It’s not too late to sew some christmas magic! Here are some of my newest Christmas paper pieced patterns. Most of these patterns were designed after hearing feedback from my wonderful customers. I appreciate your input and requests!

This Volkswagon Beetle is delivering the Christmas tree. You could use your own photo and put yourself in the driver’s seat in BUG WITH TREE. This pattern is stinkin’ cute!

CHRISTMAS MISS GNOME
LUMBERJACK GNOME
GNOME WITH LANTERN

Christmas Cats In July

Welcome to my 12 Days of Christmas in July web post. Thanks to Sarah Craig at Confessions of a Fabric Addict for organizing such a delightful Blog Hop. Join us from July 14 through 25 as we share clever Christmas ideas with you.

If you are at all familiar with my paper pieced designs, you know that I love designing animal images for quilts, table runners, pillows, etc. Some of my customers have been asking for paper pieced Christmas cats. I thought this would be a great time to share my newest table runner: CHRISTMAS CATS. This pattern is available on ETSY now, or try winning one below.

Christmas Cats

This widely grinning kitty is Christmas Kitty.

Next is Merry Mouser.

And last is Yuletide Tabby.

If you are new to paper piecing, watch my free tutorials PAPER PIECING TUTORIAL #1 on how to paper piece a segment.

And PAPER PIECING TUTORIAL #2 on how to sew segments together.

Rick rack is a super cute addition to any table runner or quilt. I have a great tip for adding the rick rack. This is done after the runner is quilted.

  1. Pin the rick rack over the ditch between the sashing and the outer border, starting in the center at the bottom of the runner.

2. At the corner, flip the rick rack over to the opposite side and pivot at the corner (similar to how binding is attached. Rick rack has no right or wrong side.

3. Continue to pin rick rack around the remaining 3 sides of the runner. Overlap the tails slightly. Sew in place down the center of the rick rack through all layers of the runner.

And now for the GIVE-AWAYS. The 12 Days of Christmas in July is offering the first Give-Away to win a FAT QUARTER BUNDLE FROM FIGO FABRICS. This is their new winter line called Wintertide.

3 Dogs and 1 Sassy Cat

Here’s one of my favorite table runner patterns for Christmas, 3 Dogs and 1 Sassy Cat. Please excuse me for reposting this photo, as I have already shared it with many of you, but it is so darn cute and a Christmas pattern that my many dog and cat loving friends adore.


Here’s my friend Lana’s version, made into a wall hanging. Love it!


Lana used some lovely fabrics for her version.

Here is a close up of each pet…


Stocking Hat Dog


Candy Cane Dog

Turtleneck Dog


Sassy Cat


If I had to choose a favorite, it would have to be Candy Cane Dog…how about you?

Well, you know how one good design can lead to another? 3 Cats and 1 Dog With a Bone was a natural follow up.

And my favorite in this group has to be the Dog With a Bone.

Happy Holiday to you!

The Little Red Truck

What could be cuter than the Little Red Truck? Especially with a fun novelty character in the driver’s seat.


The Little Red Truck

This paper pieced block measures 8″x 8″ unfinished and is super easy. Find a cute novelty fabric in your stash to use for an interesting little driver, or leave the window blank. I love using buttons for the wheels…it makes the paper piecing so much easier!


Potholder

Make a simple potholder…


Or make 2! Super easy.


A small pillow is also cute.


12″ pillow

The Little Red Truck paper pieced pattern is available in my Etsy shop NOW. Patterns for simple potholders can be found in my Sew Yourself A Merry Little Christmas book. The easy 12″ pillow pattern can be found in my newest book Sew Cute and Clever Farm and Forest Animals book. This book is coming out in March, 2019, but is available for pre-order from Amazon.

Holiday Buddies Paper Pieced Pattern

Here’s a fun Christmas project to try. I call this table topper “Holiday Buddies“. I like this octagonal shape on my table.

This table topper is cute from every direction.

Santa starts the collection of 4 paper pieced blocks. I use a bit of blush on his nose to make him jolly.

Mrs. Claus also has a bit of blush on her cheeks. I use a stippling paint brush and some pink craft paint.

Rudolph has a bright pom pom nose.

The Caroler is one of my favorite new holiday designs. Using a striped fabric always works well for a scarf.

This table topper measures 29″ in diameter.

Here is a set of cute HOLIDAY BUDDIES in potholders, too! Can’t wait to hang them in my kitchen.

Visit my Etsy and Craftsy shops to see more holiday designs.

Sew Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

It is so much fun to share photos from my customers and friends. This week I am posting photos of projects created from my Sew Yourself A Merry Little Christmas book.

These 16 adorable placemats were sewn by Donna Smith. She made a placemat for every student in her daughter’s third grade class, using all 16 of the paper piece block patterns from my book. I would love to see the students’ faces when they each get their own special placemat…what a sweet friend they have in Donna.

This cute Snowman Door Knob Pillow was created by Judith Johnson. I love her fabric choices!

This book has 16 super cute paper pieced holiday images. All blocks measure 8″ x 8″ unfinished, so they can be mixed and matched to fit into any of my patterns.

There are patterns in the book for potholders, table runners, stockings, placemats…

 

gift sacks, and tree skirts.

Thanks to Donna and Judith for sharing photos. I would love to see what YOU will create! Email photos to:    maryannhertel@gmail.com

You know…it’s right around the corner…CHRISTMAS! And, I have lots of cute holiday designs to show you. This is my HO, HO, HO HOLIDAY COLLECTION, all paper pieced patterns.

Ho, Ho, Ho, Santa. He’s a jolly old soul, with a cute red button nose.

Ho, Ho, Ho Rudolph. I love how Rudolph’s antlers are teeter tottering on top of his head!

Ho, Ho, Ho Elf. This clever fellow is ready for some Christmas action. These blocks all fit into my pillow, potholder, and table runner patterns, as well as into any patterns from my books.

All blocks finish at 7 1/2″x 7 1/2″ square. All patterns can be found on my Etsy or Craftsy shops.

Christmas In July Blog Hop, Free Tutorial AND a Give-Away

Welcome to the “Christmas In July” Blog Hop. I am offering a FREE tutorial on paper piecing AND a Give-Away at the end of this post.

Thank you to Carol Swift from Just Let Me Quilt for hosting this blog hop. She has worked countless hours to organize this hop. Thank you, Carol!

I am offering a FREE TUTORIAL on 3 tasks…1) How to paper piece a simple block using my Snowman block from my Sew Yourself A Merry Little Christmas book, 2) How to paper piece a combination block, and 3) How to assemble the Gift Sack pattern in my book.

Paper piecing is simply a “sew by number” technique. You work from a paper pattern, sewing right through the paper and fabric to create the image. It is my FAVORITE way to add an image to a project.

So first, let’s take a look at sewing the simple block. I am including a download of every step in the paper piecing process to complete this Snowman. Click  Workshop-Step-by-Step.pptx (697 downloads ) to download the free tutorial.

Also included in the tutorial are 2) How to paper piece a combination block,  Polar Bear block.

AND a tutorial on 3) How to assemble the Gift Sack pattern. All of these patterns are found in my Sew Yourself A Merry Little Christmas book. Available on Made By Marney on Etsy.  Also available on Amazon.

One lucky visitor will win a FREE Sew Yourself A Merry Little Christmas book. To enter the raffle, leave a comment on this post. Make sure your email is included in the comment. Due to the extremely high cost of postage overseas, I am only able to mail this book to a customer from the US. If someone wins from a foreign country, I will download this Christmas pattern to them, instead of the book: Must Be Santa Table Runner/Pillow pattern. Winner will be announced Saturday, July 28.
