Ho Ho Ho Blog Hop Day 5

                                            
Just a stitchin' along singing my song...

Oh the songs that are running thru my head. It's way too soon to be singing Sleigh Bells Ring...Are you listening!

I've had more fun on my embroidery machine with PJ's in the Hoop projects. Gift card holders. I'll just bet that just about everyone has at least 1 gift card they give during the holiday. Are these just about the cutest way to wrap them up?

Also, a set of coasters from PJ's In the Hoop. It's been a very long time since I fired up the ole embroidery machine. I didn't realize just how much I have missed it. I'm thinking these guys will make a nice gift, with a bottle of wine and a set of glasses.

Heck, they were so much fun to make, that I might just have to make one for every place setting on my Christmas table. Whew, we are up to 29 in the family. Guess I better get started on that right now!  :-)

But first, lets see just what everyone else is up to, in the hop today!

Ho Ho Ho Blog Hop Day 4

                                             
Whew, day 4 already. Are your heads spinning for all the creativity!
Looks like this is going to be one fabulous Holiday Season!

I found the cutest border print, that was perfect for holiday towels. There are 2 different prints in this piece. A 1/2 yard piece gives you enough for 8 towels.

1 yard of this fun waffle cone print, a coordinating print from that line, was just enough for all the ruffles.

I love having kitchen towels on hand for quick gifts, and I shop for them all year long. These will be great  in gift baskets filled special treats!  Remember PigTales and Quilts fabulous gingerbread ideas last week?  I think she is on to something!

Here is the list of our blog hoppers today. Enjoy!

This table runner is one of Angie's Bits and Pieces design. You've seen many of Angie's creations here. I love her designs.  This table runner is a 16" by 49", so it's perfect for a big table.

       And, these faces are sure to bring a smile to any one's holiday table!

So check out Angies Bits at Pieces... I think you will be delighted with the wonderful patterns she has to offer, for a very small yearly cost.

Ho Ho Ho Blog Hop Day 2

Well, day one sure did not disappoint us now did it? All the fabulous ideas... I have to admit, I was "toad-aly" in love with one of those projects!  Bet you can't guess which one!   LOL!  We have the best bloggers in the world. I am so excited about holiday sewing...

Today is one for that person that is just impossible to shop for. Now admit it, we all have one of them on our list.

                                                  Wanna take a guess?

                              Yep, it's likely not something that they already have!
                              And it's useful, now much better can that get?  LOL!!

                            I like to think if it as the gift that keeps on giving!

This is an Anita Goodesign Project pattern for embroidery machines.  While I have to say, I think it's just pretty darn funny, that design itself was pretty darn frustrating. The directions are not great and sizes were incorrect for what needed to be cut. But once you make the first one, it's easy enough to fix the problems.

So what do ya say... wanna torment your hard to buy for people this year?
                            :-)

Here is the line up for todays bloggers... see you there!

Birthday Surprise

My evil quiltin sista has been at it again...
She decided to take yet another opportunity to torment me.

This time for my birthday.  Yes it was a big one for me...but really now the crappy comment about my needing to wear housecoats with really big buttons on it and SAS shoes, at our local quilt shop,  was uncalled for today!    LOL!

No one really knows what she puts me thru, so I thought I would share...

Here's my card this year!

To be topped of with these fabrics

                                         Are these a riot or what?
              Only Ruth could come  up with this little birthday surprise!  
                 Looks like "get even" time is coming around the corner!
                       I need your help, with ideas to do just that!
       I'm counting on you to come up with something really outrageous!
        Her birthday is Dec 24th, so we have time to make it really good!

                                                        :-)
