Christmas in July Blog Hop AND a Giveaway!!
Welcome to Day 10 of the 12 Days of Christmas in July Blog Hop, hosted by Sarah of Confessions of a Fabric Addict. Thank you, Sarah! I have really enjoyed seeing what all the bloggers have created. Our summer has been so hot and humid (highs in the 90’s with feels like temps well over 100!) that thinking of Christmas and cooler weather has been a welcome change. Hopefully all the ideas will get us started on our Christmas projects. I NEVER seem to get mine started early, so this was my incentive!
I have created a pieced and appliqued table runner for you! This runner includes two pieced blocks that look like peppermint candies and three appliqued blocks consisting of a stocking, a Christmas tree, and Rudolph! So without further adieu, here is the picture.
And some alternative colorways here:
Unfortunately, I do not have it quilted yet, as I have a customer’s large quilt on Ms. Mattie, and she is not playing nicely at the moment. However, here is a photo of my flimsy!
It’s hard to see in this picture, but I love shiny, so I used Michael Miller’s Fairy Frost for the red and green pinwheel peppermint candy blocks, and a metallic white snowflake fabric for the background. I forgot to add the corner holly and leaves before I took this picture, so those will be added before the quilting takes place. The border fabric is actually crimson with gold metallic flecks. I apologize for the picture. I will take a better pic with the good camera when I get it quilted. In the meantime, I have completed (I think!) the pattern write up, and you can receive it free of charge until the end of the month. Just subscribe to my blog through the Rafflecopter form (if you are entering the give away) and leave a comment below. If you are already a subscriber, leave me a comment and I will email you the pattern. For those who are no-reply, please leave your email address along with your comment.
I promised a giveaway and here it is — a cute bundle of eight Christmas fat quarters!!

I love White Christmas. I often watch it on the summer-when it’s really hot, here in Southern California, to cool off!
I love the animated movie Nestor. It is about a long-eared donkey whom no one loves. In other words, he is an outcast. Of course, he becomes the hero of the story as he is the donkey that takes Mary to Bethlehem so she can have baby Jesus there. It is a tear jerker.
Hands down its Hallmark the movie is called Fallen Angel next in line is the letter which I believe is Hallmark 2…. happyness04431@yahoo.co

your table runner is wonderful. i love the sparkles that are in it. makes it cheery and bright. thank you for sharing your pattern. I think my favorite christmas movie is Miracle on 34th Street.
This movie is usually shown at Thanksgiving, but since it’s about Santa Claus I think it qualifies: Miracle on 34th Street. I love it. Your runner is very sweet and well done. thanks.
We always enjoy watching Home Alone
I guess I would have to say my favorite Christmas movie would be Miracle on 34th Street. I watch it each year.
Super cute table runner! I like shiny fabrics, too, especially for the holidays 🙂 My favorite Christmas movie is the Charlie Brown Christmas. The music by the Vince Garaldi (sp?) trio has always been my holiday soundtrack!
What a fun table topper. I need to add this to my list of things to do.
Great runner. Llike the color options
It’s A Wonderful Life!
Very cute tablerunner. I love all of the older versions of a Christmas Carol – and own three of them that I’ll watch any time of the year. Thanks for the giveaway.
Christmas Vacation! I have to watch it every year! so it must be my favorite Christmas themed movie. And that fabric up for give-away…It is so Lush, soft and the person that wins is going to adore it! I purchased the big Santa from that line and he is the cutest! Thanks for sharing your pattern as well. Have a blessed Day!
Thanks for the quilty Christmas inspiration!

I love the movie White Christmas – thanks for the giveaway.
I love all the classic Christmas movies like Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, and then the newer classics like Home Alone, A Charlie Brown Christmas, The Polar Bear Express…. I watch them all over the holidays!!
