Blog Contributors 2015

Hi there! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas!  It all went so fast.  We spent all week with family and had a great time.  It's good to be back home and I am more than ready to spend some time sewing again! But first, I need to clean the tornado that I call my sewing room!  I sewed some last minute gifts up last week and haven't had time to clean anything up.  So as soon as I do that, I will be back to sewing! :)


I wanted to announce to everyone our Blog Contributors for 2015!  I am excited about the upcoming year and all the great projects we will share with you all! We have an excellent and diverse group of ladies that will be helping me out on the blog.  I can't wait for you all to meet them! Here is a little snippet about each new contributor!


Hello from Deana Jennings!  I am a wife, mother of three, teacher, blogger, and quilt designer.  I have a passion for all things beautiful and simple: quilts, sunsets, clear blue skies, smiles, small towns, and my desert home in Utah.

You can find Deana at her blog: Dreamworthy Quilts


I am a former Army helicopter pilot turned stay at home mom and quilter.  Quilting began as another in a long line of hobbies.  Most have ended up in the closet of good intentions, but quilting stuck and became a creative outlet and stress reliever while in the Army and out.  Currently, I am a longarm quilter in North Carolina and I am expanding into 3D sewing as I learn about garment sewing for myself and my 2 year old daughter.  

You can find Heather at her blog: Quilts Actually



My name is Jamie Cooley.  I learned how to thread a sewing machine nearly eight years ago and have been sewing ever since.  My obsession is every kind of fabric and my favorite way to express myself is through quilting.  

You can find Jamie over at her blog: Busy Bee Quilts


Trina Gallop Blank is a shoe-lover, cake baker, sewing enthusiast, knowledgable knitter, basset wrangler, and just recently became a half-marathon runner (looming milestone birthdays will do that to a girl!)  She shares all of this and more over at her lifestyle blog - Will Cook for Shoes.  Ever since she can remember, Trina has been one of those people who sees something and goes " I can make that!"  - and then usually does!  When she's not sewing, knitting, or baking for other people, you will find Trina hanging out with her two sweet basset hound boys (Buster and Baxter) and her husband Matt in there home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

You can find Trina at her blog: Will Cook for Shoes

These ladies are all so talented and I can't to see what they have in store for us in the New Year!

Talk to you soon!

PS: So, my tree has no decorations left on it! My two year old would not leave the ornaments alone and the bottom half the tree was completely bare after about a week.  So we left the tree up but took off all the ornaments.  I am hoping next year will be the year that the kids will leave the ornaments alone! :) 

Oh, and I don't have a theme--it's just a hodge-podge of different ornaments that I have bought or were given to me.  I want to have a theme Christmas tree--I just need to figure out what and start collecting ornaments! :)

PS: I would love to have a real Christmas tree, and I was this close to buying one this year.  However, with a two year old in the house who can't leave the tree alone, I didn't want to vacuum up pine needles the rest of my life. :)  So we bought a new "fake" tree this year, that is pre-lit! Can I just tell you that a pre-lit tree is the way to go if you are going fake?  It was so convenient!  :)

Cross Weave Garland Tutorial


Hi everyone! This tutorial is coming to you from Holly, and I work at Fort Worth Fabric Studio, here in the home office. You can read more about me here. I get a chance to spend a lot of time around all the beautiful fabrics we have come into the warehouse.

As soon as I saw these Moda Cross Weave Woven fabrics, I was in love.

The two color blends create such an amazing look and I was excited to use them for this project. These fabrics are great for raw edge projects, because it exposes both colors of thread. The linen fabric is not a cross weave, but is a great neutral and is the same texture as the cross weave fabrics.


For a 6 ft strand of garland you will need:
Cut from each 1/2 yard:
3 - 5"xWOF strips

Cut from each 5" strip"
28 - 1.5" strips

Tie strips around twine in a overhand knot using an A,B,C pattern, or other desired pattern. As you tie each piece, rub your fingers together over the edges and tug. This will help loosen the threads and give a more scrappy look, exposing the different colors of threads. Hang up and enjoy!



-Holly

12 Days of Giveaways {Day 7}

Welcome back! It's day 7 of our 12 Days of Giveaways!



Today we are giving away this amazing book by Sheri McConnell called:


We are also offering this book 40% off right now!  This is a good time to snatch it up at this great price!  Click HERE to purchase!

To enter to win the book answer the following question:

Do you enjoy wrapping presents?

Answer the question in the comment section below! Please include email address, if you are a no-reply blogger or an anonymous commenter! 

Giveaway ends December 14th @ midnight!

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

Good Luck!

PS: I hate wrapping.  There is no sugar-coating this! I really don't enjoy it at all.  I make my husband wrap most the presents.  I can't watch when he wraps presents because he is a perfectionist and it takes him about 20 minutes per present! (I think it's the engineer in him) I prefer, to just use gift bags.  SO much easier!
