Hi there! I’m so excited to post my first post for Quiltmaker magazine! And what better way to start off, than with a free pattern in our Countdown to Christmas?
I thought it would be fun to share one of my favorite Christmas designs with you.

“Joy” measures 28″ x 28″, and is a combination of piecing and wool applique. Of course, you can do the applique with regular cotton fabrics and it would be just as cute. But if you’ve never tried wool applique, you should! It adds a fun twist to your quilting projects. But be careful, because you might just get addicted.
“Joy” is a free pattern available through the end of December, especially for you. I hope you enjoy it!
Please join us here for holiday inspirations every Monday, Wednesday and Friday as we Countdown to Christmas.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and as my family says, “Get your Merry on!”
Paula

Curious as to where the pattern is?!?! I can’t find anything to click on. Thank you!
I am trying to download the Joy pattern. It says that it is available until the end of December, but there is a struck-over line through it now, and I can’t find where to download. Would love the pattern. Please tell me how to download. Today is only 12/30/10. Thank you.
This pattern for Joy was taken down before the first of the year. It is 12/30/10 and I cannot get it. What do I do? Thanks
