Several weeks ago I was contacted by the lovely ladies of Purl to see if I would be interested in collaborating with them. They had spotted my always-a-work-in-progess tree quilt, and wanted to complete a project and free tutorial based off my design. Of course it was such an honour for me to agree!
Page and Joelle have now posted their completed Lovely Little Forest Quilt project, along with a journal, pattern, and tutorial on their Purl Bee Blog. The little quilt that they have created makes me happy, and I hope that you will love as well!
Are you thinking of making a Little Forest Quilt, too? I have put together a few special packages, filled with a variety of green and brown fabric cut from my own stash. With each package you will be able to make at least 30 tree squares - more than enough to make the beautiful Purl Bee quilt. (Or you can keep on adding trees and make a larger quilt, as I plan on doing.) With each kit I have also included print-outs of the little tree square instructions, and links to the online Purl Bee project journal. (You will need to supply a few materials yourself, including white background fabric, and sewing supplies.)
This contest has now ended. A big thank-you to everyone who entered and left comments!

i was looking forward to your december pattern-its just as great as november!!
I have just discovered your blog-through the Purl site--and I love your work. I'd be thrilled to enter a contest!
It's a lovely quilt that has a calming and soothing feel to it. As the hardest part is collecting fabrics that blend together well I'm delighted to find you're willing to reach a helping hand. And if the winning numbers go my way, I'd surely be a happy quilter.
That would be wonderful!!!
Thank you very much to share your talent with us. Looking foward to start my own little forest quilt.
i've just started quilting and would love to attempt this project!
oh, and i used to live on the university campus that you live on now. but my dorm room was nowhere near as beautiful as your home!

I have this quilt on my to do list! It's lovely. Would be great if half the work was done for me:) Thanks for the give away!

I love your work and have an address file which I think is one of the most delightful things in my workroom! Thanks for sharing such beauty!
I live in a different area of the, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where we're also surrounded by many trees. Your little quilt is a beautiful tribute to them, and it looks like it would be fun to make.
So gorgeous! Thanks for a fun giveaway.

I have been admiring your tree quilt since you first posted it!

Oh, I was instantly in love with this quilt.I just moved house and making that up and hanging it on the wall would be just the right bit of Christmas cheer.
I would LOVE to make a tree quilt! I love the rows of multicolored trees: so organized, yet diverse. Thanks for the giveaway, I'm a big fan of your blog!
Beautiful! I would love to have a quilting project to do over winter evenings!

This quilt is so fun! It reminds me of home in Washington state-I really miss all the fir trees. I would leave this one up all year, not just for the holidays.

thanks for the chance - your fabric selection is 'lovely'. it would be a nice winter project.
Beautiful quilt. I don't quilt myself but I'm really thinking about quilting after seening your beautiful forest quilt!
Your quilt is beautiful, I was so excited when I saw the tutorial for it on Purl Bee. I'm trying to work out how I can make a version with 25 little tree-pockets to use as an advent calendar - I was thinking of cutting the tree pieces on a fold and then leaving the folded edges in the middle unstitched so I could slip a little message or activity inside. Not something I'll get to in time for this Christmas, but hopefully for next year.
beautiful quilt! love the trees. very seasonal!
Thanks for this tutorial! I would love to win!
oh - i LOVE this quilt and would love to win!

Please add my name to the list for this generous give-away!
Have enjoyed finding and visiting your lovely Website.
Cheers!
Oh, I would love to win!! This is a beautiful project.
I love trees. Your little quilt is too adorable. thanks.
I would love to win the package. Just finished a quilt and am looking for one to do next.. this one would be perfect. Thank you!
The quilt it so cute! A Little Forest Quilt would be a great present to make for a special someone!
I'd almost be afraid to win this contest - then I would HAVE to make a quilt, something that I've been contemplating for some time but have been leery to take on another craft!
Oh, I love the little trees! I was just admiring it on purl bee recently. Your name/company has been popping up a lot lately I think!
I used to spend summers with my grandmother in Kansas, who was a prolific quilter. I have always wanted to try my hand at it, but had never seen a pattern that spoke to me, until this one. Thank you for the chance to win this and for the positive, kindness-filled, inspiring posts you make here.
I have been waiting to see how you would finish it this sweet and simple quilt. It is really so pretty.
Ooh! Ooh! I want to make this so badly. So, so badly. Perhaps more badly than I want one of your journals. That's pretty bad.

Wow, that must be so exciting to have had your project catch the attention of the ladies at Purl Bee. Congratulations! I've made some similarly styled trees and every time I see your progress I'm inspired to get to work on my own projects. I wouldn't mind starting another one from your set of samples!
I would have already started to make this lovely quilt for our home if only I was more organized in completing my gifts for this year! If I am lucky enough to win, I will start this project in the New Year to avoid the pre-Christmas rush...Thank you for sharing your lovely pattern!
The quilt is adorable and I'd love to work on one! Our daughters are the same age (to the day...I think) and I love reading about how other little ones are doing.
What a great project. I would love to make this tree quilt. It could make a cute advent sort of calendar too!
I LOVE this! I was just trying to find something to make for my entry way... this would be it! I hope I win but I might have to hit the fabric store tomorrow and get started... Thanks!
When I saw this on Purl I thought it was so fantastic, but was bummed I didn't have enough greens in my scraps or yardage. This would be prefect!
This is a wonderful and generous giveaway! Winning would be pretty cool as Dec. 9th is my birthday [a big one at that...]
No pressure though ;)

I'm a new quilter (hah ... calling myself a quilter is a bit indulgent) and am almost finished my first quilt! I'd love to try your tree quilt as my second project!
I haven't tackled a quilt yet, but I think that with a lovely fabric set & the great tutorial over at the purl bee, I'd be able to give it a shot! It's a beautiful design.

I love your blog, it's a little bit of peace in a hectic day, and I really admire your style. Fabulous ideas too often a springboard for my teaching activities. Thank you!!!

I would love one! My daughters will be moving to big girl beds in a year or so and I want to make them quilts -- and since it will take me that long to make soon, I want to get started soon! I love this design.
love it & need one
I just received my beautiful address file in the mail a few weeks ago and have had such a good time filling out the cards. Perfect for my x-mas cards that need to be sent out! I'm new to the world of quilting but I would LOVE to try my hand at the tree quilt. Your starter package of fabrics would be such a treat. I wish they were for sale so I could snag one quickly!! Thanks so much!
I love the tree quilt. the different shades and patterns of green are very appealing.
oh, i just love the tree quilt! beautiful work, as always.
That is a beautiful quilt! I would love to make one myself:)
This is one of the prettiest quilts I have ever seen! I would be honored to win!

Oh, how I would love to make one of these little quilts myself! stephanieandgraham at rogers dot com
I love this little quilt! I'm not a collector of green fabrics, so it would be great to have a selection of greens to make this quilt. I've seen it on the wall of your photos, uncompleted and often thought of trying to make one for myself - i'm so glad there is a pattern now! My brain is too fried this time of year to figure things out on my own. :)
Very sweet. This might be the motivation I need to get sewing again when 3 year old and baby are in bed.
