The Nordic Stars Quilt Along is open!!

Hi friends!!

Do you have holiday gifts to make this year? Are you a planner, or do you find yourself sewing at the last minute? I am the Queen of the Last Minute!

But this year, Kris and I decided to break the cycle with a brilliant idea—Christmas in July! That’s right—we’re giving ourselves a head start on handmade gifts.

And what better way to kick off our early holiday prep than with a new mystery quilt along? Introducing…

The Nordic Stars Quilt Along!

What is it? It is a star studded quilt along that includes four small projects, each perfect for gifting and built around a unique star block. If you joined us last year for our Falloween projects—get excited! These designs are brand-new and totally different.

The Color Story

Our inspiration began with our Scandinavian heritage—we’re both drawn to the bright, cheerful tones found in Nordic folk art. From there, we curated a rich, vibrant palette using Grunge by Moda, one of our favorite fabric collections for its depth and texture. We love how Grunge offers those beautifully saturated tones with just the right touch of softness and visual texture.

The palette we landed on includes:

• Deep, medium, and light blues for that classic Nordic winter feel
• Pops of pink, red, orange, and yellow to echo folk art embroidery and painted decor
• A refreshing minty green that brings the whole palette together

We found loads of inspiration on Pinterest—and even in Kris’s house, thanks to her adorable Dala horse collection!

I think I am a little jealous of those fun horses!

We’ve been sharing sneak peeks on Instagram and Facebook, but if you haven’t seen them yet, trust us—you’re going to love this cheerful, colorful twist on holiday sewing.

How It Works

When you sign up for The Nordic Stars Quilt Along, you’ll immediately receive:

• A bonus star block pattern
• A bonus project pattern

Then, starting July 12, you’ll receive a newsletter every two weeks (for a total of four):

• July 12
• July 26
• August 9
• August 23

Each newsletter includes:

• A new star block pattern
• A coordinating project pattern

That’s five star blocks and five project patterns in total!

And since it is a MYSTERY, no you don’t get to see the projects ahead of time! But they are fun!!! And there is only standard piecing techniques used in all the blocks; there is not any appliqué or paper piecing. We like those techniques, we just didn’t include them this time!!

The Cost

All This for Just $20

Last year’s quilt along was priced at just $20 as an introductory offer. This year, we’ve simplified the format—but kept the same low price!

Here’s what you get:

• 4 pieced star block patterns
• 4 coordinating project patterns
• 1 bonus block and project
• Full-color PDFs
• Fabric amounts and general instructions included

Normally, these five projects would cost at least $60—but you get them all for just $20!
