Sew Thankful Sunday, December 2020

{I love the idea of “paying it forward”. I think the world would be a better place if we could spread some joy and acknowledgement of good deeds done by others. I try to do that once a month for my Sew Thankful Sunday posts. I highlight some great content that I’ve found on other people’s blogs that I hope will inspire you and reward the originator by bringing traffic to their site. If your blog has been mentioned without your consent, please let me know and I will take you off the current list of featured bloggers.}

The holidays are near and the days are shorter, but there is still time for a little Christmas sewing and decorating. With that in mind, there are some wonderful ideas coming your way for today’s Sew Thankful Sunday in December!

1. Join Moda for their Winter Frost Countdown To Christmas and make one quilt block a day in the month of December. By the time Christmas gets here, you’ll have the makings for a winter quilt to snuggle under.

2. Any quilter would love to decorate their tree with these Quilted Ornaments from Fat Quarter Shop’s Jolly Jabber Blog. You can transform any 3″ block into the cutest ornament!

3. Quilters love to share and they make the best friends. Jane Davidson and Pat Sloan are celebrating their friendship by sharing a free pattern with all of us! The Glow of Friendship is a beautiful block, and you’ll love what you can do with them in a quilt.

4. You’ll enjoy visiting Cindy at Quilt Doodle Doodles as she takes us through her annual 12 Days of Christmas. Cindy shares some fun, quick and easy projects and recipes for those last minute Christmas gifts and gatherings. This Candy Cane Snowman is from Day 3 and it’s just adorable!

5. If you have scraps, you’ll love this All in a Row Placemat Tutorial from Anorina at Samelia’s Mum. She uses a quilt-as-you-go technique and adds some beautiful details with hand stitching. These would make great Christmas gifts too!

6. If Christmas baking is more your thing, make sure to check out these Cookie Dough Truffles from Simple Easy Creative (aka Hoosier Homemade). This is part of their Homemade Holiday Inspiration series. “This year we decided to share with you some of our favorite bloggers as they join us for this popular series! Each week will be a different theme from desserts to savory recipes, entertaining ideas, decorating and gifts from the kitchen.”

7. This year, especially, it’s a nice idea to spread some cheer especially during the holidays. Check out these 25+ Christmas Neighbor Gift Ideas (complete with printable tags) compiled by Melissa at Polkadot Chair . Your neighbors will love you!

8. The 6th Annual Jen Daly Quilt Along is here and features a new project: Winter’s Walk. This adorable wall hanging finishes at 30″ x 36″ and will keep you smiling all Winter!

9. Get ready for a year of fun with Sharon at Quiltish Corner as she shares a free quilt block celebrating each month of the year for 2021! She’s already got January’s available and it’s this cute little snowman. Make these blocks into a calendar quilt, individual wall hangings or whatever you choose.
