Do you have holiday gifts to whip up this year? Are you the type who plans months ahead or are you team “Last-Minute Chaos”? Well, let me confess, I’m the reigning champion of last-minute sewing marathons (yes, Christmas Eve, we meet again). But this year, Kate (of Kate Colleran Designs) and I had an epiphany: why not sprinkle a little Christmas magic in July and give ourselves a head start? Enter Nordic Stars!
This mystery quilt along is all about festive fun and getting ahead of the holiday rush. It’s packed with 4 super cute small projects that are perfect for gifting (or keeping for yourself, we won’t judge!). Each project is inspired by a star block, and if you loved last year’s Falloween quilt along, you’re in for a delightful surprise, this one’s totally unique!
The color inspiration? We went full Scandi-chic! Drawing from our shared Nordic roots, we dove into the vibrant world of Nordic folk art (thank you, Pinterest rabbit hole!). And, of course, my fun Dala horse collection had us swooning. Bright colors, bold patterns, and a touch of Nordic charm—this quilt along is shaping up to be as cozy as a winter night by the fire.

So, let's get that sewing machine humming, grab your favorite fabrics, and let’s stitch some holiday cheer—plenty of time to avoid that Christmas Eve crunch this year.
We’ve been posting some sneak peeks on Instagram and Facebook about our fabric inspiration, but if you haven’t seen them, here is our color story:

So how will this quilt along work? When you sign up, you get a bonus star block and a fun project. Right away!
Then, starting July 12th, and every other week for a total of 4 weeks, you will get a newsletter with a link to a pdf for a new star block with a groovy new project.

If you were part of last year’s quilt along, we shared that it was an introductory price of only $20.00. This year, instead of raising the price, we simplified the quilt along. That means it’s still only $20.00!
The Nordic Stars Quilt Along includes:
- 4 pieced star block patterns
- 4 project patterns plus
- a bonus star block and project pattern
Normally, five project patterns would cost at least $60.00, but you are getting all of this for one low price of $20.00.
When can I sign up? Nordic Stars opens for Sign Up on June 11th, and door closes on June 27th.

After signing up and making the payment, you will receive your bonus block and project immediately. All PDFs are in full color. You will also be provided with fabric quantities and general instructions for the program. And then it's time to start having fun!
Hope to see you in the Nordic Stars Quilt Along!
Hugs!
