Eldreth Pottery Pendant Winner
Congrats to BizyStitches - you're the winner of the pottery pendant. Pick your preference - red basket block or blue bee skep - and let me know along with your mailing address. Thanks to everyone who commented on their favorite collectibles. Just a note - not everything in the cubby was purchased on my trip. The cubby was the find so I could load it up with junk I already had.Icicle Kisses is Here!
I can't believe it's time to think about Christmas quilting already! We both know if we don't make a plan now, it won't be done before the holidays. So now is the time to pick up the new Icicle Kisses fabric and precuts for a a couple of great new projects, both easy enough to make several for gifts and one for yourself! Icicle Stars simplifies a classic star block with our signature layered patchwork technique, making more perfect blocks with less work. By layering different sizes of triangles on squares and rectangles, star points and trees are created with a fun texture and primitive appeal. For a scrappy look, start with a Jelly Roll; for blocks with a consistent background fabric, choose fat 1/8's and 1/4's.

Decorations for their trees! They're all different to suit their own styles. I didn't do it one year whilst we were renovating and they all complained!
ReplyDeleteYippee, I sent you an email stating that I picked the blue one. Thanks. It seems mug rugs are really popular right now and who couldn't use one next to their computer. I also hope to make a lap quilt with scrappy greens for my sister.
ReplyDeleteI like to make small wall hangings or table runners for Christmas gifts - and I give them at Thanksgiving so they can be used and enjoyed during the holidays.
ReplyDeleteBecause I gift so many I like little table mats, wall hangings, pin cushions, the list is long. Your pattern is very eye catching and I could see it above my fireplace mantel with snowman figurines below! Cute!
ReplyDeleteI love making bags and wallets for gifts. I also made three quilts for my kids and husband this year for gifts. I didn't finish them until Valetine's Day though. Better late than never!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt! Can't to get some of Icicle Kisses fabric! I like making table toppers and runners for Christmas gifts and a new Christmas quilt for my grandson.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is gorgeous! Sounds like a really interesting technique that you are using! I just made some gifts for my family...a tote for my sister, a table topper for my Mom, and a table runner for another sister. Keeps me busy!
ReplyDeleteThat Starry Kisses quilt is cute! I like to make anything quilty for my friends and family-anything from small wall hangings to full size quilts. Placemats and mug rugs are also favorites.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a quilt. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteSince I do a lot of mailing, the gifts are table runners, placemats, wool candle mats, etc. Would love to win. Love the quilt with the tree border.
ReplyDeleteThose two patterns look really nice in Icicle Kisses! I like to make bags, table toppers/runners and lap quilts. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI like the new fabric line...hard to believe Christmas fabrics are already coming out. So far I have only given quilts as holiday gifts. Thanks for the chance at your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI got my Icicle Kisses pattern today - I won it from you!! Thanks again - it is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI have made lap quilts and table runners for family and friends. I enjoy making the table runners as they are quick and I often have coordinating fabric to pull something together. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI love to give anything quilted...some of my favorite gifts to give are quilted totes, wall hanging, table runner even quilts, usually lap size. Thanks for a chance at winning the giveaway! Happy stitching, Pauline
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win your lovely pattern. I have made many oven mitts & matching handtowels, as well as tissue box covers.
ReplyDeleteTablerunners or wall quilts that make up fast & not too large :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy anything home made. I start in September and finish up the 24th of December. Even though I say the 15th will be my cut off date. I just can't stop myself.
ReplyDeleteI make lots of home made gifts---from jams & jellies to table runners to tote bags to wall hangings. I try to do things that won't take a really long time as I usually do several each year.
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas, I've knitted scarves, hats, shawls, afghans and I've sewn Christmas table toppers, lap quilts, mug rugs and hot pads. Plus I bake lots of cookies. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI try to make several homemade gifts every year, but everyone gets a homemade ornament every year. Both my kids have quite a selection for their trees now!

I enjoy making bags for the young women, lap quilts for the sons. Don't have enough time to make bigger quilts for everyone!
ReplyDeleteI usually end up making table runners or handbags for birthday gifts but have also made a few queen size quilts for Christmas gifts. One year my goal is for Christmas to make a quilt for each of my 2 children and 2 stepchildren and for the 6 grandchildren. I guess I better get going.
ReplyDeleteLike this new fabric!! I like giving table runners and much easier to mail. When my daughters were growing up, we made homemade gifts for everyone, especially the grandparents...I miss that part of Christmas.

I make an ornament for each of the recipients, that is usually the 'bow on the gift package'. I make pillows, table runners, curtains, quilts, toys, a variety of items. I work on Christmas 365 days a year. thanks for a chance to win a sweet pattern and charm
ReplyDeleteFor gifts I like to make small wall hangings, bags, ornaments or fabric baskets. Thanks for the great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteEvery year I make something different, wall hangings, ornaments, purses, applique hand towels, quilts, table runners, always looking for something to make for people I love that will be useful and wanted.
ReplyDeleteI usually make table runners or table toppers and lots 0f ornaments either quilted or embroidered. Love your new patterns and can't wait to see your new fabric.
ReplyDeleteI normally tackle small projects for Christmas gifts - table toppers, table runners, and throw-size quilts. I enjoy doing the handwork on smaller pieces and can work on them on-the-go!
ReplyDeleteChristmas, Oh MY! I make PJs for all the family, last year I made hand towels for the kitchen for neighbor gifts. I want to make a christmas quilt for my DIL, for sure, and I'd like to make some holiday tablerunners. Thanks,
ReplyDeleteLast year I made infinity scarves with cuddle fabric, quilts with Cattails and Clover, Table Runners with The Grinch fabric and even made my daughter a tree skirt...wow I was busy!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the icicle stars! I usually make a pillowcase with a fun fabric for kids, table runners with matching dish towels, potholders and placemats for my Mom or sisters, throws for the guys and sometimes totes for teens.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy making projects of all sizes for family and friends. I've done large bed quilts, small table runners, and just finished a lap quilt for Mom for Mother's Day. That one earned me some "double bonus points" from Mom, as it had a hummingbird print (her favorite bird) as the focus fabric. She loved it! Would love to win the Starry Kisses and charm set. Thank you for the opportunity. :o)
ReplyDeleteI sometimes make some small quilts or table runners, pincushions, framed quilt blocks, needle punch projects, etc. Whatever I think the person will like or enjoy is what I try to make.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to win.
Absolutely loved all your finds. Brimfield and the Ohio town was added to my bucket list!
I have made quilts for my niece, nephew and daughter for graduation. Still have my son, another niece and another nephew to go. And now that my daughter and her friends are getting older and getting married, I supposed I'll be making baby quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love this quilt pattern! Quilts and tablerunners are still my favorite gifts for Christmas presents.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet giveaway. I would love to win this pattern!
I love your quilt patterns and fabric, so cute! Last year I made aprons for gifts for my sisters and daughter and myself (smile). I like to also make wall hangings and table runners for gifts. I've made more quilts than I can remember also for gifts through the years. I love fabric. Everyone loves a home made gift. Thanks for the give away.
ReplyDeleteI like to make small projects--scarves, table runners, handbags--although one year everyone received a scrap quilt (I only needed to make 4). I love your new fabrics and patterns--thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYour tabletoppers make great birthday gifts; I have made a couple of very special photo/memory quilts for graduations, and wall hangings for Christmas....jmh
ReplyDeleteThis year I plan on making some wall hanging mini quilts and some cushions! I love those pretty stars!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful stars pattern!This year I`d love to do a big size christmas quilt and a new wallhanging and also add some decoration to the old one.
ReplyDeleteI usually make lap or baby quilts, many of my baby quilts end up closer to lap size. I love the new line you picked a fantastic name, LOVE it. Great giveaway, thank you. ;-> Toni Anne
ReplyDeleteI make quilts for my grandsons through out the year. I enjoy making wall hangings, table runners, and small seasonal projects to share.
ReplyDeleteI make various items for friends and family - quilts, wool needle holders, pin cushions, placemats, baby quilts and napkins. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Lana
ReplyDeleteI found a pattern a few years ago that you take socks and make snowmen out of them. You can decorate these anyway you want. The grand kids and I make them for gifts for their teachers and one or two friends. I run the hot glue gun. I also make quilts for Christmas presents. Everyone takes a turn for a new quilt. I love your new line.
ReplyDeleteI love Icicle Kisses! Can't wait until it comes on the bolt so I can finish my strip quilt.
ReplyDeleteI like to make mug rugs or table toppers for Christmas gifts.
Every year since my kids were small I have made everyone an ornament for Christmas. I also make table runners or candle mats for gifts. Waiting for the new line would like to make my son and new daughter-in-law a tree skirt.
ReplyDeleteEach year I make a Christmas decoration for each of the children in my class, usually a felt Santa or a small stocking. I also share a twelve days of Christmas swap with my sister and niece where we make 12 small gifts or ornaments for each other, send them off and then have the fun of opening a gift each day until Christmas.
ReplyDeleteTable runners, pot holders, decorative tea towels, placemats see to make the best gifts. For really special people a quilt.
ReplyDeleteMy family seem to enjoy table runners and always use any that I give them.
ReplyDeleteIcicle Kisses is a great fabric line that I am hoping to add to my KT collections!
Love making tablerunners/toppers for family members. Starry Kisses would be a perfect one to make. Thanks fo chance to win.

I like to do small embroidered stockings and table toppers for my family and friends.
ReplyDeletePillow cases can be works of art. Plus, you can wrap a gift with a personalized pillowcase.
ReplyDeleteI love both quilts. I'm thinking small this year and have some casserole carriers made for gifts.
ReplyDeleteI'm making up table runners with stars on them this year. I'm thinking a sawtooth type of star would be both challenging and pretty.
ReplyDeleteI like making table runners, wall hangings and or table toppers. I love any KT fabric......sometimes it's hard to let it go though, but whenever I do give it away, the person that receives it loves it!!!
ReplyDeleteBev Eckert
p.s. Was great meeting you yesterday, enjoyed the class!!! Thanks again! <3
Wow - just thinking Christmas - time is not standing still.
ReplyDeleteI usually like to make lap/pillow quilts for my sons who drive truck and also I try to make "quilty" things for my grands in their special interest/color preferences. Made all the "birthday" gifts and can now start on the Holidays.
Also for the senior center love to make lap quilts and pocket hangers to put on walkers to keep all the "treasures."
Thanks

ReplyDeleteChristmas is coming early! Your wall hanging would be a perfect gift for one of my family to use for their Christmas decoration, probably my dear baby sister with her Christmas bears.
Thanks for the chance.
;I never win so I just ordered the pattern and have some of the material already from a local quilt shop The pattern is beautiful. The smaller one will go on my oak table for the Christmas season. The full quilt as a gift for my sister who is in a battle with breast cancer to give her a warm hug as she is sooo far away! love the fabric!
