It’s THAT time Again…. (Sneak Peek at the Quilter’s Christmas Advent Calendar)

Hi!

I know you’ve started hearing about it, but it’s THAT time again, and yes – Christmas IS coming!!!!  Honestly, our Quilter’s Christmas Advent Calendar is one of the highlights of my year, and we really do spend months each year putting together the best assortment of quilty and Christmassy patterns that we can, so you can enjoy some special treats in December, as we count down to Christmas together.

If you haven’t seen this program before, I started it six years ago when I got a bit fed up with the whole advent calendar thing.

My kids got those fun advent calendars with chocolates inside, to open one each day in December, and I even found a beer advent calendar for Mr Online Quilt Magazine, but there was nothing around that seemed to suit me.  I figured I wasn’t the only one, and so I made an Advent Calendar just for Quilters, with a mystery assortment of quilty patterns, so that we too could open a surprise each day as we counted down to Christmas together.

Yes – the patterns included each year are a Surprise!!

The pics included in this post are some projects that were in Quilter’s Advent Calendars from previous years, just to give you an idea of what’s included.

We design projects especially for this program, and they’re exclusive to our Quilter’s Advent Calendar too.  There’s a good mix of Christmassy projects for decorating your home, and other projects that you might like to make for gifts. There’s always several full size quilts, and wallhangings, runners, bags and fun stocking stuffer projects.

We also feature projects from a select group of Guest Designers each year too, and I know you’re going to love what we have in store for you this year!!

As always, these are pdf patterns, and everything comes to you through a daily email.  It’s fun to watch your Inbox each day, then click to check out what that day’s surprise pattern is, and I know many of you have really enjoyed this daily surprise in previous years.

The patterns really are suitable for everyone from a confident beginner through to more advanced quilters.  We include a variety of techniques, and the patterns are easy to understand, with heaps of photos.

So why all the talk about Christmas now? (When it’s only July?)

That’s because, everyone loves a Christmas in July, and so, for just a few days now, we’re offering early access to this year’s program, with a hefty discount, and a secret Extra Bonus!

We have had some fun with these previous projects, and easy fabric covered photo frames (for example), make for great stocking stuffers!

You’ll find you can use up scraps and what’s in your stash for a lot of these projects too.

And you’ll find that you can get a headstart on your Christmas sewing this year too, as you will receive our Bonuses for this year’s program straightaway.

There’s a set of 5 patterns to love in our “Fast and Festive Pattern Bonus Bundle”, (and I’m already making several for presents for our extended family this year) and more!

I like to finish with a bit of a bang too, so the 25th Advent Calendar pattern, arriving on Christmas Day is usually a bigger quilt project that will see you happily sewing into the New Year, or saving for when you’re ready to sew again after Christmas.

And the extra Bonus I mentioned??

That’s our 12 Days of (Early) Christmas!  This is just for our Earlybirds, and runs like a mini version of our December Christmas Advent Calendar.  You will receive a small pattern each day from the 1st through the 12th August to help with your Christmas decorating, and give you a head start on this year’s Festive season.

If you think this sounds like fun, then do check it out.  The doors have just opened now for our Earlybird Sale, and our Discounted Earlybird price (and the extra 12 Days Bonus) are Only available to our Earlybirds, who join the program this week.
