Part Three of Christmas In July

Well, I'm finally in the home stretch of my Christmas in July pictures!

Today is a few pics from the West Center shop, starting with Halloween!

Don't 'cha just love this Trick or Treat runner made from a panel??  I think it would love great on a door or a wall.  The little table topper is wonderful too - fast and easy, and very Halloweeny!  (Did you notice that that rhymed? Gosh, I'm a poet and didn't know it!  Cheesy, I know.)

Look at this pumpkin beauty!  Did you know that the inner pumpkin fabric glows in the dark??  We made 15 Minute Table Runner and Halloween pillowcase kits from it too.  Won't the kiddos love those?!

We've got a GREAT selection of Halloween fabric too!

Not everything is Halloween.  Here's our "fall" table with the more muted autumn colors and projects.

And, of course, the Ghastlies have made a return visit this fall.  This has really been a shop favorite.  Don't 'cha love the spider web quilting design we quilted on it??

Oh... and here it is ... The 15 Minute Table Runner display.  We have customers that have made over a dozen of these because they're so quick and easy and make great gifts too.

Below is our Halloween cabinet display.  Lots of great goodies in here - a Halloween stitchery from Buttermilk Basin, Spidey table topper, a new cookbook for fall from Gooseberry Patch, mini Twist Bag kits, and more!  Be still my little stitching heart!

Don't you just LOVE, LOVE this??  "Crazy Jack" (with kits, of course!) from the Buggy Barn book, Frightfully Crazy.  I'm going to get this kit on the web site as soon as I can, 'cause it was a great seller for Christmas in July.

So.. are you ready for a little winter and Christmas??

If you've been following along (and I hope you have!), you've seen that the Papillion store had a great quilt from Whimiscals of the entire panel from the Winterberries Christmas line.  Here, we've stitched up two of those panels into separate "wall warmers" for your home.  The muted colors are so pretty, aren't they?

And.. we've got a yummy snowman flannel quilt and pillow case kits.  These babies will go all through winter!

I know this isn't a great picture... once again, short little 'ole me had to shoot up on the wall, but you get the idea.  Aren't these quilts fun?  And fast and easy too!

These Santa quilt blocks are taken from vintage postcards and screen printed onto fabric.  With just a little batik border fabric, you can make them into wonderful little Christmas quilts!

Here's the kits.  I'm going to put these on the web site too!

A LOT of really cool "Jovial" fabric from Moda, with a couple of fun 15 Minute Table Runners to match.  We have a wonderful BIG quilt coming from this line, but we were waiting for more background fabric, so it didn't get done for Christmas In July.  It's getting quilted now, so it'll be up soon.

We had a demo of the Yo Yo Maker going on off and on in the classroom, along with this fun yo yo garland that was on display.  It's really easy to make with the Yo Yo Maker and a charm pack....

AND... Carla was demoing the pinwheel tool from Primitive Gatherings on this new fabric from Marcus.  The fabric is printed in little squares - just the right size for the pinwheel tool - so you don't have to piece all those little squares together!!  You just add a border and start cutting - yeah!  It makes a to-die-for table runner - you can see half of it on the table - in no time at all.  Cool, huh??

Okay - DOUBLE WHEW...  we've made it through Christmas in July!  But, as always, we're not done.  We'll continue to display new and awesome holiday models in the stores as we get 'em finished.  Stay tuned....
