12 Days of Christmas in July Blog Hop

Welcome to my day on this amazing pre-holiday blog hop.  The 12 Days of Christmas in July hop run by Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict is a fabulous way to get some inspiration for those holiday gifts and crafts. Starting early will ease the stress that comes with that time of year as well.

Confessions Of A Fabric Addict

Make sure to check out the other bloggers for today.  There are some pretty amazing prizes for those that comment on every post for each day.  I will post all of the past day's blogs at the bottom of this post because there were some excellent projects and you should visit all of them.

Monday, July 24

I knew almost right away what I wanted to do for this blog hop once I signed on to participate.  As many of you know, I don't decorate much.  Especially when it comes to holidays.  I just don't have the room to store different themed decorations.  So, that means I prefer simple decorations with an impact that don't take up much room.  I opted for a "wall hanging" in the beginning, but it has evolved a bit into a "door hanging".  It is a piece that is the perfect size to hang on your front door or the outside of your coat closet door in the entry.  It would look great anywhere really.

I stepped a bit outside my comfort zone with the fabric choices on this one and went with gorgeous muted fabrics that I just could not pass up.  I found them at a little shop called Momma Made It in Longview, Washington.  They were so friendly and while the stock was of a certain style (Warm, Homey, Civil War type fabrics), there was a great variety and I will be visiting there again.

Aren't they the prettiest?

I don't know what possessed me to choose a directional, lined print for the background of this, but I learned something new.  Matching up all those prints when there are lots of HST's is a bit of a pain, but the end result is gorgeous. If you didn't have to line up a print, you should be able to finish this project in a day.



I made sure to put hanging corners on the back so I could use a dowel and pretty ribbon for hanging (even though I don't have that yet in the photos).  You could use a sleeve or any preferred hanging method.


If you notice, my quilting on my test "Sweet Gift" is not ideal.  I had wanted to try a poofy  lofty batting and it didn't work out so great.  I would suggest something flatter and more dense unless you happen to like this poofy look.  :)




I have not had time to complete an actual pattern for this "Sweet Gift" yet, but if there is interest then I will try to get it done sooner rather than later.  So, let me know if it is something you would want to make.

Make sure you check out all of the great Holiday ideas from the days that have already passed on this fun-filled blog hop.  Show your love with some comments (there are prizes!!)

Here are the blogs participating in the 12 Days of Christmas in July blog hop!
And don't forget about Confessions of a Fabric Addict!  Sarah has a QAL as well as a roundup of posts and details about the prizes, but hurry because we are almost at the end of 2017's 12 Day of Christmas in July Blog Hop!

    You have a lot of patience to line up that stripe for the background! I usually stay away from stripes for that reason. Very beautiful print though, and you are so lucky to have a shop nearby that sells civil war fabrics. I need to order mine online. Thanks for the tutorial.

    Great project. I have a glass panel on my front door that needs covering, and this would be the best thing. Thanks for sharing. D. Weeks (aka Momma Llama)

    That is an adorable wallhanging Jen! And I for one sure like the muted Civil War look of those fabrics, make me think cocoa, or apple cider, fires, chocolate, holiday music...Tutorials never go unappreciated ;-)

    This is absolutely adorable! I would love a tutorial/pattern, as I think I need to make a few of these for gifts this year! :-) I love your fabric choices, especially the background fabric.

    Oh, please do make a pattern. I have just the door to hang it on. There is a door with a window looking into the garage at the end of one of our hallways. It just happens to be very near our bedroom, so I see it every day. I have been wanting to make seasonal quilts to cover that window, and this would be perfect.

    It's a lovely door hanging and you should definitely do atutorial. We often don't even realize a fabric is directional until you start putting it together. A
    But sometimes it doesn't really matter if things go every which way. Thanks for being part of the blog hop.

    Oh Jen, this really is adorable! I'm a sucker for candy canes, so I am also interested in a pattern. I'm glad to see so much interest for you, how exciting! I like how you quilted the bow to look 3D, it's a nice effect. I am a puffy batting person, I get frustrated when I space off that one layer of 80/20 batting will not give me the definition that I want. Thank you for the inspiration, I think I am going to dig around for some red and white HST I have in my room, I just got an idea for a mini candy cane...

    Thanks for taking the time to make your wall hanging for Christmas in July. But we all do not have hour talents or skills in drawing. SO, YES a PATTERN would be GREAT! I know I'm a bit late commentig but I also know how we as (most women) just go on and never complain but some of us do. I am sorry if I am going on and on. It is very late here. So if I can help you obtain this pattern for 'the greater good' like I will do any requests within reason. Thanks for a fantastic idea. We eagerly await the pattern.

    I just found the blog hop and want to participate in the Christmas in July, but can't seem to figure out how to find the posted blocks? Where are they located? I just also say, I am new in the quilting area.. I've stumbled my way through several videos from Missouri Star and many on You Tube.. I've joined Facebook groups that I thought could help me. I have self taught myself to do very basic things, and have managed to make several things, table toppers, and have finished only 2 or 3 simple quilts. I see so much more I want to be able to do though. Is there anyone that can direct me somewhere for step by step help so I can learn the correct way to set up, cut, and sew my quilts together? I have one with binding attached.. this is the hardest part for me I think.. I can't get the binding to fold over and "catch" in my sewing with my machine it is cut to the specifications the information I found states.. but it just isn't big enough to fold and sew down. Ii'm so frustrated and want to finish it. I also tried to hand stitch the binding down.. time consuming and I just don't think I was doing it the correct way, it didn't look right.

      Bonnie - You are a no-reply comment, so I don't have a way to email you directly. There are so many different ways to make a quilt that there really isn't a "correct" way. You just need to find what works for you and makes you happy. This particular post is from 2017, but I do believe there is a 2019 hop running (although I didn't participate this year) if you want to look for that one.

      Thanks Jen R. I'm not sure how to set this for replies to comments.. I see only a Notify me check box below my comment area. I'll search the 2019. I did not even realize this was a post from that long ago! Wow! :) Thanks again.
