This hop has me jazzed and I hope you are finding lots of inspiration from the talented ladies here. Thanks to Madame Samm and Carol for this extremely fun event. It is great to see everyone’s creations. The inspiration should keep us busy from now until the holidays.
Everything I made came from my bountiful yet dated fabric stash.

Have you ever had a cup of Christmas tea? The book by Tom Hegg will top off your holiday season. It’s always great to have friends in for the holiday if for no other reason than just tea. It was great to hear the book on tape and sit with friends. The story will make you slow down and appreciate life.
This narrow quilt of stacked of Christmas gifts will hang nicely in my hallway. Easy piecing and some metallic gold thread used for quilting the center block around the poinsettias.

A bit of fused appliqué and blanket stitch has created a small wall hanging that’ll make a nice gift. Blue is just not me,
Here’s my repurpose idea for the holiday. These tall pasta jars are perfect for dipped pretzel sticks. A quilted bib for the jar held tight with velcro. The holly is a tiny bit of the Petal Play technique and beads for the berries. Sometimes these jars are available at the dollar stores.
Embroidery on the edge of this half circle napkin using a backstitch sings the old song about going to grandmother’s house. At least one is completed and the other just needs assembly. There are two more cut just waiting for their stitching and completion.
My friend was over the other day and I got her started on these
quick and easy coasters. Yep, she’s
hooked too. Absolutely no hand stitching.
Now it's time to jump on Santa's sleigh and fly over to see what's up with the other bloggers scheduled for today. But not to worry, there are several more days of this exciting hop. Plus you can always backup and see what you have missed. Just click Santa's bag that says Ho Ho Ho on the sidebar at the top.

ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely projects. I adore all of them. I love the blue angel. Blue is so me. My first husband used to tell me that if he didn't go shopping with me, everything I owned would be blue and sailor. The Christmas package wall hanging will look great hanging in a hall. I wish I knew how to make those marvelous coasters. Guess I'll have to surf the web to see if I can find a tutorial. Thanks for participating and being a great inspiration with all the eye candy.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely your projects. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteGreats projects. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on all your projects. Your wall hangings are really cute. I love the one with the gifts. And the bib for the jars is a great idea. These would be so cute to fill with candy and give out at Christmas. I also love the coasters. I like making hexies so I like how you fussy-cut the Santas to put in the centers. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are ready for Christmas!!! Creative ideas... Thanks for joining the blog hop!
ReplyDeleteAll kinds of Christmas inspiration here. I love the narrow wall hanging the best but the angels are lovely as well. Blue is perfect for angels even if not your personal choice---look at your blog name and we all know why, LOL. The coasters look like a fun make and take project. I still have some plans to make a few myself, after I saw Linda W's on her blog. THX for sharing your time and talents with us today.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your ideas, I like the pasta jar one, I will have to check out the Dollar Store and Goodwill, see what I can find. And I really enjoyed looking at all the watermelon projects you have done, how happy they are!
