KIT FOR THE DAY:

CHRISTMAS CREAMS BUNDLE

 

KIT DESCRIPTION:

As I have been working on our Cream Sparkle BOM all year long, I have fallen more and more in love with the idea of all low volume, cream quilts with very little contrast. So when it came time to make 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS bundles, it made me so happy to put together a bundle of stronger creams, with more print in them, to create a Christmas Creams bundle and quilt. The sparkle that comes from mixing a bunch of vibrant cream prints such as these is wonderful! The bundle also comes with a simple pattern sheet as a suggestion for something that you could do with your bundle. All you would need to add is some cream solid background and a bit of red for binding. Hope you have a wonderful time making something cream, holiday feeling and sparkly! Bundle includes (8) ½ yds. of cream prints and a pattern sheet for the Christmas Creams quilt.

KAREN BUCKLEY PERFECT SCISSORS: SMALL

NOTION DESCRIPTION: The smaller cousin to the 6" scissors, these 4" scissors are just as much to TO DIE FOR. Things to know: Micro-serrated blade, comfortable soft lime green handles, protective plastic cover, cuts through several layers at a time with no problem, super sharp... and well, just awesome! These will seriously become your new most favorite scissors in both sizes. Note: absolutely perfect with wool because of the extra grip the serrated blade gives you!

Official Information: Designed by Karen Kay Buckley. I have been using nothing but serrarted edge scissors to cut my fabric for the past 25 years. I love the way the serrated blade cuts into my fabric. This special blade pulls the fabric into the scissors rather than pushing it alway like traditional scissors. Things you will like about these scissors...cushioned handle, easy for right or left hander to use, blades sharp to the very tip, serrated blade keeps fabric from fraying, light weight and comfortable. The 4" size are great for detail cutting on curves and points.

 

KAREN BUCKLEY PERFECT SCISSORS: LARGE

 

NOTION DESCRIPTION: 

These 6" scissors are TO DIE FOR. My new favorite. Things to know: Micro-serrated blade, comfortable soft aqua handles, protective plastic cover, cuts through several layers at a time with no problem, super sharp... and well, just awesome! These will seriously become your new most favorite scissors in both sizes. Note: absolutely perfect with wool because of the extra grip the serrated blade gives you!

Official Information: Designed by Karen Kay Buckley. The handles are larger, cushioned for comfort and can be used right or left handed. Micro-serrated blades for better cutting in tight spots and with slippery fabrics. 6" the perfect mid-size scissor.

 

GIFT FOR THE DAY:

LARGE CARRY-ALL TIN: 1 CANOE 2 DESIGN

Lovely design Midnight Garden by MODA designer Beth Snyder from 1 Canoe 2.

 

GIFT OF THE DAY #2

HARMONY FARMS CANDLES: APPLE CIDER, ORANGE STICKY BUNS & PUMPKIN SPICE

DESCRIPTION:

Oh my gosh... this smells like Christmas. A little bit orange, a little bit sweet, a little bit cinnamon. You can't go wrong for the holidays with this one my friends! We first introduced these wonderful soy candles from Harmony Farm Candles last year and we were all amazed by the scents, the cuteness of the jelly jar and the smokeless burn of the soy. We couldn't resist doing a Christmas sale without these.

Remember waking up to the delicious fragrance of baked goods warm from the oven? Our Orange Sticky Buns candle captures the tasty smell of gooey pastry, brushed delicately with cinnamon and topped with zesty, orange cream frosting. Mmm, so scrumptious!

Harmony Farm Candles are wicked, scented and poured by hand in small batches in a North Carolina farmhouse kitchen. Made from 100% natural soy wax—from U.S.-grown soy beans—they’re long-burning (an average of 35 hours for one 8 oz. jar!) and environmentally friendly. With no added dyes and lead-free, cotton wicks, Harmony Farm Candles emit little-to-no soot as compared to their petroleum-based paraffin wax counterparts.

To optimize the life and scent of your candle, the recommended burn time is 3-4 hours at a time. Trim the wick to ¼” before lighting. Allow the melted wax to reach the edges of the jar to prevent the wax from building up and "tunneling". Never leave a candle burning unattended or within reach of a draft, pets, or small children.

Soy wax is also biodegradable and easy to clean up! After your candle has burned to ¼”, pour off the remaining liquid wax, then wash the jar with soap and water and reuse or recycle it.
Jar measures 4" tall by 2-3/4" across.

DESCRIPTION:

The approach of autumn means apple season in North Carolina, and apple season means fresh cider. The Mulled Cider candle evokes a blend of spicy cinnamon and cloves with a dash of nutmeg and dried orange peel swirled into a steamy cup of hot apple cider. Let this inviting smell from Harmony Farm Candles warm your home as the weather gets colder and the nights get longer.

GIFT DESCRIPTION:

The classic holiday aroma of pumpkin pie is deliciously manifested in the Pumpkin Spice scent from Harmony Farm, making it an instant favorite. Burn this candle in your home for the comforting smell of creamy vanilla with cinnamon, honey and a dash of ginger. Rich and warming, this candle will envelop you in the delight of the season!

OUR KIT FOR THE DAY:

RETRO CHRISTMAS PATCHWORK QUILT KIT 

KIT DESCRIPTION:

We originally created this quilt as a last minute gift for my first child out of the nest when he went off to college. He loved the quilt so much that he let us photo him with it literally on his way out the door to leave for school. Since we had bolts and bolts of fabric left, we decided to offer the same project to you as a kit. It has been so popular with so many of you that we decided to offer it once again in this wonderful "Retro Christmas" collection of fabrics. This group of fabrics has been curated over the whole year from so many different MODA designers that we couldn't name them all but include Minick & Simpson, Sweetwater, Sandy Gervais, Essentially Yours by MODA, Bonnie & Camille and others!
These are fun, simple patchwork quilts with a super simple patch block that you make once and then just turn around as you work on the placement of the quilt. Each kit contains (12) 1/2 yd. cuts as shown and a printed pattern. One of the cuts will act as your binding.
You can of course make any other kind of Christmas quilt with this bundle as well. I can't wait to see what you all make! Mock up of what the quilt might look like shown here below.

GIFT ITEM OF THE DAY:

FLATTER & HANDMAID CREAM IN FIG SCENT and FLATTER & HANDMAID CREAM IN PINEAPPLE GROVE SCENT

...Flatter and Handmaid in Fig scent

... Flatter and Handmaid in Pineapple Grove Scent

 

GIFT DESCRIPTION:

FLATTER PRESSING SPRAY

My studio always has one of these next to the pressing board and this smaller size is perfect to take with you when you travel or to try several different scents! This is a 3 oz. bottle with lid.

From the folks at SOAK, these FLATTER sprays are wonderful to give your sewing a light dusting of scent while pressing. Great to use as is or slightly diluted with water for a lighter hint of a scent, this spray is perfect for pressing while quilting and sewing as well as all standard laundry work. We keep one in the sewing room and one in the laundry room. In fact my favorite use for it is actually as a linen spray... our beds and sheets have never smelled fresher!
Here is the official SOAK description:
• This starch-free smoothing spray relaxes wrinkles and freshens fabrics.
• This smooth operator leaves fabric sleek, soft and static-free. Made with Plant Derived and Renewable Ingredients, it has no sulfates, no silicones, no SLS or SLES – and definitely no wrinkles. Plus, the mild formulation is easy on sensitive skin, and won’t harm the environment.
• Makes ironing easier
• Soft mist sprayer for an even distribution
• No flaking, clogging or residue
• Protects fabric to reduce and resist wrinkles
• Fresh, clean fragrances for enjoyable ironing

FLATTER SPRAY comes in either the FIG scent or the PINEAPPLE GROVE scent. See below for scent descriptions.

"HANDMAID" CREAM 

The scent drew me in and the cream itself hooked me. It is the perfect feel and I keep one next to the sewing machine and next to the computer. Now to decide which scent??

Official SOAK description below.
What is it: Handmaid luxury hand cream is modern care for the hands you love. Handmaid is enriched with shea butter, olive oil and vitamins A & E. It’s great for travel, gifting or guests.How it works: Handmaid rejuvenates skin and protects overworked hands.

• Apply sparingly. Rub thoroughly. Get back to it.
• non-greasy formula absorbs quickly
• flight friendly

FIG: I know we are just a bit partial to the Fig scent since I designed the bottle and approved the scent but it is the perfect blend of fruit and sweet. A slight scent that will just make you smile!   From the SOAK website: "Fresh-picked clean. Fig is ripened with sweet fig and lychee and crowned by dandelions."

PINEAPPLE GROVE: The Pineapple Grove scent is just summer incarnate in my opinion. The scent takes just takes me away with citrus and fruit and sweetness!  From the SOAK website... "Be a pineapple. Stand Tall, wearing a lily filled crown, and always be sweet on the inside."

TWO WINTER GLOVES 

AND A CHICKEN IN A FIG TREE.

 

OUR KIT FOR THE DAY:

CHRISTMAS GIFT QUILT KIT 

 

KIT DESCRIPTION:

Every year this time of year rolls around and I get the urge to add something fun but simple to my Christmas quilt decorating. Now don't get me wrong, I am completely in love with my stack of red and green quilts that make their debut every year right around this time and I will not stop adding to that stack any time soon. But I also want to add in something simple and functional that everyone can use as a throw that I can whip up in time for this year. Well, this is your throw my friends! Barely 50" square, this simple throw is fun and can literally be made in an afternoon. I kid you not! Each quadrant is a different cream print, a large pieced gingham bow in the center, finished off with a wide green binding. The wool holly in the middle can be added as an extra fun little embellishment or left off if you prefer. I machine appliquéd mine on with matching thread after the quilt throw was quilted and it took me about ½ hr! Kit includes (4) cream prints for backgrounds, wonderfully festive red gingham, solid green binding and wool pieces for the holly as well as the pattern sheet and instructions. Happy Holidays from our home to yours!

 

OUR NOTION FOR THE DAY:

ROXANNE'S WIDE TIP GLUE BASTE IT

NOTION DESCRIPTION:

I have used and loved Roxanne's Glue Baste It for years. So when this new applicator was released, I knew I had to share it with you guys! The dots of glue are bigger and come out much easier. The top never clogs because it has an internal plug that keeps it open and free of dried glue. Its wonderful especially for larger pieces and wool [when you want larger glue dots] or any other projects when you want a bit more glue. Just a little bit addicted to mine my friends!
Here below is the official description...

Glue Baste It 2 Way Applicator. Same great temporary basting glue now with 2 way applicator. Small tip excellent for positioning appliques with small dots of glue. Wide tip ideal for applying sashings for quilt as you go projects or binding. Turn wide tip sideways for a narrower line of glue. Water soluble, pH neutral and dries clear.

 

OUR GIFT ITEM FOR THE DAY:

RETRO CHRISTMAS NAPKINS

DESCRIPTION:

These were so popular last year and sold out so fast that we managed to got more again this year...
Speaking of Retro, these vintage feeling napkins and/or decorative towels are just the perfect accompaniment to any holiday decor. Can be used as a napkin, table topper, dish towel or as a decoration inside a basket or over a plate for a lovely cookie display. 100% cotton, 20" x 20" oversized capacity.

So please feel free to add some of the notion items from yesterday if you didn't get a chance as we still have some of each of those available.

If you are interested in yesterday's kit, we are seeing if we can add a few more in later this week.

 

Welcome to DAY #2

If this is your first time with us, thanks so much for joining us. There is a lot of "fine print" info at the bottom of this post that you might want to read to understand how this all works...but beware that your item might sell out while you are reading LOL!!

Over the last couple of years, what we have learned is that during this sale no one... and I mean no one... is interested in anything I have to say here that is cute or whimsical! In the past I have written poems and shared funny stories… but let's be honest, you are here for the goodies!!  So let's bring on the goodies!

But  just like last year I have changed the song to reflect my favorite things! I have to have a little bit of fun, right?

ON THE SECOND DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME...

TWO WINTER GLOVES [last year I went with purple gloves, but I am just really not a purple gal so this year I thought I would go with winter... which I actually do need this year... so maybe Santa will bring me a pair]

AND A CHICKEN IN A FIG TREE.

OUR KIT FOR THE DAY:

COUNTRY CHRISTMAS TRUCK FLOUR SACK KIT 

KIT DESCRIPTION:

Each and every year we create a fun kitchen towel kit with something simple and Christmas feeling... something that can be easily added to a towel for some "instant Christmas". Of course we don't actually USE these embellished towels once we make them... they are too cute... which is why we give you all a second towel and extra fabric so you can a simple band of fabric to the second towel and actually use that one while the first one is purely decorative! That is kind of what we do around here. The towels [which are my absolute favorite flour sack cloths, crazy, crazy absorbent] with a simple fabric band are the ones that I use every day until they are ragged... and then just make new ones. While the embellished ones come out every year to decorate the kitchen and if anyone in my family touches them... well, let's just say there are words! Kit includes two flour sack towels, red gingham fabric for two towels, wool and black floss for embellishing one towel, pattern and directions.

GETTING READY FOR THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SALE!!

 

 

WE HAVE CHANGED THE WAY WE ARE GOING TO DO THE SALE THIS YEAR JUST A BIT,

SO PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE DIFFERENCES!

 

 

 

BASIC NEW RULES TO PLAY:

1. BUY A BOX. You can do this ahead of the sale to be prepared or along with your first order. See below for more details on how that works.

2. Shop for goodies that you are interested in each day. We will keep adding your goodies to your box for 5 days. Then the elves will stop for 2 days to ship. If you are nowhere close to filling your box, we will hold it over to the next 5 days. If you are near full, we will ship. We will make the call here. We will email you and let you know that you need to purchase another box if you want to keep playing the following week!

3. If you want to keep shopping and playing, you can do the whole thing again and keep shopping during the second set of 5 days. If you have already filled your box, overflowed into a bigger one [that one is on us, again see below for more details] and you need another box, you will need to purchase another box and we will start the whole game again!

4. Have fun. Enjoy the sale. If you don't enjoy this kind of pressure... please don't play because it will be frustrating for you. For the rest of you, let the games begin!!!

IN PAST YEARS, MANY OF YOU HAVE ASKED WHAT IS THE BEST/MOST ACCURATE WAY TO KNOW WHEN WE HAVE POSTED THAT DAY'S SALE.

 

SINCE WE WILL CHANGE THE TIMES THAT WE POST THE PRODUCTS TO BE FAIR TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE, YOU HAVE TO "FOLLOW" US IN SOME WAY.

EACH DAY WE WILL SEND OUT OUR NEWSLETTER, WRITE A BLOG POST AND TRY TO LET YOU KNOW VIA INSTAGRAM. 

THE MOST RELIABLE WAYS ARE THE NEWSLETTER AND INSTAGRAM. IF YOU SUBSCRIBE TO THE BLOG, THE SUBSCRIPTION ITSELF OFTEN COMES LATE OR THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE DESCRIPTION OF THAT DAY'S PRODUCTS WILL BE ON THE BLOG EACH DAY BUT YOU MIGHT WANT ANOTHER FORM OF FINDING OUT THAT WE HAVE "GONE LIVE" FOR THAT DAY.

 

Generally the blog subscription is a wonderful way to know what is going on around here and to see updates and will often give you info that won't be in our newsletter. But for information that is as timely as updates about the 12 DAYS sale, the newsletter or IG are the ways to go because they are immediate and you can see/notice them right away.

IF YOU HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO CREATE SOME KIND OF AN ALERT, YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO THAT. THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE THAT IN PAST YEARS, HAVE BEEN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE GOODIES THAT THEY WANTED!

 

THE WAY IT WORKS THE BEST IS: SET UP AN ALERT, SEE THE NOTICE COME IN THAT WE HAVE GONE LIVE, GO STRAIGHT TO THE SHOP OR QUICKLY TO THE BLOG TO SEE WHAT THE GOODIES ARE, PUT THEM IN YOUR CART AND CHECK OUT. DON'T TRY TO HOLD THEM IN YOUR CART. IF SOMEONE ELSE CHECKS OUT BEFORE YOU AND THERE WAS ONLY 1 ITEM LEFT, THEY WILL GET IT AND YOU WILL NOT :-(. TAKE A DEEP BREATHE & ENJOY THE RIDE!

 

GENERAL 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS INFO:

PLEASE READ AS SOME INFO HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED

* The Fig Tree 12 Days of Christmas sale will start on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and will last for 10 days this year [the elves are getting too old for a full 12 days]. It will go for 5 consecutive days. Then the elves will take 2 days off to pack boxes and ship out goodies. Then it will go for another 5 days.

* Each day a different kit, stocking stuffer and/or home dec goodie will be advertised- on some days several of each! I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE WITH YOU WHAT WE HAVE COLLECTED FOR YOU THIS YEAR!

 

* Each special offer will only become available on that one day. Each goodie will only be available while stock lasts. Most of the items offered will sell out on that day, a few will last a few days. Please believe us that some items will sell out crazy fast [some of them in minutes] and some will last all day based on popularity and stock. Although we would love to be able to carry an unlimited amount of goodies, we are limited by how much stock we can carry of any given item and how much space we have!

EACH DAY IS BASICALLY A LIMITED QUANTITY FLASH SALE.

 

* We never know which ones will sell out the fastest! If we are able to get more in stock of any popular product, we will try but we can't guarantee that anything that sells out will come back in stock. If they can, it will probably not be a part of the sale but something that we offer after Christmas for a separate January delivery. Most of the kits will not be available again due to fabric no longer being available.

 

* For those of you who want to continue to purchase items throughout the 12 days of the sale but want us to hold your purchases for one shipment, YOU NEED TO BUY-A-BOX. SEE MORE INFO BELOW [ I know that some of you want to receive your presents as you buy them each day, in which case you don't need to buy a box and just choose regular shipping]. The box is an actual product available on our homepage.  You only need to purchase it once for each set of 5 days- either before the sale starts or on the first day that you purchase a 12DAYS item- but you need to purchase it as an actual product. Then for all the remaining purchases you make, you will simply choose the "I BOUGHT A BOX" option in the shipping directions during the checkout process. If you select that option without buying a box, we will not be able to ship anything to you because you will not have a box for us to put your goodies into!

 

 

 

 

BUY-A-BOX INFORMATION:

Just like in past years of the 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS we offer you the choice to hold all of your daily goodies to be shipped together at the end of the first set of 5 days and then again at the end of the second set of 5 days so you can save money on the shipping costs and keep adding goodies to your box! Its an awesome option and a lot of fun!

 

This is how it will work:

 

Given how popular this sale is, and how crazy it is for us, we have had to simplify some of our processes! Regardless of whether you think you will get the smaller stocking stuffer kinds of items or the "bigger ticket" items and you are a die hard 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS fan, you will BUY-A-BOX as your shipping option. If your goodies "spill" out of the medium box you have purchased, we will upgrade you to a large box... AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. Once your large box fills at the end of the first 5 days, we will send it to you. If you spill out of that, you will need to purchase another medium box and go from there with a free upgrade again, etc.

 

If your box does not come close to filling throughout the sale and all we need to send your goodies is an envelope, WE WILL DONATE THE SHIPPING DIFFERENCE TO OUR LOCAL FOOD BANK. We will downgrade those orders into envelopes, calculate the difference and once we have everyone's "donations", we will let everyone know via our newsletter what that amount is and donate it to the Alameda County Food Bank. IN FACT WE WILL MATCH ANY AMOUNT THAT GETS ACCUMULATED FROM UNUSED SHIPPING CHARGES AND ADD THAT TO THE CHECK. So please don't worry about whether or not you are going to fill up your box. The extra $7 or so that you might not end up needing will go to a very worthy cause during this holiday time. Thank you in advance!!

 

So ONCE AGAIN here are your steps:

1. So that you are ready for the sale on Friday, BUY-A BOX now so that you can focus on purchasing your items once they start going up on Day #1. Given how quickly the items go, etc, buying your box ahead of time is your best bet!

 

2. When you are buying your goodies, select the "I BOUGHT A BOX" choice in the shipping drop down menu so that you are not charged for shipping each time you place a new item in your box. This is basically your free shipping option for the rest of the items for the first set of 5 days [until you fill your box].

3. If you do not select "I BOUGHT A BOX" as your shipping option when you purchase items, we will assume that you wish to receive the product right away and you want it shipped right away and you do not wish to accumulate items. Believe it or not, there are some customers for whom this is their own personal Christmas and they look forward to receiving the packages each and every day. Enjoy! 

4.Please know that if you forget to select the "I BOUGHT A BOX" option for shipping during checkout, we will not be able to change it. Due to the sheer volume of 12 DAYS customers, we really only have the opportunity to see what is chosen and ship or not ship based on the info you have provided during checkout. Thank you so much for understanding!

Remember you will BUY-A-BOX only once before the sale begins or at the time of your first purchase. This will make all of us- you and us- ready for the sale before it even begins!! You can of course still BUY-A-BOX on the first day of the sale or on any other day that you begin shopping the sale. Basically if you want to accumulate your goodies, you must BUY-A-BOX first. If you fill up your box, we will ship it to you and email you right away to let you know that you will need to purchase a new box if you want to keep shopping for the next 5 days. If you purchase more than the LARGE UPGRADE that we provide at no additional cost, we will start a new box for you and charge the box to the card that you are using. We will basically start the whole process over again for you!

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT DUE TO THE VOLUME & CRAZINESS OF THIS SALE, WE CANNOT MAKE ANY CHANGES, ADDITIONS OR SUBTRACTIONS TO ANYTHING THAT YOU PURCHASE.

 

International orders will be assessed actual shipping charges at the time of shipping. International orders cannot use PAYPAL since we need to be able to access the payment info during shipping.
