Create Family Memories With Kimberbell's Cup of Cheer Advent Quilt!
Have you heard the buzz about Kimberbell's new Cup of Cheer Advent Quilt? If you're thinking, "Hmmm, it's darling but I don't really need another Christmas quilt..."
Think again.
You see, Cup of Cheer isn't a quilt you just hang on the wall for decor (although we absolutely love quilts you hang on the wall for decor). But this particular quilt is so much more than that.
It's the quilt memories are made of. Why?
Because this 42 x 58” heirloom quilt counts down to Christmas with 25 interactive designs! It's literally an advent calendar in quilt form, with a different activity to enjoy every day.
For example, maybe one day you'll hang a stocking and the next day you'll unzip a present to find a special surprise. Each and every day is a delightful discovery for you and your loved ones!
Let's take a close look at the 25 activities and traditions you and your family can enjoy season...after season...after season with Cup of Cheer!
Day One
Unzip the present to find a note, candy, or activity coupon. What could you put in there? Tickets to a Christmas concert? A service coupon for a foot rub? A favorite scripture?
Day Two
Add "marshmallow" Wool Felt Balls to the cocoa mug. (They stick easily on hook & loop dots!) Also notice the stitched steam swirl above and the background quilting design with tiny mugs.
Speaking of which, look forward to building your library with the Cup of Cheer Background Quilting Bundle (sold separately and coming soon)!
Day Three
Hang three jingle bells from the darling holly button. (Leaves are made of soft Embroidery Felt!)
Day Four
Untie the ribbon bow and find a small treat or present. (Again, what would you tie here? A candy cane? A toy?)
Day Five
Add the dimensional, foamy cup of cheer (With a striped straw! How cute is that?) to the block.
Day Six
Find a note, candy, or activity coupon in the window of the house. (Yep, it's actually a tiny pocket!)
Days Seven, Eight, & Nine
Add little lace ornaments to the tree for three consecutive days. (They just hang right on the Cute as a Buttons!)
Day Ten
Tuck the snowman into the cozy mitten. (DARLING!) ⛄
Day 11
Add a beautiful bow of crimson Velveteen to the top of the wreath.
