Christmas in July- the last post.

Hi friends!

Christmas in July

Hasn’t this been a fun month? To celebrate the idea of Christmas in July, I have had 3 different fabric giveaways and all your comments have been so sweet!

And the Just Dandy strip pack was the favorite! 

Note- the winner has been notified.

I was debating on how to wrap this month up and since we have this last Wednesday, I thought I would do one final, small giveaway.

But first, did you know I am now also designing cross stitch patterns?

Cross Stitch

I have been a long fan of cross stitch and I used to love to create samplers when friends had babies. And every year I display one I did that has a Christmas theme!

I recently got back into it and have been turning some of my quilt patterns into cross stitch!

Log Roll, the quilt, became Log Roll the cross stitch!

And so did Cassie the quilt- meet Cassie the cross stitch!

But this next one makes me laugh!

Cut, Sew, Rip is often my mantra when sewing. I need to rip often as I get things turned around and sometimes… well, if I am in a hurry, they might stay that way because I didn’t notice, at least not until the quilt was quilted, bound and on display!

oops!

And yes, this did happen to me recently!

Butterflies

In 2024 I created a calendar using butterflies as my theme. Each month featured a different butterfly.

I loved that calendar. I hated not using the butterflies again so I created stickers using some of them. And now I am turning all 12 into cross stitch!

The series is called Fluttering through the Year and I have 2 done and up on the website and I am releasing 2 more next month!

This is Avril; she is my April butterfly.

And this is Maeve, the butterfly for May.

Leona (August) and Aster (September) will come out next month and then I am trying to decide if I move onto October or jump  around some more?

The Giveaway

Now that you know about my butterflies, some of my cross stitch and stickers, my giveaway makes more sense!

For the last Christmas In July post, I am giving away a gift bag with a butterfly notepad, stickers and quilt stickers.

I love these!

Recently I was asked at a guild what someone would use the stickers for. Well, stickers are NOT just for kids!  The butterfly stickers are on my sewing machine to dress it up and the quilt stickers are on my water bottle. Well, one water bottle has butterflies, one had quilts!!

You can keep these or give them away.  Something fun and different! And did I mention the little gift bag is in some of my Just Dandy fabrics?

Note: my website and I are on vacation starting tomorrow.

Which means you can place an order but if the item needs to be shipped, it has to wait until we are no longer on vacation! We will be back up and running Monday August 10th! Of course, PDFs are always available for immediate download. I just can’t help with trouble shooting until vacation is over!
