Virtual Christmas in July – giveaway!
For those of you that missed our Christmas in July event, we are bringing it to you! And, 3 lucky winners will get a surprise from Santa just for leaving us a comment and telling us which collection is your favorite. See them all here. We also have Chanukah fabric!
The Wish staff loves to make projects to get your creative juices flowing. Here are some of their efforts…First up is Nancy’s Fruitcake Twister! She used the new Twister tool and a pattern from the Let’s Twist book. She used a couple of the blocks to make a cute matching pillow! 
J
Janice used the X-block to create this fun Lone Pine quilt using 12 days of Christmas. Cute, cute, cute! 
The Lone Pine pattern includes instructions for a companion table runner for a great holiday look!
Cindy decided to design her own pattern “Santa’s All Round” for this fun tree skirt. We do have the patterns available in the store. Great way to use up Christmas scraps! The fabric is Colorful Christmas.
Next up – Kris loves embellishment and used the Nancy Halvorsen Good Tidings panel to create this beautiful advent calendar. Kits including the embellishments are available! 
Wendy was inspired by a pattern in the Layercake, Jellyrolls and Charms book. She used just one 12 days of Christmas Layercake to create a great throw. 
Cathy used the Urban Cabin pattern and Riley Blake’s Colorful Christmas to create a non-traditional quilt. Angela from Thread Waggle Quilting finished it off with a great tree border and snowflakes all around!
Makin Friends by Deb Strain is perfect for all snowman lovers. This wall hanging is on our front cash register…stop in and check out all of these great quilts and get started on your holiday sewing!

Those are some wonderful christmas fabrics. My two favorites are Hoffman Holiday Cheer, because of the poinsettas, and the stripes in Fruitcake by Basic Grey. Thanks for getting us primed for the holidays.

There are bits and pieces I like in all of the collections, but I like Nancy Halvorsen’s Good Tidings best. I think it is the most versatile line. (I love Deb Strain’s snowmen

Nancy’s “Fruitcake Twister” gets my vote. I really like what Basic Grey produces.
July 21st, 2010 at 8:10 am
Fruitcake by Basic Grey is my favorite. Although, many of the others are beautiful.
July 21st, 2010 at 8:17 am
I love Wintergraphix 111 by Jason Yenter. And I love all the Christmas ideas you’ve shown.
July 21st, 2010 at 8:24 am
All the fabrics are wonderful. My favorite is probably Colorful Christmas, but the 12 Days of Christmas is great too. And that tree skirt is just too cute!
July 21st, 2010 at 9:00 am
My favorite is Colorful Christmas. I love that they are using more colors than the tradional red & green.
July 21st, 2010 at 9:03 am
My favorite would be Makin Friends. I love snowmen.
July 21st, 2010 at 9:23 am
Riley Blake is a jump out favorite for me! Amazing quilts by the staff – such inspiration!
July 21st, 2010 at 9:25 am
All are very pretty but I love Nancy Halvorsen, so the winner in my book is Good Tidings.
July 21st, 2010 at 9:32 am
without a doubt (this year at least) i adore kate spain’s 12 days of Christmas!! am in the midst of doing a Christmas quilt and having a super hard time deciding which of the cazillion ideas for using her material will go in it and which will be relegated to another project.
also…just have to comment on your staff’s creativity–obviously a bunch of talented people!! really love the twister quilt, the santa tree skirt and the urban cabin one. all of the quilts are great and very nice ideas. too bad i can’t have 10 trees since i keep finding wonderful tree skirts i’d like to try. it would also be a darling table cloth, but i thought it would be easily adapted to a santa advent calendar–looks just perfect for adding some pockets in rose along the front.
July 21st, 2010 at 9:32 am
I love the Fruitcake line! Even the name makes you happy!! Great giveaway!!
July 21st, 2010 at 9:45 am
I love the idea of Christmas in July! Please consider me for this contest. Any prize would be wonderful – I do love patterns and tools!!
July 21st, 2010 at 9:50 am
I have always LOVED the Riley Blake Christmas collection. It’s like they are calling my name!
July 21st, 2010 at 10:01 am
Since baby girl is getting older, I am loving the Riley Blake fabrics.
Thanks for the chance to win!
July 21st, 2010 at 10:48 am
It’s really hard to choose. I love the Nancy Halvorsen ‘Good Tidings’, but I also especially like the Wintergraphix.
July 21st, 2010 at 11:00 am
Boy, it’s not easy picking a favorite. Each line has some pattern that really intrigues me. If I have to pick only one, it would have to be Twelve Days of Christmas. Thanks!
July 21st, 2010 at 11:21 am
I love the 12 days of christmas. It’s so cherry and fun!!
July 21st, 2010 at 11:22 am
Hmm, all the collectiosn are beautiful, but ultimately it is Colorful Christmas for me. The tiny characters are just too cute! Thank you for the giveaway!
July 21st, 2010 at 11:25 am
I believe I have a panel in my stash on the order of the Good Tidings throw. I think I will see what else is in there and turn my panel into a throw, too. Thanks for the good ideas.
July 21st, 2010 at 11:57 am
I adore the Hallmark collection and the Sparkle Christmas (do you see a pattern here?) Wonderful stuff, hard to choose. Colorful Christmas is wonderful, too, and so is ……………..
Thanks for a great giveaway!
July 21st, 2010 at 12:25 pm
I just can’t choose one. I love Fruitcake and 12 days of Christmas the best. Also enjoyed seeing all of your samples. Many thanks for the give-away.
July 21st, 2010 at 12:47 pm
I love the colorful Makin’ New Friends collection. I can just see a cute Christmas quilt forming in my mind!
July 21st, 2010 at 1:28 pm

I like Good Tidings the bedst, and 12 Days of Christmas is a very close second.
July 21st, 2010 at 2:31 pm
I think that Sparkle all the Way is my favorite but I also liked the Hallmark too. I have used the Twister tool for about a year now and think it is GREAT! Works with everything Charming!
July 21st, 2010 at 2:36 pm
You know, I find the Fruitcake to be beautiful…especially those grays!!! Aren’t they just lovely. I didn’t care for the Twister pattern with it…but as I looked at the line itself–I saw such lovely things! Perhaps that is why I have such a huge stash…I love the whole piece of fabric…not little bits and pieces!!! I have a stash, and could always use more.
July 21st, 2010 at 4:27 pm
My favorite is Holiday Cheer. Very Christmasy. I kinda like the Wintergraphix. Very modern. Love it.
July 21st, 2010 at 5:11 pm
