The Holidays are Around the Corner: Time to Start Thinking About Countdown Projects!
Hello, fellow makers! It’s Beth here from Beth Said Sew, and I can’t believe it, but the holidays are creeping up fast. Whether you’re a quilter, sewist, or embroidery enthusiast, there’s something magical about counting down the days to the big celebration. If you’re like me, the holiday countdown is as much fun as the day itself! So, why not get ahead of the game and start crafting those special advent calendars or countdown projects?
Now, if you’re looking for the perfect holiday treat for yourself or a loved one, let me tell you about something really special. The Jenny’s Countdown to Christmas Box from Missouri Star Quilt Co. is back, but only for a limited time—this is your last chance to grab it before it’s gone! If you don’t know about the Jenny Box, let me fill you in. It’s a treasure trove of surprises handpicked by Jenny Doan herself, with exclusive quilting goodies, patterns, and festive fun packed inside. It’s like having a little bit of quilting joy delivered to your door every day of the countdown! Whether you’re gifting it or treating yourself (you deserve it!), the Jenny Box is a must-have for every quilter’s holiday season. I don’t know what’s in this year’s box, I’m just telling you from experience that every year prior is AMAZING!!! You can find the link to buy the box here!
But the Jenny Box isn’t the only way to count down to the holidays. There are so many fun and festive ways to create your own holiday countdowns. At Missouri Star Quilt Co., you’ll find plenty of advent calendar patterns that are perfect for adding a handmade touch to your celebrations. One of my personal favorites is the fabric advent calendar kit—they’re easy to make, and they add a personal, crafty flair to your holiday décor. Plus, you can fill them with your favorite small treats or sewing notions!
This advent/countdown project from Missouri Star is so easy to make and is absolutely adorable! You can buy the canvas “calendar,” the numbers, and the cute Christmas applique pieces here. So fun!
If you want to get a little creative, there are also options like countdown wall hangings, like the project pictured above. Or making one of the adorable panels below into a super cute wall hanging or even throw quilt! You can find all of the panels here. Start now and have it ready to go by December 1!
These holiday countdown fabric panels are adorable! Find these, plus many more, on Missouri Star Quilt Co. or click here. These make super fun projects and are adorable gifts for that little one in your life. They’re so easy to make!
If you’re up to a challenge, I love the idea of stitching a quilt block each day and then having a gorgeous quilt ready to cozy up with by the time Christmas rolls around. If you’re looking for Christmas quilt pattern ideas, click here!
So, what are you waiting for? The holidays will be here before you know it. Grab your Jenny Box while you still can, and get inspired to create something festive and fun for your holiday countdown. Whether you’re stitching for yourself or making something special for loved ones, there’s no better way to celebrate the season than with a handmade touch.
Happy stitching, and here’s to a holiday season full of creativity and joy!
