“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

-Charles Dickens – A Tale of Two Cities

It’s almost Christmastime! Or to say in the words of Charles Dickens:

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

-Charles Dickens – A Tale of Two Cities

I know that Charles didn’t necessarily say this about Christmas, but this is how it feels to me often.

Christmastime is a busy time. Usually, too much for me: too many things happening in too short a period. However, I’ve been trying to find a way to like Christmas for myself for years. And quilting makes me happy! So why not combine quilting and Christmas? So I made this quilted Christmas hanger tutorial for you.

And it even has 2 options: You can keep it simple and playful, or you can make it more luxurious and add some layers.
