Farmhouse Christmas Table Runner

July 22, 2021 by 20 Comments

Christmas in July is the best! How fun is it to put on some festive music, bake cookies, and get a jump start on holiday sewing during the summer!! I am always so happy when I get holiday sewing and shopping done early!

Christopher from The Tattooed Quilter, Bev from Flamingo Toes and I teamed up to bring you a weekend of Christmas quilting fun! Each day we will be showing you a new table runner pattern that is totally free – a gift to show we love you!!

My inspiration for the table runner came because I love decorating farmhouse style! I love the casual rustic feel and the neutral color palate.

The classic fir tree green, the neutrals, the pop of black, and the deep cranberry red all give this table runner a farm-y feel.

Also be aware…you may think the table runner is a pretty item to add to your home decor but cats have another purpose for it – a soft and warm place to sleep!!

The fabrics I used are from the collection Farmhouse Christmas by Riley Blake Designs.

This runner uses 12″ blocks and finishes at 49″ x 21″. You could totally make this runner longer by adding more blocks.

You can also turn this runner into a full quilt if you like by adding more blocks and sashing the blocks the same way as the runner. I LOVE it as a quilt and am hoping to make this soon!!!

You can download the patter by clicking HERE.

The Table Runner is 100% Mufasa approved

Also as a bonus Bev designed 3 amazing cross stitch patterns to coordinate with each of our designs! You can get my version by clicking HERE.

These are so darling and are super simple to make! Stitch some up now so you can have them as gifts for Christmas!

One more bonus – my favorite Christmas Cookie recipe – “Cookie Gun Cookies” is what we call them. You use a cookie press and add some sprinkles! They are soooo yummy and go perfectly with Hot Chocolate! We always have a plate of these on the counter all December!

You can find my recipe by clicking HERE.

And now a few more pictures of Baby Mufasa – he’s the best quilt model ever – I don’t even have to tell him what to do!

I’m super excited about this quilt! I love that my Mod Meow fabric collection by Riley Blake Designs totally works for Christmas! I love using pink and aqua in my retro Christmas decorating.

These mischievous retro felines totally belong in this Christmas quilt – they are batting the ornaments, climbing the tree, and wrestling in the presents! Cats and Christmas – it’s the best!

The quilt measures 70″ x 70″ and it has 9 blocks that finish at 16″ x 16″. You can purchase the PDF pattern in my Etsy shop, click HERE.

You will need to purchase the Mod Meow Cat Panel to complete this quilt. The cats are appliquéd onto the quilt and machine stitched.

The panels will be hitting shops the first week of August – so you can totally get started on the quilt and then the cats will be available!

July is the purrrrfect time to get a jump on your holiday sewing!!!

Mod Tiles Quilt Pattern

February 4, 2021 by Leave a Comment

My daughter and I were sitting in a movie theater lobby (this was a long time ago) and I noticed the tile pattern on the floor. I snapped a picture of it and used it as my inspiration for this quilt!

Mod Tiles uses precut 5″ x 5″ squares which means its easy to put together! I love this large border print – it really shows off the mischievous cats.

It’s available in my Etsy Shop in PDF or Paper.

Quilt Size 63 ½” x 75 ½”
5” Precut Square Friendly

Fabric Requirements
90 precut 5”x 5” squares
You will need 30 sets of 3 same fabric 5” squares
3 ½ yards cream Mod Meow border fabric*
⅔ yard binding fabric
4 ¼ yards quilt backing

*if you are not using the Mod Meow border print then use:
1 ½ yards cream background fabric
1 ¾ yards border fabric

After you cut the border print out of the yardage you are left with enough background fabric to make the quilt! I love this low volume print!

I hope you love this quilt! I would love to see all the different color combinations you use! Be sure to tag me on Instagram @jedicraftgirl and use the tag #modtilesquilt.

Mod Meow Fabric

February 4, 2021 by 3 Comments

I’m so excited that my newest fabric line with Riley Blake Designs will be hitting stores this month!

Mod Meow was inspired by mid century design and style – which is my most favorite!! I would love to live during that time 🙂

The colors have a retro feel but can easily work into quilts and projects by today’s quilters and sewists. Here is a little peek at some of the projects I created for this line.

Center stage in this fabric are a bunch of totally mod and totally hip black cats.

This fabric line has a border print which I am so thrilled about! It’s perfect for the hem of dresses and skirts, the border of quilts, or the edge of tote bags and pillows!

Also included in Mod Meow is a panel of all the black cats. These are perfect to cut out and appliqué onto anything!! Quilts, pillows, clothes, accessories, and more!

I hope you love these fabrics! I hope they inspire you to make something happy!
