What are the 12 days of Christmas?
The 12 days of Christmas is the period in Christian theology that marks the span between the birth of Christ and the coming of the Magi, the three wise men. It begins on December 25 (Christmas) and runs through January 6 (the Epiphany, sometimes also called Three Kings’ Day). The four weeks preceding Christmas are collectively known as Advent, which begins four Sundays before Christmas and ends on December 24.

We design this beautiful quilt as an affordable wall hanging to decorate your home, traditional or modern. Well made products from The Lace And Linens Co. are always a delightful inspiration. And this quilted tradition can be purchased for a song, literally. 12 days of Christmas has been a popular children’s song for centuries, and is still well known today. We select the oldest known 1780 version “Mirth without Mischief”, originated in France to create this design.
The theme of this Wall Hanging is a traditional Children’s Christmas song for centuries, made even more popular today by Disney’s Sing Along Songs, as well as My Little Pony Friendship is Magic.
Beautifully appliqued in deep Christmas colours : Red, Green, Royal Blue. Hand quilting 6-7 stitches per inch throughout the entire wall hanging. To add aesthetic interests, hand quilted Christmas motifs in quadruple layers along the border: stars and holly leaves. Finishing edge is quilted “rolling wave” on red printed fabric with green trim.
