Nutcracker Tradition Fabric Collection - Christmas Mice Midnight

Woodland Christmas magic comes to life against the deep, wintry backdrop of Christmas Mice Midnight. Sweet little mice dressed in festive red and neutral outfits sit within delicate green leafy wreaths, creating charming miniature scenes across the rich midnight-blue ground. Scattered stars and tiny dots in red, cream, and green fill the open spaces with just enough sparkle to make the print feel like a clear December night. The darker background gives the playful illustrations wonderful contrast while adding a cozy, sophisticated quality that works beautifully in holiday quilts, stockings, table runners, and seasonal décor. Whimsical without feeling overly busy, this print brings together storybook charm and classic Christmas colors in a design that is easy to coordinate with both festive prints and quieter blenders.

The Nutcracker Tradition Fabric Collection by Jennifer Long brings the wonder of a classic holiday story to life with playful characters, festive details, and a palette that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Rich midnight blues, deep pine greens, berry reds, soft pinks, crisp whites, and touches of teal and gold flow throughout the collection, creating plenty of opportunities for warm, coordinated Christmas projects. Nutcracker soldiers, ballerinas, wrapped gifts, ornaments, tiny stars, woodland greenery, and storybook scenes give the prints a lively mix of focal designs and easy-to-use coordinates. Each print is made from 100% cotton and measures approximately 44" wide, making the collection a versatile choice for quilts, stockings, pillows, tree skirts, table décor, and handmade holiday gifts. The variety of scales and motifs makes it easy to build a project that feels layered and detailed without becoming visually overwhelming. Altogether, the collection captures the excitement of holiday traditions, from decorating the tree to settling in for a favorite seasonal performance.

For an especially charming way to showcase the collection, a free downloadable Decorate the Tree Panel Quilt pattern is available and was also designed by Jennifer Long. Finishing at approximately 53" x 59", the quilt centers around the whimsical panel artwork and frames it with coordinating fabrics for a festive project that highlights the collection’s personality. The pattern is well suited to a confident beginner, offering an approachable way to create a polished seasonal quilt while still enjoying a bit of piecing variety. Its finished size works beautifully as a throw, wall quilt, or decorative holiday accent that can be displayed year after year. Because the fabrics balance bold illustrated scenes with quieter supporting prints, the finished quilt feels cohesive while still giving each design room to stand out. Whether used for the featured pattern or mixed into your own Christmas sewing plans, Nutcracker Tradition makes it easy to create projects filled with color, character, and timeless holiday charm.
