Love Kate Spain’s 12 days! And…it would be soooo smart to start working on Christmas projects now. I’ll start looking and see if I can join you! Thanks!
this is a great idea and such a good motivation!! i’m in the midst of figuring out a Christmas quilt with a layer cake of kate spain’s 12 days of Christmas material and some other materials. the problem is way too many ideas for one quilt i think, but i’ll figure that out i’m sure. it’ll be a combination of all kinds of blocks i’ve found or designed–really excited. love this line. thanks for the extra push to work on them. have a great day
Christmas in July! I can’t believe the year is half over.
Welcome to the Christmas in July Blitz Janet and Eileen! I’m soooo excited to be on this adventure with y’all!
Wow! time for Christmas fabric already! I’m in!
I am wanting to make a quilt for my mom and mother in law for christmas we will see.
You can do it. Last Christmas, I made 5 quilts for some women in my life. It was so awesome to see them open them up!
I’m so glad to have you join my Christmas in July Blitz! Sign up with Mr. Linky and grab my button (to spread the love) and that will enter you to win Kate Spain’s 12 Days of Christmas Charm Pack. The drawing will be August 2!
I just started quilting and I really want to make my mom, and my grandparents (both sides) a quilt for Christma. That means I have less than 5 months to get them finished. I think I bit off more than I can chew right now. Oh well, I’m really determined to get them done. I’m sure joining this Christmas in July Blitz is going to help
Whitney, welcome to the Blitz! I’ve only been quilting for a little of 3 years. YOU CAN DO IT! Ask away for any advice. Sew On!
Oh I have a fruitcake jelly roll that I still haven’t decided what to make with it! Maybe a few gorgeous table runners for people on my list!
I make lots of purses and accessories and some always end up as gifts for the daughter and nieces. Not sure just what this year.
What kind of dog is monkey dog? I have a tiny papillon who goes everywhere with me.
Welcome Jorie. Thanks so much for joining us for our Christmas in July Blitz!
i’d loooooove to win this charm pack! i’ve already started on one quilt for a christmas present.

And a Ho Ho Ho in July to you to.. I would love to win the fabric, thanks for a chance.
i’ll begin my xmas projects soon, so this giveaway would come in handy. thank you for the opportunity!!!
Shannon, are we supposed to link up every week or just the one time to show that we’re participating?
I cannot wait to do this! I have been thinking of Christmas quilts ALL months. This will keep me motivated!
I am in love with that Charm pack!
I think that it would be TOTALLY ROCKIN’ if we all could link up once per week to encourage and spur each other on!
Will you be putting a linky on your weekly post for us to use?
Oh, count me in! I need to be held accountable! I want to make tree skirts for myself, my siblings and my mom to give as pre-Christmas gifts.
Oh, GOOD idea. I will. Just copy my Mr. Summer Santa logo onto your blog at the beginning of your Thursday post?
I’m a little late in joining the fun but I am going to start! I have been wanting to do some holiday quilting for some time, and this extra kick in the behind might be just what I need!
I love the 12 days of Christmas!! What a fun giveaway!
I don’t think the last comment actually came across for some reason. I’d love some 12 Days fabric! Thanks
