I'm back with more Christmas in July information! I bet you'd love to know what we have in store for you, huh? Well, mark down these days, cuz I ain't tellin', so you'll just have to check in each Monday in July :)
Schedule:
Schedule:
July 2: me! and Jessica from Quilty Habit
July 9: Jessica from Make Me Crafty and Chelsea from Pins and Bobbins
July 16: Kelsey from Kelsey Sews and Bianca from Sweet Diesel Designs
July 23: Jennifer from Knotted Thread and Katie from There and Back
July 30: YOU...link up your finished holiday projects for pats on the back from everyone and a chance at some great prizes!
I hear some of you thinking "And just what are those prizes, hmmm...?"
Prize #1:
This fantastical bundle of holiday cheer was put together by the wonderful team over at Pink Castle Fabrics after I requested a bundle o' basics. This bundle of 8 FQs could be mixed in with any holiday fabrics you might have, or could be used to make a holiday project that doesn't have Santas and snowmen all over it
Prize #2:
Picture from Sew Love Fabrics Etsy shop, where I purchased the bundle |
A Christmas scrap bag! This was put together by Sew Love Fabrics and contains about 2 yards of fabric.
Prize #3:
A panel from Kate Spain's Flurry [I think it's approximately 2/3 yd], 3 yards of insanely adorable itty bitty pom pom trim in white, and 1/2 yd Kona White [not pictured].
Prize #4:
Clearly I need to work on my fabric circle skills to be like Pink Castle Fabrics |
Exciting stuff, yes?
So those are the prizes for the linky party starting July 30th! I'll be announcing later what categories there are to enter. And make sure you're commenting and participating throughout, because I have a couple other goodies/giveaways up my sleeve for Mondays in the month of July! :)
1/2 yd Essex linen in Natural, 1 flour sack tea towel, blank greeting cards, Insul-Bright, 2.5" binding in Pimatex Basics by Robert Kaufman made by me |
And I want everyone to be getting really really excited about this event, so I have a giveaway for today! Today's winner will be getting a mini prize pack of some items that are supplies for some of the tutorials during Christmas in July! So one lucky person will be so prepared already when July rolls around.

ReplyDeleteI would love to make a Christmas quilt this year - let's see if I can squeeze it in!

ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! I've been looking forward to Christmas in July ever since you mentioned it because I started a mosaic nativity Christmas quilt two years ago and it's still in my UFO pile. The main reason is just what you mentioned: Christmas comes around and ACK TOO MUCH TO DO. So I was already determined to work on it this summer and your celebration will be a great motivator. Thanks for the fun giveaway today too!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I follow you in my google reader, not sure if that counts!
ReplyDeleteVery excited to see what everyone makes! I have some charm packs of Joy that I'd like to turn into either Christmas placemats or a lap quilt to put on the couch during holiday time. We'll see what I come up with!
ReplyDeleteEach year my family does a secret Santa for some one in the neighborhood. This year I want to make a wall hanging for each family (I believe we plan to do 3 this year) and one for my self. I started quilting end of Dec last year and saw a 12 days wall hanging and I want to make that (if I can find the pattern)

I'm going to make everyone in the family tablerunners this year. I gave a few to friends last year & my family saw them before I wrapped them & now they want one. Thanks for having a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSo far I plan two wallhangings (one as a gift) and some felt ornaments.
ReplyDeleteI love to make tablerunners, so I'm hoping and planning on making some for Christmas.

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Christmas in July! I always make a quilt for our family gathering, a large group of extended family. All the adults bring a large nice gift and we get to try to get the one we want. Was thinking this year's quilt might be a Christmas quilt.

ReplyDeleteAhh, Christmas gifts. I have not decided what I want to make. Mom is hinting around for another quilt and my sister has hinted about a purse. So I might try both of them or something totally different.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower!
ReplyDeleteBlogged and added the button! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have at least a dozen tops and tree skirts ready to be quilted. It would be nice to get a few of them finished!
ReplyDeleteI've added you to my Google Reader. Good job on the skirt!
