Christmas in July Blog Hop – Wrap Up!

We have come to the end of the Christmas in July Blog Hop!  I have to thank all of the participating bloggers for sharing their wonderful holiday projects.  It takes a great amount of time and attention to put together a tutorial and for a few of them it was their first one.  Great Job!

And if that wasn’t enough, Sheri @ Sunshine In The Attic has as additional project that she would like you to see; this adorable snowman!  You can find Sheri’s tutorial here.

We would love to see anything that you have made using our tutorials, so I have set up a Flickr group titled Christmas in July Projects.  Let’s see your stuff – even if it’s something you made previously on your own!

Thanks again for joining us and I hope that we’ve inspired you to make your holidays a little more hand made!

  1. Loved this Christmas in July – I make Christmas things throughout the year, so was so pleased to find this blog hop. Thank you very much for the projects, and the chance to win some wonderful things. I am in Australia, so it’s winter and cold here in July! Just right for Christmas sewing.

  2. It was great collaborating and “meeting” new friends in the Quilting/christmas/crafty community. I don’t feel all alone over here anymore. Thanks for all your support and effort on this Julie, you hit is out of the park!!

  3. It was a wonderful Christmas week. It is hot as blazes here in OK and it is nice to see some things to make me think of a cooler time. I know most of the country is under a heat alert, so it has been a great joy to focus on something different. Christmas is in my heart everyday, so this is a real joy for me. I had hope to finish a table runner yesterday and had a migraine for two days. It is a free pattern from connectingthreads.com called Gifts Galore by Mari Martin. I made it for my brother and SIL for Christmas last year. Every two years our quilt guild has a small quilt auction. Next year we are having a meet and greet with our keynote. So we have been asked to make table runners. Some of the table runners will be given as door prizes and some will be used in the small quilt auction. My small stitch group decided to use the Gifts Galore pattern and do only three packages for a table runner. We each took a different event for a table runner. Someone else took Christmas, so I used scraps from twin baby quilts to make a table runner for perhaps a baby shower or a baby birthday. If you would like to see it, I will send a pic when I get the binding on. I do have it quilted. And I am not a good machine quilter, but I stretched and did that. It is actually a fun pattern to do and free is a great price. I made the table runner from my stash – totally. I even pieced some of my pieces and I don’t think you can tell that I did that. It is not a Christmas one, but I’ll share it with you personally if you like. I thought you might like the free pattern link since you are so great at sharing with others. I cannot find a direct link though. Again, thanks for a great week + of Christmas for us. May Christmas be in everyone’s heart everyday.

  4. Thank you and all the others for showing us such great projects with wonderful tutorials to help with our own holiday projects or gifts to make. There were some really great projects.
