So, are you ready for Christmas projects? Some years the answer for me is "not yet" other years it's "wait, it's December?" This year, for some reason, I'm raring to go! After a full day of prep, eating, family-hosting and clean-up on Thanksgiving, I should have gone right to my bed. Instead, I suddenly had a quilt in mind that I was dying to pull together so I stayed up and cut the whole thing. I can't wait to see it come together. (I paid the next day - I was pooped! But my project is patiently waiting for me to return. Maybe tonight?)
I think that one of the reasons I am so excited about Christmas projects is thanks to Stitch Craft Create. At the Sewing Summit, Vanessa handed out copies of this magazine as part of her photography class.
It's such a beautiful magazine and it is FULL of ideas for Christmas projects - decor, gifts, and all around cuteness. My girls love pouring over it as well. Our copy is dog-eared all over the place.
This velvet ribbon rose is another project from the magazine. I plan to finish it and make it into a Chrismas broach. Did I mention how many projects there are that I want to make?
Fabric Worm: 10% off orders of $50 or more with code 10off50 - cyber Monday only.
Canton Village Quilt Works: Whole shop 25% off with code CyberMonday25 at checkout - Monday only.
SewObessed: Free shipping on everything through Monday.
Congrats WINNERS! I will contact you by email. (Looks like Becky was the lucky name this time.)

Thank you for this lovely giveaway offer. I have bee trying to cut back on my spending, but have browsed a number of magazines while in line at Joann's. This one looks great. I really like your bunting, and the rose broach and felt roses look nice. I avoided the whole Black Friday mess and stayed home and sewed/quilted. I did order one item I've been looking for on sale at Burgundy
Jessica
It looks like a cool magazine! I finish my classes soon, and as soon as I do i'm in full on crafting gear!
Mary on Lake Pulaski
No going out shopping on Thanksgiving weekend for me! I was blessed with Audrey overnight, so I spent quality time playing and reading to her! <br />The magazine looks like it has some great ideas.

Love your little bunting. <br />The magazine looks great. Thanks for the chance to win it.<br />Oh, and thanks for the links to some of the sales going on this weekend. The only store I went to on Black Friday was a little local yarn shop - supporting a small business a day early, I guess.

I love the ideas that come out of magazines. I recently went through some old sewing and quiltings magazines that belonged to a great aunt. I found so many must-do projects!
Kristie
Hmmmm, I am feeling a bit shafted as I was at said photography course with Vanessa and did not get a magazine! It looks wonderful. Maybe I will get lucky here. If not, I probably don't need more on my insurmountable to-do list anyhow 😉

Katie
That wreath is gorgeous
Becky
I'm not sure I really need more projects to work on. Just kidding! I could always squeeze in a few more 🙂 I almost never shop on Black Friday. One year I did, lived to survive, but have no desire to do that again. I do admire those that brave the crowds and come away from the experience with great bargains.
Krista Hansen
That looks like a really fun magazine! I avoid all stores on Black Friday weekend. I also avoid getting out of my jammies too! We had fun putting up the Christmas tree and decorations.

I am not at all prepared for Christmas this year. But I've still got lots of projects I'd like to finish! Gorgeous magazines help. 🙂
RaeLyn
That magazine looks so fun! I too,am trying to avoid shopping this weekend. I've been tempted several times with the fabric deals, but my goal for the rest of this year (and beyond?) is to use the fabric I have. Maybe I'm the only one with this problem, but "Why is it so much easier to buy?"
Elle
I've been busy reorganizing my sewing room and found some Christmas fabric, but I'm not in the mood yet, so I hope I win your giveaway...I need some inspiration! Glad you had a nice end to your Thanksgiving...I had a little sewing time too and gave thanks for a patient fiancée!

Michele
I already see some projects that I'd love to make from that magazine. And yes I avoid the shopping over this weekend if I can help it. Too many years of working retail soured me to the craziness that happens.

I love having a sit down with a new magazine, it's almost like a obsessions I think. I've had to stop going to Barnes and Nobles so often because it does get too costly. Some mags. now cost the same as a book! Love the op to win, thanks and have a lovely Sunday!

notes of sincerity
Hi Amy.<br />I too received that magazine (so don't put me in the give a way). Oh goodness, it is just packed with pretty ideas. <br />I am the same way. No thanks on the black Friday shopping craze. Would rather be home decorating our tree with my family. Plus I am just not a real big shopper to begin with. Love online deals! Especially when they come to your door. :o)<br />Have a

Julie in WA
I usually don't catch the Christmas spirit until December hits, but this year my daughter has been listening to Michael Buble's new Christmas cd since early November. I guess it drove me to an early holiday mood. I put away the Autumn quilt (...I was hoping to finish it before Thanksgiving!...) and pulled the Christmas stash and WIPS out of the closet. I'd love a copy of the magazine
