I love sewing Christmas gifts for all the females in our family.jillfroelich@yahoo.com
I'm just learning how to quilt, so small patchwork projects are becoming my favorite holiday project. If we are looking outside of sewing, though, I love to glitter everything!
Every year I make an ornament for each of my kids and close friends. This year I am also working on a hexagon star christmas tree skirt that probably won't get finished in time.
My favorite Christmas project is making a gift for someone else. We have 8 - going on 9 - grands and I love doing projects that I can use for them.
My favorite project is the placements I make every year for Christmas dinner.
I love to make christmas stockings for everyone at Christmas. I can make each one different and they are a quick finish.
I really had fun sewing stockings last year! This year, I think I'll be making a Christmas treat skirt for my mom.
My favorite holiday sewing project is a runner for my kitchen island--I love the way they sew together so quickly and give the room a punchy flair!
What a great give away. I followed the block-a-thon as each new block was revealed. My favorite Christmas sewing project i making a lap quilt for someone in my family.
Oh what a wonderful reveal! The quilt is awesome. I don't have any one favorite holiday project. I love working on any Christmas themed project & using Christmas themed fabrics. Thanks for hosting this, it's been fun to follow along!
I LOVE it! I'm so excited how it turned out and it's so cool to see my block up there! I have fifteen blocks done on mine right now and I'm working through the rest as fast as I can. I have a really cool idea in my head for the sashing so we'll see how it turns out! What fun!
What great giveaway! I guess my favorite holiday project was a wreath I made, and some cross stitch ornaments. I would love to make a tree skirt, though!
I am excited to put this one all together today. Thank you for hosting such a fun block along. I would pick my favorite gift made - my first quilt for my daughter's first Christmas - she still has it (I won't give her age) It wasn't perfect, but it was (and still is) well loved.
I love to sew for Halloween. Witches especially! But this Christmas quilt is beautiful and I would love to with the kit. Thanks so much for the chance!

My favorite holiday is Halloween. I love to make costumes. I've made quite a few through the years. I love the creativity I see on some of the children who show up at my door. It's too bad so many costumes are store bought. Home made ones are so much better.
I just finished a Christmas quilt using differnt Christmas fabric left overs in a Dasiy Chain quilt.

I enjoy making many types of holiday sewing projects. My all time favorite is probably the felt ornaments that I made back when I was a newlywed.
I love the Christmas in July quilt. I will finish it in time!
Mostly I like to make things to give away such as ornaments, presents, etc. I love to give something hand made!
Hmmm...favorite holiday sewing project...
I would have to say stockings for the holidays! They're relatively quick to whip up, but can be personalized so easily! Love it! :)
Anything from tree decorations to quilts as presents. Have loved the reveal of the blocks every couple of days. Lots of great ideas and the final quilt looks wonderful!
I like to make Christmas placemats to donate to Meals on Wheels. Wonderful quilt and wonderful giveaway. Thanks.
Thanks for putting this quilt together and posting the journey. My favorite holiday quilting project is redwork, it ties in so well with Xmas red. Thanks also for the contest.
I just love XMAS redwork!!Thanks for the contest.
My favorite holiday sewing project are wall hangings that can hold Christmas cards.
My favorite holiday project was the Little Trees wall hanging I made last year. I liked it so much I made two more for my daughters.
That's a great layout for a really fun Christmas quilt. I've made all the blocks, and I'm looking forward to putting this together.
Ooo first comment - hope it is lucky!! My favourite holiday project would be making things for the kitchen as gifts. I've made hanging tea towels and hot pads, placemats and I've made a few for myself too!! FAB giveaway!!
I make table runners for gifts - need to start making a list of who's already gotten one...
I like to make reusable gift bags and pouches to put all my Christmas presents in. And I like to make sets of potholders, embellished dish towels, apron and sometimes placemats and napkins for the families on my gift list.
I do enjoy making Christmas themed decorations and quilts, but my very favorite holiday sewing is the Halloween costumes I used to make for my son when he was younger. He always wanted something unique -- one year he was a hammer and his best buddy was a nail (I also made that costume). One year when he was in high school he was a giant Swedish Fish (like the candy). Such fun!
Beautiful quilt! Of all of the quilts I've made, I haven't done a Christmas quilt for myself. That is a MUST on my to do list. Thanks for your wonderful giveaway!
Of course, my favorite Christmas project has been the Christmas In July quilt by Free Spirit.
This Christmas is my 4th year of belonging to the most wonderful club called GRANDMA HOOD! In the 4 years, grandchildren count has grown to 3. (and theynare all girls) HOW BLLESSED AM I? ?????? There is nothing more wonderful than having grandchildren and the gifts I make for them are my most important projects for the year. and I'm sure I don't have to even say this but...."the gifts are made with love." lol sometimes I get a little tearie while I'm working on the gifts. They all live so far away.
I would love to,win your giveaway to make my grand daughters there beautiful Christmas quilts.
I'm working on a QAL quilt for my husband as a Christmas present this year :)
I like to make Christmas Quilts to decorate with and the one I especially like is Scenic View by Lisa Moore of Quilts with a Twist from 2008.It is gorgeous and my 4 daughters would all love to get their hands on it.
Love to give wallhangings for the holidays. This year will make some bags and pincushion sachets too.
I have enjoyed making the blocks for this quilt and i love the look of it all together. So this year my favourite christmas project would have to this quilt. Can't wait to get started sewing it together. Thanks.
I like to make a Christmas quilt each year but my favourite project was the stockings I made for each of my children a few years ago - I've made several for friends children since and I never tire of them!
I havent made anything for Christmas gift, but I would probably try making shorts for my father this year:)

I like making table runners in lovely Christmas fabrics and knowing they are going to be on my family and friends tables on Christmas Day. Thanks for the giveaway. Linda
My favorite Christmas project was the flannel button down shirt I mad my sister last year. I have no idea what I am making this year. Oh! I saw this cool idea on Etsy where a hand towel is sewn in half and used as a toiltetries carrier. Looks fun!
Love to make fluffy warm quilts for my family... bifsim@libero.it
I love Christmas projects! There are soooo many to do!

This has been such a fun series to follow! Love the finished quilt.
Hi!!! I like to make stockings for everyone!!!! Thanks
Every year that my children were growing up my Christmas gifts were centered around a theme each year was different. I remember hand embroidering quilts for each of my kids as infants and then again I did it for my 3 kids as they got older. Now I am learning how to quilt and I find it just as interesting that I can create patterns to create pictures as well.
Your Quilt along reminded me that Christmas was coming and I needed to redo my last at home Daughter's quilt as she has out grown her last one.
Thank you.
My favorite holiday project will be my first Christmas throw quilt made using these fabrics if I'm so fortunate as to win a prize. I've enjoyed visiting all of the block-a-thon sites and seeing their great blocks. Thanks!
My favorite holiday project is making making something special
for someone each year, sometimes several 'someones' like this year. (for once I started early and there are going to be several goodies under the tree.)
Your Christmas quilt block-a-thon was a lot of fun!! Great JOB everyone!!!!!
I like making Snowmen at Christmas! Snowmen decorate everything in our house at Christmastime!
I have enjoyed watching this quilt progress and participating with my own fabric choices. I most enjoy making Christmas ornaments each year with the grandkids. We love the Christmas season and start early to make it last as long as possible.
I buy tons of holiday themed fabric and make placemats for gifts, re-useable holiday cocktail napkins (heavy on the machine embroidery!)and cube shaped ornaments stuffed with batting. Each of the six sides of the cube is either a mini-block or a holiday fabric. The placemats are easy to machine quilt and in the gift bag I add paper napkins in a matching color.
Although I am behind on my blocks, I have enjoyed the challenge and plan to finish the project.
I haven't sewn much for Christmas in the past, but this year I want to make lots of small gifts! Key fobs, coaster sets and loyalty card wallets are all on my list! Thanks for this great series!
I am new at sewing, but I have seen some beautiful pillows about on the internet. I think I should be able to manage that. Thanks for all the great tutorials.
I've done many crafts at Christmas: quilts, Christmas stockings, x-stitch items, etc. My favorite was probably the quilt. I'd love to be included!
My favorite holiday thing to sew is patchwork stockings! I just love them!
My favorite Christmas project was a bright yellow Christmas stocking I made for my niece. I used a bright yellow satin fabric that had gold snowflakes embroidered on it. Added a puffy gold crystal organza cuff.
She loved it and still uses it.
I enjoyed making some snowman placemats and a tablerunner last year for a gift!

I am making a Christmas quilt table runner for my big wood table. Hopefully, it will be fabulous. Thank you for the chance to win these gorgeous fabrics!
That is an amazing quilt that shines holiday inspiration.
I am excited to be making toy play mat & totes for my children, nieces and nephews. I saw an online tutorial for sewing giant circles together with draw strings all around the edges, so it is a play mat but when they are done they shove the Lego or whatnot into the center at pull the draw string to make a storage bag for the toys! I love sewing fun and helpful projects.
I love the finished quilt, it's so eclectic. My favorite Christmas project is sewing up some felt stockings and decorating them and personalizing them.
I will be making my first holiday themed quilt soon, so I'd say that's my favorite!
This year it looks like it will be zippered bags for everyone. But, shhh, don't tell! Nyla-Jean, quilt.knightly@yahoo.ca
I enjoy making Christmas gifts for my friends.
Hi! Love making smaller things also, not only quilts, and this year I am planning to make a few boxed pouches, since friends really have loved them. And placemats for christmas also- that would be great! Thanks for a great giveaway!!!
stockings! they are a blast, and so easy!
I decided about 2 1/2 yrs ago that I wanted to learn to quilt so since that's what I've been doing. I think I feel secure enough now to make Quilted Table Runners as gifts. Plus, I love making anything else that I can find which I feel would be perfect for everyone on my gift list.
I really like the quilt created from the Bloc A Long. A number of the blocks I am sure will be used in other ways because I really loved them. Thank you all for doing this.
Wow,see all the blocks together is just fabulous.Great job!!
I like to make wallhanging and runners to decore my home.This year I`m working in a redwork BOM called Reinders Game designed by Barb and Caroll.
Thanks for the giveaway and the chanceto win.
Stockings and table runners are my two favorite holiday projects to sew! I also have made some cute ornaments in the past.
My favorite Christmas project has yet to be made - a tree skirt!
I like to make snowman quilts for wall hangings and table runners. These can stay out long after Christmas, even after all the snow has melted.
My favorite memory is creating a star quilt for my mom, finishing the final stitches on Christmas Eve.
I love making small quilts, tablerunners and stockings for Christmas. I fill the stockings with nuts, hard candy, an apple and an orange. {my childhood stockings from my Italian grandmother. I loved those orange mesh stockings. Wish she was still here to put one on her mantle.)
The quilt turned out fabulous! I have a Christmas advent calendar quilt pattern that I would like to make but I don't have a favorite project.

I make Christmas stockings for all of the members of our family, adding new ones each year as new babies arrive. A really fun project.
Ive made table runners as presents for my girls and last year I made a quilt for my son. This year I hope to make a quilt for my oldest daughter. So I guess my answer would be something quilted. :) I really love the way your quilt turned out.
I made all the girls in the family a homemade gift each year. Don't have a plan for this year yet.jillfroelich@yahoo.com

I'm making reusable grocery bags for a lot of folks on my list. I love making things that I know people will use!
WOW what a generous giveaway! I'm new to sewing so I've never done a Christmas project. Except... now that I think about it, I've sewn felt stockings for my family. You know the beaded, sequined kind they made in the 60's? Like that. They are kitschy but I love them because that's what I had growing up.
I don't have a favourite christmas project - I love everything with some christmas fabric ;-) Especially making gufts for friends and family!
Every year I make an ornament with the kids current photo on it. It is fun to compare through the years! I also love making stockings - but you can only use so many of those!
Such incredibly beautiful fabric! I think I would make some ornaments with felt embellishments to sell in our online store for Havanese Rescue, as well as some holiday-themed crate pads for dog owners who want to add a festive touch to their doggie's abode!
Thanks for the opportunity!
My favorite Christmas project is making stockings for deployed troops. Our guild has adopted a local National Guard unit for this year.

I love the way this quilt turned out! The stack of Christmas fabric is awesome!!!
