MINI HOLIDAY SEW ALONG
Small (and cozy!) blocks, lots of possibilities!
Join Alison Glass and Giuseppe Ribaudo (Giucy Giuce) for six weeks of making tiny, festive blocks from the newest Mini Series pattern, Mini Holiday!
Begins November 11, 2026!
A LITTLE HOLIDAY CHEER
Mini Holiday is a collection of 12 festive and cozy winter-inspired blocks, including little trees, stars, a house, a gift, a mitten, a stocking, and more.
Each block finishes at just 4" and is made using foundation paper piecing, making even the tiniest details possible.
The pattern includes a setting to combine the blocks into a 24" mini quilt, but there are so many other possibilities! Make ornaments, little handmade gifts, gift bags, or something entirely your own.
MAKE A LITTLE SOMETHING!
The focus of this sew along is making the individual blocks, not completing the mini quilt.
Over six weeks, we'll work through the designs together, with weekly videos from Alison and Giuseppe focused on block specific tips and project ideas.
Choose your favorite block and make just one or sew all twelve, it’s up to you! We hope you'll make what you like, share what you're creating, and enjoy seeing what others make!
THE MINI HOLIDAY SAMPLE
Our Mini Holiday sample is made with Color Camp Basics, using a colorful mix of fabrics in a range to hues and values.
The 24" mini quilt setting combines all twelve blocks with bonus Four-Patch Stars and decorative sashing.
You can make the quilt as shown, choose a completely different color palette, or use the blocks individually. We're looking forward to seeing all the different interpretations!
