I may have checked the Hallmark channel to see if
Christmas movie season had started after I took this picture. It really put me in the holiday decorating project mood.
And if you are now wondering? Hallmark Christmas movie season HAS started.
I finished my Candy Swirl Block project from the Vintage Christmas Fat Quarter Shop quilt along!!
The Vintage Christmas book includes some really great small and large projects.
I decided to spice up the vintage look with more modern matchstick quilting. It really is one of my go-to for throw pillows. I get a lot of questions on how I do it, and I am promising my followers that I am working on some really helpful tutorials over the next few months.
Lori Holt has suggestions for some cute trim around the binding, however, I thought the gingham fabric I chose was just the right touch.
I chose a small dotted red for the pillow backing from my stash. I love using up my stash!
Another go-to? Hidden zippered back. And, again, I have a video tutorial in the works!
I'm really excited to bring some tutorials that can be used in conjunction with some pattern releases I have coming out in the near future...so stay tuned!!

I'm actually excited to have a new pillow for my bedroom for the coming Christmas season. Usually I am trying to make Christmas items AFTER the holidays because other things are getting in the way.
What are you already making for the holidays to brighten up your home?
Gorgeous! I love how you have staggered some different lines of thread on the quilt top. I usually do not get my Christmas items done prior to Christmas, either.
