ON THE EIGHTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME, EIGHT MAIDS A MILKING…

Now you are speaking my love language, old Christmas song. I very well may have mentioned this in past years as well… but I will take 8 maids ” a doing anything” around here for any amount of time. Juggling everything we juggle around here sometimes takes a serious village and the help of 8 ladies helping out… bring it on any day of the week :-).

If you just want to shop, in that case just  CLICK HERE AND ALSO SCROLL ALL THE WAY TO THE END TO SEE THE SPECIAL OF THE DAY!

KIT OF THE DAY #1: MISTLETOE STEMS TABLE RUNNER

We can’t resist the MODA toweling… in every kind and variety. There is just something so tempting about a beautiful runner of fabric, already turned under for you on the long sides, just waiting for finishing and a little bit of embellishment of your choosing.
This toweling is a soft cream woven background with traditional red ticking stripes on each side in the “Scandinavian style”. As that as the backdrop, we created a classic simple pair of stems of mistletoe leaves in a variety of green prints with a red wool star in the center. A simple afternoon project that can be ready and on the table before company comes over for dinner tonite!

Each kit contains: app. 16″x 53″ of toweling, 3 green print fabrics for the leaves, tan and red wool for the embellishments and of course the pattern sheet.

KIT OF THE DAY #2: VILLAGE RETRO TABLE RUNNER

… village closeup

We can’t resist the MODA toweling… in every kind and variety. There is just something so tempting about a beautiful runner of fabric, already turned under for you on the long sides, just waiting for finishing and a little bit of embellishment of your choosing.
This toweling is candy cane in style, small stripes of a soft faded red and white throughout the length. As that as the backdrop, we created a little village with a few of our favorite retro Christmas prints and a bit of our favorite aqua wool from Weeks Dye Works. The result is a charming, retro holiday on your table!

Each kit contains: app. 16″ X 53″ of toweling, 3 retro Christmas fabrics for the houses, aqua wool for the embellishments and of course the pattern sheet.

KIT SPECIAL FOR TODAY: CHRISTMAS MUGS WITH FAT QUARTERS!

So this might have been the most fun to shop for… on a personal level :-).

This is a perfect gift to yourself or a sewing friend… or one for each. From our house to yours, Merry Christmas!
Mugs are assorted and each one is filled with (7) fat quarters!

    It’s a retro Snowman, not a retro Santa! on the “beautiful set of retro Christmas kitchen towels with images from the wildly popular “Sweet” Christmas collection by Urban Chicks” toweling offer. It’s probably already sold out, but, I just thought you might like to know. The Snowman is just as pudgy as Santa, though!!! Cute!

      Oh ya, you are right! Oh well… too many descriptions to write I guess. Happy Holidays!

    So sorry that Mug and Fat Quarter Kit option was already sold out at 12:08.

    • joanna@figtreequilts.com | 6th Dec 19

      I know that was crazy. If we are able to, we might add some more on Monday… all depends on those mugs :-)!

  3. Jaylene B. | 6th Dec 19

    Oh my goodness!! I can’t believe I won! Thank you so much! I can hardly wait for my box to arrive.

    • joanna@figtreequilts.com | 6th Dec 19

      Congratulations! Which bundle from the choices would you like?

  4. Jaylene B. | 7th Dec 19

    I really like the retro bundle. Thanks again. I’m so excited!

    • joanna@figtreequilts.com | 7th Dec 19

    Just received my farmhouse Christmas bundle in the mail today and I Love it. The picture doesn’t do these cute prints justice. Thanks for having such a good eye Joanna. Love them.

    The instructions for the Mistletoe Stems runner aren’t very clear, you may want to take a second look. It says there are 8 leaves to cut out, but the diagram shows 12? Also, it isn’t clear what is to be cut from the wool vs the cotton, and there isn’t a photo included. Luckily, I can look at the photo above. Glad I didn’t wait until next year to start this kit!

      Not exactly if I understand your questions… there is no wool for the leaves, just the green cottons. The wool provided is tan for the stem and red for the star. There are 3 green prints provided for WAY MORE FABRIC than you need so feel free to make any choices you like! And all you need is the diagram, no picture needed. Feel free to cut less leaves or more as suits you! I think there is probably enough fabric to cut double what is shown if you prefer. You could stop with 8 or do 12 or 16 or more if you like. Enjoy!
