Christmas is my very favorite season to sew for.
The beautiful reds & greens of the season are my go-to colors year round so it makes perfect sense that I could sew for Christmas year-round too!
When I saw Renee Nanneman’s Retro Ho Ho collection I knew instantly that it was “me!”
I already had a sampler quilt designed that fit this collection perfectly!
Once I had images of the whole collection more ideas kept coming to mind… I could hardly stop sewing to get my quilts into pattern form for you!
Santa’s Tree Lot is the first quilt.
It uses my new favorite templates… TREES, of many sizes!
But tree templates, as you know, aren’t just for trees & here’s another really fun example of what else you can make with my tree templates!
The Santa hats in two sizes are made with my Mini & Tiny Tree Template Sets, but that’s not all… Their beards are made with my Mini & Tiny Dresden plate templates! This makes your cutting so fast & accurate.
It’s a really quick 57.5 in. x 66.5 in. lap or wall size quilt.
You can find the patterns & templates here on my website
& fabric kits can also be found on Renee’s Need’l Love website by clicking here.
How fun will Christmas photos & decorating be with this cute quilt for many Christmases to come?
Next up is Candy Cane Forest.
It’s another fast-to-cut & fast-to-sew quilt with my tree templates.
It uses my Mini & Tiny Tree Template Sets.
Another fun fact is that it’s fat quarter friendly.
At 69.5 in. x 72.5 in. it’s also a nice lap or wall quilt.
You can find fabric kits on Renee’s Need’l Love website by clicking here.
I think you can see why I was so taken with Retro Ho Ho… I’ll be back with my Retro Ho Ho quilts soon!
Just Keep Sewing (for Christmas)…

Quilting my way through life!
