Christmas in July Tutorial for Benartex & a Giveaway!
Hey everybody! Today I am sharing a project at Sew In Love {with Fabric}, the blog for Benartex Fabrics. They are having a Christmas in July Blog Hop and you can find my tutorial for a Star Bright Wall Hanging there!
I love their entire collection of holiday fabrics, but Home for the Holidays is my favorite! The border fabric I used for my wall hanging (large poinsettias on an aqua background) was my inspiration. From there, I started in the middle (the star applique) and worked my way out to the pieced border. The wall hanging is 42 1/2″ square, so it could be used as a small table quilt as well.
More good news: Benartex is giving away a fat quarter bundle of Home for the Holidays! There are two ways to enter the giveaway (and you can use both):
1. Sign up to follow Benartex’s blog and then leave a comment here, telling us that you have done so. If you’re already signed up, great! Just let us know.
2. Follow my blog and then leave a comment here, telling me that you have done so. If you already have, great! Just let me know.
I’ll pick a winner in one week, August 5th.
One more thing! Benartex is having a cookie recipe exchange on their Facebook page. I’ve added my favorite holiday cookie recipe, Chocolate Caramel Crunch Bars. They will be compiling all of the entries into a pdf recipe book to share!
All of this talk about Christmas and cookies is making me want to do some sewing and baking! I think I’ll take the calorie-free option and head to my sewing room.
Have a great week!
