A Year of Festive Scraps Stitch With Me – A Year of Scrap Quilting (2026)

Welcome to Festive Scraps Stitch With Me, a year-long quilting series designed to help you use up your scraps while creating beautiful, seasonal projects you can actually use and display in your home.

This project runs for 12 months, with a new block Layout released on the 3rd Sunday of each month. Each block is inspired by that month’s holiday or season and is designed to be scrap-friendly, beginner approachable, and fun to stitch together.

You can choose how you want to use these blocks:

  • Make a monthly 16-inch pillow to decorate your home for each holiday

  • OR save each block and, at the end of the year, turn all 12 blocks into a festive quilt representing every month

I’ll walk you through both options along the way, and at the end of the series, I’ll show you how to assemble the full quilt.

How This Series Works

🧵 One block per month (12 total) 📅 New video released the 3rd Sunday of each month ✂️ Designed to use scraps from your stash 🏡 Create useful home décor you can show off all year long

Each month, you’ll find:

  • A new block layout for that month’s block

  • A step-by-step video tutorial

  • Ideas for turning the block into a pillow or saving it for the year-end quilt

This is a relaxed stitch-with-me style series—no pressure, no deadlines—just consistent, creative sewing time.

Monthly Blocks & Videos

Below is where I’ll update the series each month. You can bookmark this page and come back anytime to catch up or stitch along.

Why Festive Scraps?

The heart of this project is simple:

✨ Use what you already have ✨ Create something useful and meaningful ✨ Decorate your home with handmade pieces for every season

Instead of letting scraps sit untouched, this series encourages you to turn them into pillows, blocks, and eventually a quilt that tells the story of the year—one holiday at a time.

Whether you’re stitching every month or jumping in when your favorite holiday comes around, you’re always welcome to sew along.
