Do you love advent and advent calendars? Do you love barns and quilts? Well coming to the blog every day in December starting Monday is ... the Barn Quilt Advent Calendar. One free printable pdf every day which you colour in, fold into a little barn and pop on the mantlepiece. You can fill it with sweets, chocolates or other small Christmas gifts.

If you be prepared to road test the prototype for me and give me feedback, send me an email and the first five will be emailed the pdf of the barn for the 1st of December.
