First Friday Freebie #32

Can you believe it's December 7th already and the First Friday of the month? Before we know it, the 25th will have come and gone for another year.

 It's been three months since my last First Friday Freebie and much has been accomplished in my sewing studio during that time.  I've managed to finish two Christmas quilts which I'm thrilled about...not to mention a few other projects as well.

 While making the Christmas quilts, the inspiration for this month's FFF came about.  You all know I love samplers, stitching, wool-on-cotton applique and piecing...and the more vintage looking and scrappier the better!

 Do you remember this photo from two posts ago where I showed you our sitting room decorated for Christmas?

Look a little closer...

Did you happen to notice the quilt hanging on the wall going up the stairs?

 That is this month's FFF and it's called, "Twas the Night Before Christmas"!

Here are a few close ups because the lighting was not the greatest when I took the photo.










My friend Alice custom quilted this one for me as well.  Didn't she do another amazing job?  

 I think this little guy might just be my favorite FFF to date.  

 Thanks again, Alice for doing such an amazing job with very little notice and in a very short turn around time.

To download the PDF file with the instructions, line drawings and photo, please click HERE.

I'll leave you with this photo of Ollie and Frankie chilling by the fire early this morning.  Aren't they just too much?
Best friends!
I hope that you enjoy making Twas the Night Before Christmas as much as I did.  Enjoy!

    I so love this pattern and would love to make it for my daughter, Christmas 2013. However, when I go to print it the line drawings are washed out -- very faint, or invisible. Can you help? Thanks so much for this lovely pattern.

    What a darling, darling little piece this is -- I can certainly see why it might be your favorite of your FFF offerings ... I think it might be mine, as well!! So happy to hear that you've had happy, productive days in your sewing room! Thanks for sharing, Kaaren!! :)
