Christmas Tree Cushion

Posted on 4th November 2020

During November 2020, I will be holding a Christmas themed Quilt-Along. If you would like to take part in this QAL, we will be making a Christmas Tree Cushion.

This cushion is approx. 18″ square. I made my cushion using fabrics from my stash that were leftover from other quilting projects.

The Fabric Requirements for this Christmas Tree can be downloaded for free from my Payhip Store. You may be able to rummage through your stash to find fabrics to make this tree block – that is why I have given very specific sizes for each of the colours used in my fabric requirements rather than telling you to use fat quarters / half metres.

I have used Christmas themed fabrics in this photo tutorial to show you how to sew your pieces of fabric together to make your Christmas Tree block. There are enough details on this tutorial to help you make your tree block, but you can also download a Christmas Tree Cushion Pattern if you would like to have a printed copy to keep. The pattern is five pages long and contains one colour image, so it won’t use a lot of printer ink. There are no extra details in this pattern.

Happy Patchwork and Quilting!

Rail Fence Quilt-Along

Posted on 1st October 2020

During October 2020, I will be holding my first Quilt-Along. If you would like to take part in this QAL, we will be making the Rail Fence Quilt, or if you prefer, the Rail Fence Cushion.

  • Rail Fence Quilt
  • Rail Fence Cushion

The quilt is approx. 42″ square while the cushion is approx. 15″ square. Both of the samples shown above were made using Bluebell Wood Fabric by Lewis & Irene.

The Fabric Requirements for both the quilt and cushion can be downloaded for free from my Payhip Store.

I have put together a photo tutorial (using halloween themed fabrics) to show you how to make this quilt/cushion. There are plenty of details on this tutorial to help you make your quilt/cushion, but you can also download a Rail Fence Quilt & Cushion Pattern if you would like to have a printed copy to keep. The pattern does not contain colour images so it won’t use a lot of printer ink. You can colour in the images on the pattern if this would help you to plan your quilt. The last three pages of this pattern contain three different layouts for you to colour in so you can experiment with the layout of your blocks before sewing them together.

Happy Patchwork and Quilting!
