Tryin to get in the spirit of Christmas and what better way to start than joining up with Sarah at
http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/2016/07/twelve-days-of-christmas-in-july-and.html
I want to take a moment to thank Sarah for all her time and effort for making this a fun and smooth working hop.
Plus every day of the hop she will also have steps to a Christmas Quilt along.
On to my Christmas projects. My head wasn't into Christmas at first, but I'm if full swing now. I have already picked out my gifts to make
for my kids and grands. I stop there, with the great grands and more coming it getting to be too many to sew for. But Santa does leave something in all stockings.
This year I'm making reusable fabric gift tags to go with packaging.
Since I have no packages yet they look a little lonely, Hoping the evergreen helps.
You can find the tutorial at
https://www.shabbyfabrics.com/Free-Downloads.aspx
They even give you the printout for the cards.
I went ahead and gave the link for all their free downloads. There are some really cute projects
you might like to gift as well.
They are really easy and fast.
I found this sweet ornament at
https://carlahoag.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/nativity-quilt-ornament/
I like yard sales and consignment shops to find vintage wool. All of this ornaments pieces of wool are from
ladies and mens vintage coats and jackets.
My final Christmas project for this hop is a mug rug.
I like these when eating treats in the evening while watching TV.
Or leaving Santa's cookies and milk. You want to stay on his good side.
I hoping you found at least one idea for a gift. Don't forget to visit http://selinaquilts.blogspot.com/ today, for another idea or two.
Here is all of the participants for this hop in case you have missed some.

You have some lovely things to share, Tonia! I especially like the mug rug. Great idea to use it for Santa's cookies. Julie@TheCraftyQuilter.com
ReplyDeleteGreat Christmas ideas! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA Santa mug rug for those cookies and milk - love it. The little wool piece is so charming and love that you repurpose.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your Christmas ideas. The repurposed wool worked into a lovely ornament. Santa will love the warm reception when he finds his milk and cookies on that sweet mug rug. And thanks for the link for the tags.
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the great project ideas! I especially love the ornament. I hope I can find time to make some as Christmas gifts!
ReplyDeleteI love the gift tags and maybe I'll find the time this year to make a few myself.
ReplyDeleteLoved all your projects too! The Ornament would sure be a special Keepsake gift! & the Tags are Awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Your mug rug for Santa's milk and cookies is really special.

ReplyDeleteGreat to see some Christmas in July ideas to get me in the mood for getting busy on Christmas things here. Better get started or I'll never be done in time!
ReplyDeleteI love that mug rug! Thanks for all the tunes too.

Re-usable tags are a great idea - I may have to employ that this year! Thanks for all the wonderful eye candy and ideas and for all the time and effort you put into making the hop so much fun! I really appreciate you!!
ReplyDeleteHi Tonia! Great ideas, my favorite is the wool ornament!! Thanks for sharing and being in the hop with us!
ReplyDeleteTonia, It's wonderful to meet you via Blog. Your gift tags are unique and quite crafty. Thanks for all the ideas. Soon we'll be wrapping gifts and hanging those tags on.

What a pretty nativity ornament Tonia! It's wonderful that you made it with upcycled wool. I love your idea for reusable gift tags with the little slip in pocket for the tag - so pretty! You made me chuckle when you said we have to stay on Santa's good side, which you certainly will with a wonderful mug rug like that! Thank you for sharing these great projects!
ReplyDeleteI love the ornament made from vintage coats. The older I get the more I want to repurpose instead of buying new. We tend to too easily throw away these days!
ReplyDeleteI also love the idea of the reusable gift tags!! Thank you!!
I LIKE it! I'm thinking Christmas, too, but haven't started anything yet. I don't think I have any Christmassy fabric at all.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week,
Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage
What great gift tags! The ornament is fabulous. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThese are great ideas! I'm feeling so Christmasy!
ReplyDeleteI love your reusable gift tags! Your wool ornament is beautiful too :)
ReplyDeleteI love, love that mug rug.
ReplyDeleteI really like those reusable name tags. That is one thing we all seem to forget buying and then try to make a sad looking tag out of leftover wrapping paper.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to get started with Christmas gifts.
ReplyDeleteI love your tags, beautiful!
