Celebrate the most magical time of the year with Vintage Christmas, a festive quilting book by Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet. Inspired by cherished holiday traditions, vintage Christmas cards, nostalgic decorations, and the warmth of handmade gifts, this book showcases Lori's signature style of cheerful patchwork, classic quilt blocks, and vintage-inspired colour palettes. Combining traditional quilting with whimsical pictorial blocks, Vintage Christmas captures the joy and wonder of Christmas through projects designed to become treasured family heirlooms.

At the heart of the book are 42 unique quilt blocks, each provided in both 6" and 12" finished sizes, allowing quilters to easily mix and match blocks with Lori's previous Vintage series books. The collection includes a delightful blend of traditional patchwork blocks alongside charming Christmas-themed motifs such as stockings, ornaments, gifts, trees, and other seasonal favourites. Alongside the blocks are more than 10 projects, including the stunning Vintage Christmas Sampler Quilt, additional quilts, a table runner, tree skirt, placemats, mug rugs, pillows, and more.

Presented in a practical spiral-bound format, the book contains 196 pages (some retailers list 207 pages depending on edition and cover format) packed with full-colour photography, diagrams, layouts, and detailed instructions. Lori's "scrappy happy" approach encourages makers to combine favourite Christmas fabrics, scraps, and seasonal collections to create projects full of personality and nostalgic charm. Whether you're sewing holiday décor, handmade gifts, or a family heirloom quilt, Vintage Christmas is a book you'll return to year after year.

One of the book's most popular features is the Vintage Christmas Sew Along, hosted by Fat Quarter Shop, where quilters stitched all 42 blocks over a nine-week series. The sew along remains a wonderful source of inspiration, tips, and project ideas for anyone working through the book today.
