My Mom's Christmas Quilt

I have been working on this baby for 2 months!

 And she is finally finished!

I made this quilt for my mother and gave it to her as an early Christmas gift, so she could display it throughout the month.

My favorite part is most definitely the Candy Cane Stripe edge!

And the Polka Dot backing!

Okay, who am I kidding, I love the WHOLE DANG THING!

 I love that it is a modge podge of various Christmas collections and prints, and that it looks like Christmas exploded onto this quilt!

In fact, I had a really hard time saying goodbye to this one, I totally wanted to keep it for myself. 

I am actually thinking about making the exact same quilt for myself....is that so weird?   Making two of the same quilt?  Let me know if you think I am off my rocker!

Would you like to make one too?

Because all the Christmas Prints in our shop are on sale RIGHT NOW!

Some as low as $5.50/ yard.  Find them HERE!

You will only need 1/4 yard of each print. 

For this quilt I cut a bunch of 9" squares from my 1/4 yards, and then cut them up using THIS technique from Allison over at Cluck Cluck Sew....she is awesome-ness. 

I sewed them together, and it turned out so cute! I can't wait to get started on my next one.

Sweater Christmas Trees Tutorial

Okay, so I realize that this tutorial has nothing to do with cute, cotton fabric from the shop, but these turned out so cute I just HAD to share!

I saw THESE trees at Target and wanted them sooooo badly.  But thought that I could probably make them for a bit cheaper.

I was right!

I found a red and cream sweater at my local thrift shop for $3 each. The cream sweater had little balls on it.....PERFECT! Maybe you already have some old sweaters in your closet....Sa-weet!

(You could make about 5 trees from each sweater, depending on the sizes)

I also found these cute little Paper Mache cones that you can find at any craft store for around $1. 

I laid the cone on top of the sweater and cut a triangle shape about twice as big as my cone.  You don't have to be exact, your sweater will stretch around the tree. Or, you could just use part of the sleeve, whatever will fit around your tree.

Then I folded the sweater around the tree, wrong side out, and pulled it tight around the tree and pinned  it down the seam, connecting the sides.

Then I pulled it off the tree and sewed where I had pinned. 

I used a zig zag stitch to help the sweater from stretching too much as I sewed. 

Then I turned it right sides out, and placed on the tree.  I folded the bottom up underneath the tree and taped it to hold it in place. I know, super professional. I could have used hot glue....but that seemed like too much work ;)

For the smallest tree I used some Candy Cane Stripe Holiday Twine that I found at my local craft store too.  This time I did pull out the glue gun and simply placed one little dot of glue at the top of the tree, put one end of the string on the glue and started wrapping. It took a whole 60 seconds to wrap and cover the tree.  Then I put another dot of glue along the bottom to hold it in place and viola!

The Christmas Trees are done!!!

I love them.  This is my new favorite corner of my kitchen!

And did you spy a certain someone in the photos?
