Good morning and happy Friday everyone!
It's Friday, it's friday… usually right about now the elves start to get cranky, fall down and generally cease to be happy with the sale. Although this year we have a new shelving and shipping system so the elves are just a bit happier than they would normally be at about this time… so…. so far so good!
Thanks for shopping with us!
Welcome to DAY #7!!

ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF CHRISTMAS, MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME, SEVEN SWANS A SWIMMING….
Our kit for the day: TWO DIFFERENT CHRISTMAS BUNDLES
Making Christmas Bundles is one of our favorite things around here… especially around Christmas time.
MIX IT UP CHRISTMAS BUNDLE II
Searching and finding good reds, greens and creams is one of my favorite pastimes… really. Its what I do to relax…. LOL! This bundle contains a great mix of MODA designers and collections including our Aloha Girl and Mirabelle as well as fabrics from Gina Martin, Pat Sloan, Bunny Hill, Kate & Birdie and others. Bundle contains (9) 1/2 yds cuts as shown.
FARMHOUSE CHRISTMAS BUNDLE
We are in love with how versatile FARMHOUSE is…. in October it was our favorite Halloween collection and now it is our favorite Christmas collection! We have pulled out all those scrumptious tomato reds, grass greens and creams to create a Christmas bundle good enough to eat! Contains all FARMHOUSE fabric, (12) 1/2 yds cuts in each exactly as shown.
Our Notion of the day: AQUA ROTARY CUTTER
Let's just say it how it is…. I love this because it is aqua! Enough said? Well, its a great tool, from a great company and its my favorite size…. Oh wait, did I mention if was aqua?
This rotary cutter is perfect for both right and left-handers, and features a soft grip handle with integrated grooves for your fingers. The quick blade change feature allows you to simply slide the blade-lock down to release the old blade, load a new blade, and re-secure it to begin cutting again.
Our Gifty Item of the day: VINTAGE SAN FRANCISCO NOTEBOOK
We just can't get enough of all these Cavallini goodies… can you tell that we are just a little bit addicted? Seriously!
This is the perfect size notebook for so many different things… quilt notes, ideas, shopping items, journal… or anything you can think of. Graphics are all of vintage San Francisco- a perfect place to dream of coming here, or as a memento, gift or just because its beautiful!
Notebook size: 5" x 7" w/ elastic closure around notebook
DAILY SPECIAL: Today's special is A FREE "KISS ME" pattern… we think this pattern would look especially wonderful in Christmas colors!
*** Saturday and Sunday the elves will nap… and maybe have some nog. They will be back on Monday with a 12:30 am PST post [that means late Sunday night] ***
Hope you have fun shopping today. Click HERE for more info on each product.
Just like in past years of the 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS we offer you the choice to hold all of your daily goodies to be shipped together at the end of the sale so you can save money on the shipping costs and keep adding goodies throughout the 12 days! Its an awesome option and a lot of fun! This year we are continuing our special shipping system, called "BUY-A-BOX" and have added the "BUY-A-ENVELOPE" option.
This is how it will now work:
Given the crazy, popularity of this sale for us, each year we have to make some adjustments based on the past year's sale. This year, just as last year, in order to "play along" with the 12 days of the sale, you need to first BUY-A-BOX or BUY-AN-ENVELOPE.
If you think that you will mostly buy small items and are primarily interested in the daily deals and the stocking stuffers, then you should BUY-AN-ENVELOPE. If your goodies eventually "spill" out of the envelope, we will upgrade you to a medium box… AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. Once your medium box fills, we will send it to you along with an email that your box has shipped. Depending on what day of the sale it is and if you plan on continuing for the remaining days, you will then be able to decide if you wish to buy another envelope or box in order to continue with the sale or not.
If you think that you will be trying to get kits, fabrics and some of the "bigger ticket" items and you are a die hard 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS fan, then you should BUY-A-BOX. If your goodies "spill" out of the medium box, we will upgrade you to a large box… AT NO EXTRA CHARGE. Once your large box fills, we will send it to you along with an email that your box has shipped. Depending on what day of the sale it is and if you plan on continuing for the remaining days, you will then be able to decide if you wish to buy another box in order to continue with the sale or not.
If your envelope or box does not fill throughout the sale, it will remain until the last day and it will ship on that day.
The biggest change from last year – for those of you who have participated before- is that once your allotted box has filled, we will need to ship it and you can decide if you wish to purchase another box. This is still a fabulous shipping deal! Not only because we will be upgrading you one shipping category at our cost, but because you can keep shopping knowing that we will continue to put items in your box until we absolutely cannot add anything else! The reason we are changing the shipping from the past is because of the sheer volume of customers that outgrew their box multiple times. The result was a bit more chaos than the elves knew what to do with around her toward the end of the sale!
Another fun 12 DAYS SALE offering was our PRESENTS UNDER THE TREE/HOLIDAY GIFTS quilt…

These bundles would have been perfect for a tree skirt I want to make, but I was too slow. 🙁 C’est la vie!

Are you aware that you sent Day 7 again on the blog? Does that mean you’re taking the weekend off?
Connie | 5th Dec 15
Good morning Joanna! Will you please share the name of the western fabric you had in the horse bundle? Thanks!
Joanna | 5th Dec 15
We haven’t sent anything new. Anything that is up now is up from yesterday. Please read the blog for info.
Thanks so much
Joanna | 6th Dec 15
All of those fabrics [other than the orange daisy from my Farmhouse collection], are from the Purebred collection by Erin Michael for MODA fabrics.
Thanks so much,
Joanna

This 12 Days of Christmas has been an incredibly difficult sale to follow. I watched the clock many days and the time would pass and no email would come. I’d check Facebook, the blog, repeatedly. No luck. Wasted my money on an envelope. Will not try next year. Did think everything was cute though. Hope some of those mini quilt kits become available at another time. Happy Holidays.

We are sorry to hear it did not work out for you. We understand that can be frustrating and like we said at the beginning of the sale, this is an incredibly popular sale that is now in its 5th year. And while it is wildly fun and exciting for some, it is not, however, for everyone.
Just for your info…. We do not post to Facebook as a rule of thumb and this is not something we advertised or said we were going to advertise on Facebook. The blog was always up the minute it was scheduled to go up.
Thanks for trying. If you are not purchasing any patterns or anything in your envelope, that envelope purchase will remain with us as a credit. Please let us know if you decide to order in the future and we will credit you the amount. Thanks so much.
