The Calendar is full of Lori Holt vintage style eye candy, lots of quilts, kitchens and domesticity plus a regular calendar with USA dates which is a bit of a novelty to a Brit! It also comes with two rotary cut versions of the school house pattern- different sizes- and instructions to make a mini quilt and a pillow. UK/EU quilters who want the calendar in time for new year can find it at Pretty Fabrics and Trims.
I started on the smallest house. I love how the big pieces shrink down quickly when sewing them together. I then made the little block into a quilty zip pocket following Lori's free pattern from her blog; it's a great tutorial to use for single blocks and easy to adapt for different sizes. The seams are finished with zig zag inside but you could also finish with twill tape to hide all the edges. Mine ended up 6" x 8" approx.
I love all the fiddly small bits you work into something so sweet.
