December 8, 2014 by persimondreams 969 Comments

Happy Giveaway Day!  That’s right ‘tis the Season for Sew Mama Sew’s Giveaway Day!  I LOVE Giveaway Day! (well..technically week).  It’s a great opportunity to take some time, check out bloggers, and of course – win some giveawaydaydec8goodies in the process!

Before we get to the giveaway I want to tell you WHY you want to follow my blog and read it every time I post!
Project QUILTING – a fun quilting challenge that gets posted every other week.  Season 6 will be starting at the beginning of January and it’s never too late to join in the fun!  Either check out this POST to find out more about Project QUILTING OR watch the interview I did with Nancy Zieman for Sewing with Nancy. 
I’m also hosting my very first Project QUILTING Retreat weekend this coming January!  There’s still room for you to sign up and join in on the fun!  All the details can be found HERE. 

Quilt Alongs – We’re nearing the end of the 52 Twisted Traditional Block Quilt Along!  I just have three more block tutorials to share with everyone but feel free to take a look back and see how 49 different traditional blocks were twisted into something unexpected! 
I have a plan in my mind about a quilt along for 2015 but I have to iron out a few details before I announce the details.
Block Tutorials – Whenever other bloggers are doing quilt along’s I’m always happy to create a block for them.  When this happens it is also shared on my blog with my readers/followers.
Propelled Pixels Quilt

Random Projects – I’m constantly making something!  I do my best to share with you what I’m working on, how it’s going, and things I’ve learned.  One of my latest creations is ‘Propelled Pixels’. 

Family and Orchard – I have three beautiful baby girls, a handy hubby and an apple orchard.  You’ll get to hear more about our adventure’s throughout the year and for some reason it seems like we’re never lacking in adventure.

Alright… enough about me!  Let’s see what I’m GIVING AWAY this week!…

    My favorite holiday tradition is trimming the tree with our kids when they were younger and now our grandchildren. We have so much fun looking at the different ornaments collected over the years, some I made some were bought for special events. Then we have cookies and treats.

    my favorite tradition, is making a large basket of Christmas cookies and bringing it to my late husbands dialysis center. They have to work Christmas eve and they don't get lunch breaks. This gives them something to snack on during the day/night while they work.

    My favorite holiday tradition is the junk Yankee Swap my family always did. Everyone brings as many 'presents' as they want and in a round robin fashion, everyone picks a gift and opens it. You are allowed to swap your 'gift' for anyone else's gift and there is always one thing that became the sought after gift. When I say gift I mean things like empty toilet paper tubes, ziploc baggies full of dryer lint, a box with 1 earring back in it. Silly, ridiculous gifts that cost nothing and made us all laugh. It could last for hours and was so much fun. And the kicker is that it was only for the adults. Xmas is for kids but this activity belonged to the adults. I was so excited the first year I qualified to play ' the game' as we referred to it! Not only one of my favorite Christmas traditions but one of my favorite memories, ever. monique.belmer at gmail dot com

    Our holiday tradition is that my mom's family gets together on Christmas Eve. We have drinks and a nice big dinner. The kids, 3 little ones, opens presents first. Then the adults. This gives us a chance to relax and have another glass of wine or a bloddy mary. It brings the family together and you just get to enjoy everyone. Thank you for being a part of Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway and the opportunity to win fabric and thread. It's like a quilter's dream come true.

    My favorite holiday tradition is cranking up the Christmas tunes on the radio and decorating the tree. So many memories of friends and family are rekindled as I hang the various ornaments, and my favorites remain the ones my children made when they were youngsters.

    Making & putting up all the paper snowflakes that hang from the ceiling. It looks like a snow storm inside with the slightest movement of air. We did this with our sons & now do it with our grand kids…and although our great granddaughter is too young to participate in the making of them, she loves watching the snow flakes dance.

    My newest Christmas tradition is also my favorite, and that is gathering with my husbands family a few days before Christmas before dinner. I help his mother in the kitchen before and after and she is generous with the Wassail she makes every year. We are a fantastic duo in the kitchen and it feels more like relaxing than work (though that could be the Wassail!). We also put the yule log on the TV, which started out as a joke to us and it it stuck, so that's my other favorite thing! Thanks for the chance to win!

      So glad to have found you on this Giveaway Kim & love the prize you are so generously providing. Thank you ever so much.
      The favored tradition "around the Christmas tree each Christmas Eve" is sharing our memories of all our family members "who have gone on" (here no more). The youngsters are enthralled to know that their great, great grandmother did not have a washing machine, etc &, the fun times with family reunions, working the farms, attending a one room school with a coal burning stove, etc. You can imagine the questions that follow from these "techies" & even some of us older family members learn new things about our ancestors. So, we keep them close by remembering, sharing, laughing, & crying. That is our very best tradition! (loosecannon2@live.com)
      I will follow on FB.

    My family would go Christmas caroling and delivering cookies to friends and neighbors. It was a lot of climbing in and out of the van (there were 8 of us kids) but there are some very fond memories of doing that every year. My husband doesn't sing, and my daughter is only two, but we still like to deliver goodies to friends.

    My very favorite is after eating thanksgiving and Christmas dinner the family makes "teams" and we have a bean bag toss competition. It's really fun because all ages can play. From children to adult. We all love it. And since we live in Louisiana it's usually really nice weather to be playing outside. LOL. Thanks for the chance to win. I love aurifil thread and your hand dye fabric looks really beautiful

    My favorite part of Christmas is the decorations, especially the lights. Typically, right after Thanksgiving I pull out all my holiday decorations and enjoy Christmas music while I decorate. Love it.

    My favorite tradition is gathering at my mother's house and doing a white elephant Christmas present exchange! Everyone is supposed to bring something that they don't like and we number based on how many people are there, then we start with the first gift. Each person has the choice of taking the present before them, and it gets competitive. But number 1 can take anything at the end of the game! One year an enema was in the gifts and my older aunt exclaimed, "I really needed this!" It is hilarious and you can't keep the kids away! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

    My favorite holiday tradition is actually St. Nicholas day. Up until these last two years after my family moved too far away to just drive, every year on Dec. 5th we would gather around my mom on the floor and listen to the St. Nick story. Now, I'm 23 and the youngest of us 4 kids is now a freshman in highschool but that doesn't stop us from cuddling up close to one another to listen to the story and but in when my mom "accidently" messes up or forgets a part. Afterwards, we hang our stockings and go to bed early. The next morning we all get up early and see what St. Nick left us – fuzy socks, cute note pads, new pencils/ pens for school, and those chocolate coins. We all say its our favorite part of the holidays because its a reminder that its not about getting expensive presents but about giving to others and focusing on being together. 🙂
