December 06, 2011
Welcome to Day #9 of the 12 Days of Christmas: Fig Tree Style! Each day we will have a different kit, a different sale and even a few giveaways along the way. Join us each day so that you don't miss out on a single thing. We are so excited to share all of our goodies with you!
Day #9
Today is CHALK FULL of good things so read carefully so you don't miss out on any of them.
Not only is today Day #9 of our fabulous 12 Days of Christmas Sale [click here, or here for some of the other days to see the festivities if you have not been following along], today is also our day on the
*** MODA Designer Holiday Blog Hop ***
Each day you can visit a few of the MODA designers to see what block and recipe goodies they have to share. Each designer you visit will have a new sampler block card and a recipe card for you. Print them out on cream colored cardstock [or any other color really, but you know we do everything in cream around here], package them up with some lovely twine or ribbon and you have a fabulous little memento for yourself or for a stocking stuffer for a friend. You will find a PDF link for both cards here below.
Click here for the actual pdf of the below block and recipe card.
You’ll need just (3) 9″ x 22″ pieces of fabric to make this block- one dark, one medium and one light!
Make up a quilt using 12 of these blocks and put sashing in-between each block. You’ll have a quilt that looks great in any fabric combination or use just a few of your favorite blocks and repeat them several times. Collect all the blocks and use them however they suit your fancy!

Jingle Bells is my favorite right now, because it is the main carol that my 3 and 5 year old are singing in the car on the ride to school. They love the "HEY!" part :). Thanks for the giveaway!
Posted by: Jennifer Gwyn | December 06, 2011 at 04:07 AM
Love these blog hops! Your 12 days of Christmas specials are awesome too :)
Thanks for the yummy recipe and cute block.
My favorite Christmas song is Silent night. I tear up every time I hear it. MErry Christmas!
Posted by: Dorian | December 06, 2011 at 04:09 AM
I have always loved Silent Night
Posted by: Quiltjane | December 06, 2011 at 04:13 AM
My favorite Christmas song is "Mary, Did You Know" The words are so humbling.
Posted by: Judy Sullivan | December 06, 2011 at 04:13 AM
Thank you Joanna for the great recipe and quilt block. I hope you have a very magical holiday season and find time to spend relaxing with your family.
My favorite Christmas song has always been 'Oh Holy Night' since the first time I heard that song years ago. I love almost all the Christmas songs with those playing all day long most of the time during December in my home but that one song is the one that I will actually 'hear' more than the others as it plays. I can be busy doing something else and just listen to the others as background noise but that one just make me hear it more than others if that makes any sense.
Thank you for the awesome giveaway.
Posted by: VickiT | December 06, 2011 at 04:22 AM
Thank you for this beautiful giveaway. My favourite song is from John Lennon - Merry Christmas.
Posted by: Yvonne | December 06, 2011 at 04:25 AM
My favorite is Nat King Cole's "A Cradle in Bethlehem". It really captures the reason for the season.
Posted by: Nancy | December 06, 2011 at 04:25 AM
"Oh Holy Night" or "Green Sleeves" or "Mary Did you Know"..... Oh shoot now I have to go break out my Christmas music! Thanks!
Posted by: Kristy | December 06, 2011 at 04:26 AM
Your recipe is so interesting! I've always added lemon zest to zucchini bread, but I am eager to try adding all the different citrus elements. Thank you for the recipe and the lovely block pattern.
Favorite Christmas song is Angels We Have Heard On High. Love Christmas music!
Thank you!

My favorite Christmas song as always been "What Child Is This". Then I heard "Mary, Did You Know" and had to add it to the list. Now I have a third one - "Not Far Apart" by Ryan Kelly. It's a beautiful song.
Posted by: Carla | December 06, 2011 at 04:30 AM

My favorite Christmas song is rather a new one, "Mary, Did You Know?" When reading stories to school kids, I love "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer." The kids get into that one:) Merry Christmas!
Posted by: Becky in Georgia | December 06, 2011 at 04:42 AM
My favorite Christmas song is Mary Did You Know sung by Kenny Rogers. I know he is not very popular but I still love to listen to him. He does it as a duet with Trisha Yearwood and I really enjoy it. What a great giveaway. Thanks so much.
Posted by: Rhonda aka Quilter in The Gap | December 06, 2011 at 04:42 AM
OOOHH! I'd love to win some patterns and scraps! I can do great things with scraps!
My favorite Christmas carol is O Holy Night.
Thanks for the block pattern, recipe and chance to win!
Posted by: Susan | December 06, 2011 at 04:42 AM
Oh, this is a tough question!!! It really does depend on who is singing the carol . . . I guess as long as it isn't me singing, it's a good thing! Silent Night is simple and if done right absolutely moving.
Thanks for the recipe and block pattern . . . I'm lovin' your specials. - M.
Posted by: Marlene | December 06, 2011 at 04:42 AM
Its hard to narrow down the favorite Christmas songs. I really love "Welcome to our World."

"Do You Hear What I Hear" is probably one of my most favorite.
Posted by: Amanda Dickson | December 06, 2011 at 04:51 AM
Ever since I was little, I always liked "Silver Bells." It's not too over the top, but a really beautiful song.
Posted by: Molly | December 06, 2011 at 04:54 AM
I love "I heard the Bells on Christmas Day"
Posted by: Robyn Brown | December 06, 2011 at 04:55 AM
My favorite is "Christmas Christmas Time is Here". But not the one sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Posted by: Carol | December 06, 2011 at 04:56 AM
I love the Little Drummer boy - the original version not the Bing Crosby/David bowie one. Just so beautiful just like your fabric
Posted by: Nancy Davis | December 06, 2011 at 04:58 AM
My favorite Christmas song is What Child is This. Beautiful fabric. I have a pattern I don't have time to make or buy fabric for that this would work beautifully in for next Christmas!
Posted by: Pam C | December 06, 2011 at 04:58 AM
Thank you for the chance to win. Feliz Navidad is my favorite carol.
Posted by: betsy | December 06, 2011 at 05:00 AM
First, thank you for sharing with us through this Hop. My favorite Christmas carol is "Silent Night" - all the verses. It takes me back to wonderful Christmas Eve candlelight services, with lights lowered and the flame being passed throughout the congregation as we sing. I get goose bumps just thinking about it.
Posted by: Linda W | December 06, 2011 at 05:01 AM
My favorite Christmas song is Away in a Manger. So precious when Kindergartners sing it:)! Thank you for the pattern and bread recipe. Merry Christmas!
Posted by: Marcyne | December 06, 2011 at 05:03 AM
