25 Quilting Products to Ring in the New Year
Jan 03, 2024
Happy New Year, Joyful and Merry Quilter!
If you've been following me for the last month or so, you probably heard all about my 25 Day Christmas Countdown on YouTube, where each day I pulled a new surprise out of Santa's bag: A discount on a great product, a quilting tip, a pattern, or something else that could add some joy to your quilting experience. And I've said it before, but it's worth repeating: I do not endorse or promote any product that I don't love and use myself!
I wanted to create an easy place for you to reference everything we revealed without having to dig through each video, and a first blog post to kick off 2024 seemed like the perfect place!
So, here's a recap of each day of our 25 Day December Advent. Many of these discounts are still available - but depending on when you read this, some may have expired. You'll find the links to each of these products below their pictures - and remember, some of these have discount codes for you to apply at checkout - so don't miss them!
Note: Joyful and Merry Quilting often uses affiliate links to recommended products, and may receive minimal sums when you purchase through these links, at NO additional cost to you. You are in no way obligated to use these links. Thank you for your support!
