank you, any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve got an exciting event coming in January for you!

One of our VRD designers, Catherine @ Running Doe Quilts, is starting another Top A Long in January 2025 and it will go for six months.

If you plan to make a New Year’s Resolution (or a goal in my case) of busting your scrap stash, you will want to sign up for Catherine’s Top Along, which features some of her VRD Rose Card patterns. It’s a great way to get in some sewing in the New Year, hang out with other quilters in the Facebook group, and use up some of that stash. It’s a win-win-win situation!

This is such a great idea to get us motivated for winter sewing, isn’t it?

You can go HERE to sign up for the Top A Long.

I thought about doing a curated list of Holiday patterns for this post, too, but when I looked back, I saw I did that in 2022. Yep, we’ve added a lot of new patterns since then, but instead of doing that topic again so soon, I decided that I wanted to show you ALL 12 of our 12 Quilts of Christmas patterns. You can get the whole collection of 12 print patterns HERE or you can get them individually as either digital or print patterns.
