It's not too early to start those Christmas Projects and this blog hop will certainly fill you with all sorts of inspiration as to different things you could start on! I haven't done a blog hop in a few months since I was super busy with some pattern designing and my son's graduation. Now that things have settled down a little bit... I though it was time to join another hop and this one sounded like so much fun! Plus, it would give me a little jump start to get some Christmas sewing done... Thank you Carol and Madame Samm for another wonderful hop.
I decided to work on a Santa embroidery mini quilt... the pattern is available on my Craftsy and Etsy shops. I also made a couple of snowman coasters. I like having little things like the coasters on hand for the holidays for gift giving. I just love the striped fabric that I found, I should have bought more! I am partial to stripe fabric, love to use it in binding!
I will be giving the Santa Embroidery PDF pattern away to two lucky winners. I'm using rafflecopter for the giveaway, so for a chance to win, leave me a lovely comment on what you are working on... for extra chances like my facebook page and be a Doodle Blog follower. Wilson and I will choose two winners on the 10th. Good luck!!!

ReplyDeleteSadly, I sent most of my fabric home in anticipation of our move in a couple months, so sewing has been limited to a few projects I kept here... Thus, no sewing for this upcoming Christmas. BUT, I am sewing with some Christmas fabric as I'm almost finished sewing the top of a Christmas tree skirt that will be a wedding present for a friend!
ReplyDeleteThe snowmen coasters are so cute!

ReplyDeleteYour Santa embroidery is so pretty! Love the snowman blocks, too!
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled I have found you through this blog hop. I love your designs. Will be making gifts for my friends from your designs.
ReplyDeleteLove them! I am working on potholders and zipper bags to have on hand for Christmas gifts, and have most of the squares pieced for a Christmas-gift quilt.
ReplyDeleteI am making some quilt blocks that look like Christmas presents for a Quilt Group Block Draw. The brief is that they should finish at 12" in the quilt so we can have two or three winners.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I have varying sizes of present and different methods of making them but will have to choose the best and write the instructions soon.
Love your embroidery pattern! The tree looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute snowmen Cindy, I hope you have much success with your new patterns !

Cute projects, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! I just finished my second T-shirt quilt for my oldest daughter. Earlier this year I made one for my youngest. Just can't seem to do Christmas yet as I have so many UfOs to catch up with. Embroidery seems to be pretty popular on the Hop. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on the Primitive Gatherings BOW blocks---they look very Christmasy! Love those cute snowmen!
ReplyDeleteI am always looking for Christmas redwork designs and this one is lovely. Thanks for the chance to win it.
ReplyDeleteI'm working on a quilt for my niece's new baby - made my own design with bear paw blocks set on point with 4 solid blocks that will be appliqued to match her theme.
ReplyDeleteAs usual you have done a spectacular job with your project. I so love your santa stitchery! I am working away on a project a day for the blog hop. It's a personal goal. Hoping to have most of my holiday projects done long before the holidays arrive. Oh what I could do with the extra time! LOL!
ReplyDeleteYour Santa is very cute, but I just love those snowmen coasters. I'll be making some of those to have on hand for quick gifts! Thanks for sharing your lovely work. I am working on my project for this hop--due next week!! I'm working on a Christmas tree skirt, but I do have another project completed. lol

I am working on finishing a Christmas tree skirt that I started several years ago. I recently cleaned/organized my sewing room & found a TON of UFO's. Many of them were Christmas items. I am going to finish those before I start on any new ones. I may be in trouble after looking at all the fabulous things in this blog hop!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI too am finishing up tree skirts from a few years ago, hahaha what are the odds. And I'm trying to figure out how I can acquire new fabric to make my mom and my dad lap quilts, as they requested. I will probably be making snowman coasters in the near future too!

I am doing a Xmas quilt for my living room
ReplyDeleteLove your snowmen to bits! I must start making some more coasters for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty, I have not started working on anything yet. I have, however started preparing a list of ideas to make and for whom. That's further than I was last year at this time so I guess that's good.
ReplyDeleteI do so like the coasters. I'd like to do some myself.
ReplyDeleteI am crocheting ruffle scarfs right now, but am planning several small items with EPP, I love your embroidery and coasters.
ReplyDeleteLovely embroiderie and fun snowmen; two nice projects. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove your embroidery and the coasters are adorable. I always like to see stripes in other people's work but have been a little timid to use it myself. I've made a table runner, some coasters, a wall hanging, and a few other things so far.
ReplyDeleteHiya Cindy!!! I love your coasters. I like to make little things like that as gifts too. Thanks for sharing and having the giveaway. Merry Christmas, blessed be, hugs!!! Pam

I love the embroidery. Two people are going to be thrilled. The coasters are so cute. They would be cute put into a table runner, too. Right now I have several projects in the works - I have a queen size quilt to scallop and bind, a double wedding ring quilt a 90 year old friend made for me that I need to bind (binding is cut but not sewn together), embroidery blocks for a quilt, a shop hop quilt is cut out and ready to applique and stitch, a Dear Jane quilt BOM participation, a Barbara Brackman Civil war BOM at LQS, a cross stitch project for my bro and his wife for Christmas. And my daughter just asked me to knit some dish cloths for her. Yep, I'm retired on disability. So, much doesn't get finished. Thanks for participating and sharing your wonderful creativity and being generous with your giveaway. Hope Winston is a genius when it comes to picking an appreciative recipient.
ReplyDeleteThose are really cute. Love the snowmen! I, too, love stripes for binding.
ReplyDeleteTable runner, mug rugs, a small wall hanging and a quilt.
ReplyDeleteBetween my day job and my evening job (canning vegs from the garden!), I haven't been getting any quilting done, but hopefully will be able to get back to the sewing room soon.
ReplyDeletethis is a fun blog hop and I like your projects. I'm working on quilting a young boy's quilt.
ReplyDeleteI just started a snowman blue work wallhanging. This is my first hand embroidery project.
