It may be the middle of summer, but it is never too early to start dreaming of a handmade Christmas, and this cheerful Gift block is the perfect place to begin. In this July instalment of her Christmas countdown block of the month, Cut and Create shows you how to make a sweet little gift block, so you can stitch your way slowly and joyfully towards the festive season.
Here is why this one is worth a watch:
- It gets you ahead for Christmas. Starting now means you can enjoy a relaxed, unhurried run up to the holidays with a finished quilt to show for it.
- The gift block is adorable. That little wrapped present motif is full of charm and looks wonderful in festive or year round colours.
- It is part of a lovely series. Following a block of the month is such a gentle, rewarding way to build a quilt one piece at a time.
