Hello Sewing Friends,
It’s only 168 days until Christmas and for us quilters and sewists out there it means it is time to start sewing for this magical time of year! Katarina Roccella has out done herself with her new holiday inspired collection Adventale. This heart warming collection is filled with so much love, joy and faith! This time of year celebrates family and togetherness and every single print in this collection embodies just that!
If it could be the Christmas season all year round I would welcome it in a heart beat. Christmas carols, cheerful decorations and the anticipation fills you with so much joy. One of my favorite things about this time of year is going to all the big department stores to see all the decorated trees. All of them with different themes and styles but all celebrating the same thing.
Enjoy the pages of the LookBook below, it came out so incredibly beautiful and I am so excited for you to find a project to feel you with holiday magic.
I love Katarina Roccella’s choice of colors adding pops of pinks, blues and mustard giving this collection a touch of romance and elegance. I love the nordic theme of her collection showcasing woodland animals, winter scenes, playful ornaments and festive florals.

'Holiday Cheer” free quilt' pattern finishing off 76½" × 96½" is the perfect size to cuddle under when the cold weather months hit! Made entirely out of rows of triangles it will definitely be a quilt the family fights over each year! Which might end up making one for the whole family! I love the soft pink and cream background making the tree pop from the background!
I had the opportunity to make this quilt with Merry & Bright Fabrics by AGF Studio many years ago and it brought me so much joy, so this is definitely a make getting added to my list this year!

What sets this holiday collection apart from any other holiday collection is the beautifully put together panel fabrics with endless holiday sewing inspiration. I love that it's a fool proof way to create home decor, quilts, decorations and festive gifts. There are four amazing panel fabrics to choose from.
“Jingle All The Letters” showcases the letters in the alphabet to personalize your holiday stockings and quilts. Adding loved one's names and phrases that spread holiday cheer.

“Advent Calendar” project panel gives you step by step instructions to make your own advent calendar, a festive brick house with each window displaying a festive scene. Each year you bring this advent calendar out will be a special tradition that can be passed down to generations. If that wasn’t enough it gives you instructions to create ornaments for your tree. Make angels playing a horn, a rocking horse, gnomes, a snow globe, and Christmas baubles.

“Merry Everything” panel is perfect to fussy cut into quilt blocks, turn into holiday gift bags, holiday banners, placemats, centerpieces, pillows and so much more.

“Welcome Home” displays a winter wonderland with snow covered houses, forest friends and gorgeous winter landscapes. With a white trim in between each block design making it so easy to cut out with added seam allowance to add to quills, pillows, and bags. It also has a great candy colored strip border strip to use for sashing and borders and embellishments.

Another detail I need to make sure to point out is the enchanting touch of metallic gold added to a couple of prints in the collection.
“Fawns & Flowers” and “Winterberry Whisper” have a touch of shimmer to add the magic back into our holidays making your finished holiday projects shine extra bright!

Of course no Winter Holiday collection will be complete without a flannel fabric to sew up blankets, pillows, and layering pieces. “Jingle Plaid” is the prettiest plaid to add to your wardrobe. With shades of pinks and mustard this can easily be made into some winter jammies or a cute jumper dress.
