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.
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!…

Good morning from Minnesota! I'd have to say I'm enjoying my Christmas tree the most because it lights up the whole house and makes winter nights so cheery and cozy. (Thanks for the giveaway!)
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 actually getting up Thanksgiving and watching the parade and then hanging out all day while the food cooks. Thanks for the giveaway!
Singing. Hands down.

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

I wear my paper cracker hat upside down at the dinner table just like my Dad used to.

My favourite Christmas tradition is looking at Christmas lights with our church family. We all load up on a bus and drive through several different neighborhoods, stopping along the way for coffee and hot cocoa. Lots of fun!
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.
Thank you for your generosity in donating such great items!

My favourite holiday tradition is being with the whole family together and playing games.
I have yet to lay my nimble fingers on Aurafil thread…I need some!
My favorite holiday tradition is taking our kids out in their jammies (all wrapped up in a hand-made quilt) and driving around town to see the lights and decorations. Then we'd head home and tuck them in bed!
Taking a drive to see all the Christmas lights and decorations!
My favorite longtime tradition is honoring the meaning of Christmas by attending a midnight service on Christmas Eve to bring in Christmas Day. geneblack At gmail dOt com
I just love watching the kids! Nothing like the magic of kids at Christmas 🙂
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 favourite tradition is probably all sitting down together for Christmas dinner on Christmas Day. It's always a wonderful time. Thanks for a fab giveaway.
Watching Christmas Story with my grandfather each year. Every year he ends up saying, "Have we seen this before."
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!

Eating tourtiere for the holidays is one of my favourites!
My favorite holiday tradition is going home to see the family. I live in Texas now and they are all in Virginia, so it just makes Christmas that much better knowing I get to spend an extended amount of time at home!
Same here! We moved to TX almost 3 years ago and family and friends are back in MD & VA.
I love the family getting together.
My favorite tradition is Christmas Eve paella at my Dad & Stepmom's house.
Since we don't celebrate Christmas I will pick a different holiday. My favourite tradition is decorating the front yard for Halloween and watching entire families ooh and aah at it.
What a great prize to possibly win. Thank you. kj_hahn (at) telus (dot) net
On Thanksgiving, my family drinks hot cocoa and decorates our Christmas tree while watching the football game. It is my absolute favorite!

My favorite holiday tradition is listening to "old" Christmas music – the stuff that my parents played on vinyl when I was a kid. Oh, Bing Crosby, how I love you…
This "new" Christmas music is just the worst. Why oh why is the French Canadian singing a Spanish-language song?
I'm really not as old as I sound…
Lovely giveaway!

My favorite holiday tradition is painting rolled out sugar cookies with egg yolk paint. I started this when my oldest was 3 and now he's 35 and over the years the kids have really become great artists. They are "painted" and then baked and look like stain glass windows. We use lots of different cookie cutters from my cookie cutter collection. kthurn@bektel.com

As a child,my favorite tradition was waiting at the top of the stairs with my brother and sister until our parents were up and my dad had gone downstairs to turn on tree lights (and let the dog go outside). Only after that waiting could we rush downstairs to fi d our stockings.

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)

Favorite tradition at Christmas is going to the Christmas Eve services at our church.
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 favorite thing to do for the Holidays is to make family and friends ornaments. For several years, I embroidered snowflakes but this year I have switched to quilted mini stockings.

Wow, your tree is HUGE! My fave tradition growing up was taking a plate of cookies to the firehouse on Christmas Eve. The firemen loved it too 🙂
On the night of Dec. 6 we have the kids put their boots outside the door so that St. Nick can fill them, I think this is a German tradition that has made it to my family and now that my son is named Nikolaos, Dec. 6th is his name day, so a double celebration.

My favourite Holiday "Tradition": Not to get up sooo early 😉
My favorite tradition is going to the Nutcracker Ballet here in Seattle, WA.
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 tradition was attending the Christmas Eve service and singing carols.
My husband puts the lights on our tree and then my two kids and I put on the ornaments. They are 18 and 20 now – not sure if this tradition will continue! 🙁
i love it all but mostly time with the family

Wow that is a big Christmas Tree. I can't believe your husband had to cut 8 feet off. Amazing. Lovely tree.
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.

Hmm… So many great ones. I love that we really decorate the living room. It has old wood paneled walls and just glows during the holidays.
I just love getting together with family. My family seems to get smaller every year, I wish I'd had more children to keep the numbers up, lol! 🙂
That is quite a tree! My favorite holiday tradition is baking cookies with my mom and sister (and now our kids, too).
I love setting up the advent calendar for our kids and filling it with Bible verses, Christmas ornaments, sweet treats and cute craft supplies.

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!

Our tradition is to have mimosas on Christmas Day with a huge mid-afternoon meal of those foods we won't splurge on during the year, like crab legs or crown roast. We also sit around with guitars and sing all types of music.

Daaaaang that tree! I've had a 6" root we decorate in lieu of a tree every year. My dad gave us an artificial tree last year, which the kids enjoy.

My favorite holiday tradition? I take my girl friend's children ice skating each year at the artificial ice rink. It is a special treat we all look forward to since we live in a "we never see snow climate" in the southern US.
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. 🙂
