CHRISTMAS CREAMS BUNDLE

Christmas creams bundle
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

Green scissors

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.

GIFT OF THE DAY #2

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


Screen Shot 2017-11-30 at 7.44.15 PM

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!

12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS SALE: DAY #6

Well... today & tomorrow the elves are taking the day off... kind of but not really!!

Actually they will be working even harder the next two days... because they will be packing all day and all night to get all the goodies out to you from the first 5 days!

Don't worry... we feed them and let them have all the nog they want :-)!

Day6

After our shipping break of two days, we will be back with a whole new round of amazing kits, notions and gifts for you starting early on Friday morning. So if you enjoyed playing this first round, we invite you to come and play again. We don't think you will be sorry!

A few details about shipping & shopping, etc.:

• Like we mentioned in the original descriptions, this year the sale is a bit different so please read HERE if you still have any questions about how it is all working this year.

• Any box that is "mostly" full from the first 5 days is going to get shipped out! If you overflowed from a medium to a large box, the upgrade is on us as always!

• If your goodies from the first 5 days overflowed even a large box, we will start another medium box for you, add it to your card and then the overflow is once again on us if you go up to a large box again. And over and over... until all of your goodies are sent to you! If you had an unusual amount of fun during the sale and it is more economical to ship to you UPS, we will make that determination during the packing and shipping process.

• If you just ordered a few notions and are nowhere close to filing a box, we will wait until the second half of the sale is over to fill and send your box.

• IF YOU PURCHASED ANYTHING LARGER LIKE A KIT OR A LARGE GIFT ITEM LIKE THE SUITCASE TRIO YOUR BOX WILL BE SHIPPING AND YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE A NEW BOX WHEN YOU START THE SALE AGAIN ON FRIDAY. PLEASE DO NOT START THE SALE AGAIN ON FRIDAY WITHOUT A NEW BOX UNLESS YOU ONLY PURCHASED LITTLE ITEMS [ IN WHICH CASE YOUR FIRST BOX IS STILL BEING HELD FOR YOU].

• If you did not choose the "I BOUGHT A BOX" shipping method and chose standard shipping for any of your orders, those orders will ship separately as we process them.

SEE YOU AGAIN IN TWO DAYS... WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SHARE THE REST OF THE GOODIES WITH YOU... THEY MIGHT EVEN BE BETTER THAN THE ONES WE HAVE ALREADY SHOWN YOU!!

HAPPY WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY!

RETRO CHRISTMAS PATCHWORK QUILT KIT 

Retro Patchwork main

Retro Patchwork

Retro patchwork 2

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.

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

Fig Flatter Handmaid

...Flatter and Handmaid in Fig scent

Pineapple Flatter Handmaid

... 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."

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

Rosannes 2

Roxannes

1986.00046

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:

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 

Tea towel

Towel closeup

Towel 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.

As I'm sure many of you know already, I think this is my favorite new pattern and I am more than just a little obsessed with how they wonderful blocks look like wreaths.

Sixteen perfect red block wreaths and green churn dash posts. Kit includes all of the reds and greens you see here along with the cream solid and the pattern. It also includes solid red binding. Quilt Size: app. 74" x 74"

DESCRIPTION:

Possibly my favorite notion of all time... the Japanese Little House Pins- the best pins I've ever tried and the first notion we ever carried in our shop!
These little handmade pins glide through fabric like butter, the tips are perfectly sharp and they are strong! To top it off they come in the cutest little metal tin. I’m not usually such a stickler about sewing notions, but honesty, these are the only pins I ever use! They are the perfect little luxury. Each metal tin comes with 100 pins; heads come in a variety of glass colors. I couldn't resist starting off this year's sale with these as I have heard rumors that they might soon be discontinued!
