Hello, dear Moda Bake Shop Bakers! I hope you have been enjoying the Countdown to Christmas so far! My block today is a simple one. You can play up the simplicity with some fussy cut prints or just make it as designed – a humble farmhouse star.
December 6: Lucy’s Crown
I love hearing about holiday traditions from different cultures. When I was a girl, we had a wonderful program in our school where people from the community would come and teach us about different folk traditions. I loved learning about all the cultures that surrounded us in my New York City neighborhood. One that I remember was the story of St. Lucy’s Day in Scandinavian cultures and how the oldest girl in the family got to wear a crown of candles–how daring! My recollection might be a bit imprecise, but I’ve long had a vision of a girl in white carefully walking around a dim room lit by candlelight in her crown. Does anyone celebrate St. Lucy’s Day? What does your celebration look like?
December 5: Starry Night
Hello. My name is Mary Andra Holmes, one of the designers for Moda Bake Shop’s Countdown To Christmas. I love looking at the stars on a clear winter night when the sky is totally dark. It’s so full of wonder. My block is called Starry Night.

December 2: The Christmas Gift
Hi everyone! My name is Becky Thompson from the YouTube channel “Power Tools With Thread” and a blog by the same name. I am so honored to be part of Moda’s Countdown to Christmas 2020 quilt! This is a great quilt block if you are a beginner quilter or if you are teaching the next generation of quilters. It is a very simple block that is cut down to size at the end so everything fits just right. It’s layer cake friendly so you can make an entire quilt using this cute Christmas gift block. The unfinished block measures 12.5″ x 12.5″.
