TRIVET MAKING A
To begin, follow along with the step-by-step picture instructions in this month’s Christmas Shorties collection showing
how to merge designs onto the CSBLANK quilt block. Substitute the Christmas Shorties designs for any of the Mergeable
Embroidery Designs from Hodgepodge Christmas (HPCM1 - HPCM36), being sure to check that their size doesn’t exceed
3.7” x 3.7”. If the design size exceeds 3.7”, choose a smaller design size instead. Once merged and stitched, lay the four
blocks into a square, as shown above. NOTE: For our example, we used the following design files: CSBLANK, HPCM1a,
HPCM23a, HPCM18a, and HPCM17a.

Focus the top row first. Once you get these two attached,
you will return to the second row.
With right sides together, clip or pin the two quilt blocks
together along the one side, being sure to line up their base
fabric’s tacking stitches.
