THE STITCH-ALONG:

Welcome to the 2025 Primitive Gatherings Countdown to Christmas Information Page! This stitch-along will officially begin Friday, October 3rd, 2025. It will run for TEN weeks total. Patterns will be released every Friday by 5:00 p.m. CST. They can be found both HERE on the information page by scrolling to the bottom, or by visiting the Primitive Gatherings website by clicking HERE, and putting “Countdown to Christmas 2025” into the search bar.

THE QUILT:

The 2025 Countdown to Christmas quilt is officially called Evergreen Christmas. It is a “mystery quilt,” which means you will not know what the final layout looks like until the very end! What we can tell you, is that it features 13 Christmas-themed wool appliqué blocks on an evergreen cotton background (on point), and finishes at approximately 79.5″ x 79.5″.

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS – QUILT TOP:

• GREEN – 4 1/2 yards

• WHITE – 4 yards

• RED – 2 yards

* BINDING – fabric is included in above requirements

* BACKING – requires an additional 6 yards of fabric

KIT OPTIONS:

We are offering a few different kit options for your convenience. PLEASE NOTE: Due to high demand, we are no longer able to get the background and setting fabrics shown in the photos below. All kits going forward will be substituted with correlating BELLA fabrics only. Fabrics will be the same color but they will be solid and not feature a print. Thank you for understanding!

• WOOL OPTION – $84.50 – Includes all wools needed for the appliqué portion of the quilt (patterns are not included).

• COTTON OPTION – $160.00 – Includes all fabrics needed for the cotton portion of the quilt (patterns are not included). PLEASE NOTE: Due to high demand, we have substituted the fabric for this quilt from the original shown.  We are no longer able to get the background and setting fabric, so all kits going forward will be BELLA fabrics only. Thank you for understanding.

• FULL KIT OPTION – $244.50 – Includes all cotton fabrics and wools needed to complete the quilt top (patterns are included – you will receive the appliqué shape layouts in the wool kit, and then each week you will receive a downloadable pattern for your block layouts).

• PATTERN DOWNLOADS ONLY – Includes weekly, DIGITAL PDF downloads for $5.00 each for the duration of the stitch-along. PLEASE NOTE: Printed patterns are not available at this time.
