ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME, A PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE…

ITEM #1: ‘CHRISTMAS PEPPERMINT STICKS’ QUILT KIT

Quilt Finishes at 50.5″ x 60.5″

I truly believe that sometimes the most simple of quilts is the absolute best choice because it really allows the fabric and design to shine!

In this case, our infamous red candy stripe was just calling to be used in a large, simple, beginner-friendly project and this variation of our JELLY BLOOMS & CANDY STRIPES pattern was the perfect match!

The quilt really features the stripe fabric with a few other prints playing complimentary roles for some fun visual interest. And you have two design options available… Kit will come with cutting directions for both the all red and the red/green versions. Which color combo is your favorite?!

Shown above in a super scrappy red variation from a few years ago. This year’s kit will focus on the red candy stripe and a few coordinating fabrics as shown in the mock ups above and the quilt kit shown but this flimsy shows you how fun the result will be!

ITEM #2: CERAMIC HOUSE ORNAMENT

… it’s the perfect little size for any size tree I think.

​I am totally smitten with the recent trend of decorating with ceramic houses, cottages and villages… isn’t it just beautiful? It is perfect for both winter displays and Christmas ones.
​I have a whole Christmas village of a variety of collected ceramic houses that comes out each and every year to signal that it is time to decorate for winter, Christmas and the holidays.

So when I found these darling little ceramic houses, with gold trim around the roof, I knew immediately they would be a part of our 12 DAYS SALE.
​Can you just picture a few of these sprinkled on the tree -OR- simply just one set down amidst some candles on your coffee table. So lovely and charming. And the little light… its just perfect!

You know I saved a few for myself… I just couldn’t resist!

ITEM #3: ITALIAN LEATHER COIN PURSE & BINDING CLIPS

This year we really focused on finding some beautiful heirloom pieces to share with you all and I don’t think you will be disappointed. We have found gorgeous leather, wood and vintage inspired pieces to add into your notions and everyday life.

This item up today is technically a beautifully crafted coin purse with a round antique bronze zipper along the upper portion of the pouch. But as a quilter… what I saw was a perfect and classy storage container for my binding clips when I am on the go traveling, in the car or at a sewing retreat!

Item includes this genuine Italian leather “coin” purse imported for us from Italy and 20 binding clips in a variety of colors. You all know that the binding clips end up being used for a million things in the studio and we can never have enough of them!

ITEM #4: FRASER FIR CANDLE & BOX OF MATCHES

I wish I could share with you this classic fir scent of our newest candle obsession… just close your eyes and pretend that you in the midst of a fir forest in winter!

If you have followed along with me for a while, you might know that I am an absolute sucker for vintage or retro packaging… especially at Christmastime. So this retro Santa candle was a no brainer for me… isn’t it just so charming?

And the cute Christmas candle comes with cute Christmas matches… because you know… I can’t resist sweet Christmas packaging.

Again… this could be for yourself or as stocking sfuffers for friends and family.

SPECIAL FOR THE DAY:

The first 200 customers will receive a pack of these sweet Christmas tissues with their orders! We love these as stocking stuffers [and will have some more available for purchase later in the sale as well].

Only 1 freebie per customer.

TOMORROW’S SALE TIME HINT (THURSDAY, DAY #2) WILL GO LIVE in the morning after I have had my tea [remember I am Pacific time in California]…
