I know it's late in the Christmas Season, but I'm still in "inspiration" mode since I haven't been able to do any decorating. I looked back in my posts and I realized I've only done one on Christmas decor and that was my Christmas Home Tour from last year. I've still been "pinning" pics of current posts from everyone; but hey, it will still be good for next year! So I thought I'd share a few pics and links from some of my fave inspiration... and I threw in a few pics from my past Christmas posts. You all know I'm anxious to get to the new place, even though it will be too late to decorate for Christmas.

Please don't share this link with anyone else. ---------------------------- Printing Tips: You are free to print as many copies as you need, and can print from home or send to an online/local print shop. I recommend using medium to heavy cardstock. Ink colors can vary greatly depending on the printer used, and may appear different from what you see on screen. For that reason, I cannot guarantee that your printer will deliver true-to color results. Due to the amount of ink used on the chalkboard templates, it’s not recommended you print from home. However, you can send it to an online printer or local print shop like staples, Office Max, Kinko’s, Walmart, etc. You are essentially printing the black ink onto white cardstock so the white text is not white ink, but the white cardstock showing through the black ink. For example, if you use ivory cardstock then the text would be ivory. If printing professionally, please be sure to specify that you DO NOT want the files scaled to fit, unless you don’t mind if the files are scaled down about a quarter of an inch. I have found that some local print shops do this unless you specify otherwise. ---------------------------- All designs are for personal use and remain the copyright of Mountain Modern Life, and cannot be resold or redistributed.
I love Christmas quilts. I have several, but it never seems like enough. We love to snuggle up and watch Christmas movies or read Christmas stories, and we each must have our own Christmas quilt! One inevitably gets taken to someone's room, or left downstairs when we need it upstairs, so I have decided I need to make lots so we can always find one when we need it! When I saw this cute retro Santa Claus Lane fabric by Melissa Mortenson of Polka Dot Chair, I was immediately inspired to make my Christmas quilt for this year. I wanted something different than what I already had, and I wanted something that would be fairly quick and easy to make. I already have a Christmas quilt with a low volume background, one with a mint green background, and red generally scares me, so this time I decided to use pink! I used Riley Blake Swiss Dots in Baby Pink, and I just love how it turned out. I made a traditional Irish Chain pattern, and it was so easy! I strip-pieced my 9 patch blocks, so no sewing lots of little squares. And I love that there is no fabric waste with this pattern and no triangles to trim off. It went together so easily, and the borders really set off the pink. And, as a treat to myself, I decided to have my quilt quilted by my long-arm quilting friend, Heather from Material Girls Quilting. She always does such a great job and puts up with my quick turn around time and short deadlines! I used a white flannel backing fabric, and I'm so glad I did. It shows off that beautiful quilting (with pink thread!) perfectly! Along with the beautiful quilting, my favorite part of this quilt is probably the binding. I tried something new this time, and I love how it turned out! I used two fabrics to make a little 3-D flange and to give it some contrast, and I'm going to show you how to do it too! Just scroll to the bottom of this post for instructions! I also made a matching pillow, using my Cathedral Window Pillow Pattern, which I hope to have ready soon. I love how this pattern can show off the cutest fussy cuts. And let's face it, this Santa fabric was made for fussy cutting! Flanged Binding Instructions You will need 2 different fabrics. Cut the main binding print into 1.5" x WOF strips, and the contrasting flange fabric into 2" x WOF strips. Sew the two strips together and press toward the 1.5" strip. Sew all of your WOF strips together, then fold binding strip in half, wrong sides together, and press. Sew the binding to the BACK of your quilt. Fold over, clip in place, then machine stitch in the ditch on the top side of the binding. So easy, but what an impact it makes! I can't wait to snuggle up with my new Christmas quilt and pillow this winter! In fact I may not wait. I feel a Christmas in July movie marathon coming on... Happy Sewing! Stephanie
Welcome again to Lil' Vintage Story Books, where we share our favorite vintage children's books! This week, I unpacked the Christmas boxes, and pulled out all our Christmas books! It's fun to get to read books we haven't seen for a while! Here we have "The Poky Little Puppy's First Christmas", by Adelaide Holl, illustrated by Florence Winship, and pubished in 1972. I don't know if you can tell by the photos, but it's actually a large Golden book, about 11x14. It's about five mischevous little puppies (the same from the original "Poky Little Puppy") who sneak off and see their first Christmas tree. They scheme to create a Christmas of their own. They leave a note for Santa- too cute! Here's my favorite- they wake up the next morning to find an addition to their note! Mother always knows!! Then the sweet poky puppy puts his own addition onto the note. They wake up Christmas morning to lots of presents for everyone! And a special present from their mother- jingle bell collars so that she can keep track of them! Tee hee! Thanks for stopping by!
