I love making gilded pinecones to hang on the tree. It gives the tree an earthy feel
for the holidays it is usually all about baking for me — cookies and breads. one of my LQS does a cookie tasting and recipe swap each year and it is always so much fun.
Hubs and I break out the origami and make paper balls as well.
My like making crocheted or cross stitched ornaments for the holidays. I also like to bake, cookies or cakes. I don't do much baking at other times of the year, just mainly at Christmas. Teresa_stonecypher@yahoo.com
Lovely giveaway 🙂 My favorite tradition is making cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning. I make them the day before, and set them in the fridge to rise, then pop them in the oven Christmas morning. Thanks for the giveaway, Merry Christmas! homesteadmom3 @ gmail dot com

I am off for two weeks at Christmas each year, and I call it "finish all the things" time. "In progress" quilting projects tend to pile up when you work 50 hours a week. Those two weeks are so much fun – quilting and sewing and crafting away.
Baking: Pumpkin pie and cookies. Thanks.

When my three grown daughters were little we made salt & flour cookie cutter ornaments each year. Now that I finally have grandchildren the tradition continues with them….
I love making Christmas cake cupcakes
My favorite Christmas ornament is a stick my son but a hook on when he was 4. He was so proud of himself for making is own ornament that it melted my heart and every year since it has had a place on my tree. Amy, armadillomail@loveable.com

I try and make something homemade for Christmas presents. This year I am making a Holiday Cookie Mix Gift Bag. It is a tutorial that I found on the Internet and it is so easy to do. Thank you for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway and giving all of us the chance to win your generous bundle of your own fat quarters along with the red Aurifil thread.

I always make chocolate bark and usually a different flavor each year
We collect the Hallmark ornaments. We each pick a new one out every year. My favorite tradition!
And I love felt ornaments too! I've been making a bunch this year for my daughter to play with.
My favorite ornament is a little mouse sitting on top of a cherry pie. My mom gave it to me years ago (too many to count) and it is always, always the first ornament that goes on the tree!

Love crocheting new ornaments every year and making cookies all shapes with my daughter.Amazing giveaway!
My sisters and I get together and make Christmas cookies/candy every year.
Every Christmas, I basically frantically try to craft all the things for all friends and family members. It is such a crazy time!! I start off with the ambitious goal of knitting something for everyone, but quickly start sewing things for people because it is faster. Alas, I often resort to buying things for the last few people on my list at the last minute. That's a tradition, right?
Thanks for the giveaway!

We have quite a few family traditions for Christmas. From our 7 fishes dinner on Christmas Eve, to waking at the crack of dawn to start visiting our grandkids to watch them open Santa's surprises, to everyone back to our house at night for dinner and gift exchange – grandkids do a "pollianna" at Thanksgiving and must make something for their special recipient – from the now 5 year old on up to the now 18 year olds! Thanks so much for the great giveaway! 🙂

My daughter is two, so holiday crafting traditions are new for us. And I have only been quilting 2.5 years, so my holiday crafting has mostly just been a rush to finish up Christmas gifts the last few years, and nothing before that unless you count the scratch-made lemon meringue pie my mother always requests. This year though, we made cookies for the first time. It was fantastic! Hugely messy, but fantastic. She spent the next day with her Nana and when she came she immediately pulled a chair over to the kitchen counter and climbed up and started saying "make cookies! make cookies!" and has been asking to make cookies again ever since.

It's all about the baking. Now that the kids are married this might happen before or after Christmas but we always manage to make our favorite recipes. Now with the grandkids we have added the decorating of gingerbread houses with Grandpa. We buy extra candy and make extra icing so there is plenty to go around. Even with all of your reminders I forgot the email address the first time 🙂 fraudonnaherr@gmail.com
My tradition is to complicate my existence and making my holidays super stressful by trying to sew all my presents for everyone haha… I never learn the lesson.
I love crocheted snowflakes. My favorite is one I copied from my grandma's tree when I was in college.
What a fabulous and generous giveaway. Thank you for the chance to win. We don't celebrate Christmas but I still try to do some baking every year at this time. My favourite cookie is a cheese shortbread. A lot of work but worth every second. And, I try to bake one new item every year, just in case it becomes a new favourite.
Every year I make something different for my family. This year it's 12 pot holder, one for each month. Thanks! jbscraps@yahoo.com

My favorite holiday activity is baking Christmas cookies and giving them to our neighbors. My husband comes with me as my "Sherpa" and we both wear Santa hats as we make the rounds. Merry Christmas!
I make an ornament for each family member every year. I started when my children were small with the idea that when they are grown and have their own tree they will have a collection of ornaments to decorate it.
My favorite thing to do was bake… everything! But especially, bake small sugar cookie cut outs and hang them from a small artificial tree, thus making a "cookie tree". My kids loved being able to literaly take a cookie off the tree and eat it!!! Thanks for the giveaway.

Hello, My name is Brenda and I have been quilting for over 10 years. Yet, this is the first year that I have ever made any kind of Christmas gifts. I discovered Pinterest earlier this year and have so much fun seeing all of the projects that people create. So this year, I decided to do some Christmas Crafts and have already fallen in love with it. Right now I am sewing some two sided quilted Christmas Stockings for both of my Nephews and my future Son in Law. For all of the ladies in my family, I am going to make each of them their own personal Christmas Wreath and Pin Cushions. Thank You for this wonderful chance at a great give away prize. I will sign up for your newsletter. my email address is
brend_ack@yahoo.com Have a wonderful creative day!
I made several crochet ornaments using a tapestry crochet technique! thanks for the chance!
My paternal grandparents came to the US from Sweden, so all things Swedish happen at this time of year–cookies, breads, ornaments, and this year I'm still hoping to get a Dala horse pillow made (or next year)! kswann48@gmail.com

We make a cardamom bread called jule kakke – loosely based on my great-grandmother's recipe. (we're gluten free now)
I love making mint brownies with a layer of chocolate ganache on top 🙂
My favorite Christmas tradition is our annual trip to Bronner's largest Christmas store in the world, each kid picks an ornament we personalize it with name and year. So fun to look back every year!!!

I have a fairly new tradition. I have started to make a handmade gift for all of my sisters and sisters in law for Christmas. Which means 8 handmade gifts each year! I'm hoping this will strengthen our familial relationships.
I especially like to read children's books like How the Grinch Stole Christmas and other stories during the holiday season. Merry Christmas!
I love decorating my tree every year. Just a fun thing to do that takes me all day!

my tradition is making 3 ingredient xmas cake, each year we experiment using different fruits,flours and liquids and always yummy.
We live in the mountains and have a zillion pinecones so we often make ornaments with them.

We have a huge Italian dinner with my husband's family on Christmas Eve(though there is not an Italian in the bunch!) Before going to bed I use the leftover garlic bread to make an awesome sausage egg bake, and the dinner rolls mixed with eggnog for a sweet strata.

I don't have a sewing pattern I make ornaments with, but I do knit them! I am going for the Mochimochiland Mini Snowman this year 🙂 So cute and tiny!
I love to bake Stollen using my mothers recipe.
I love baking! I have a party with friends and family, and we bake several batches of various cookies, fudge, and other treats. We sort them out onto trays and pass them out to neighbors and friends that evening/weekend. It's fun to have loved ones under one roof. 🙂
I just started a new tradition this year where an elf comes and leaves treats in the advent calendar I sewed up, someday I will start sewing ornaments, but not until we start having a real tree, right now it is a fake with fake ornaments. grecomara at gmail dot com
I enjoy baking & make several different cookie recipes (& eat way too many of them)!

Oh & don't forget the pecan tassies!
I like having folks over to taste test new recipes! Hoping this year to get a group together to make tamales. Thanks for the chance.

Ever since we moved to our small, rural town eleven years ago, I have been making Christmas cookies and taking them to the people who made our transition easier and made this feel more like home: the friendly people at the Post Office, the kind folks at Valley Vet who lovingly care for our animals, the guys at the PUD who restore our power during winter storms. This is a Christmas tradition I truly enjoy, and one year when I broke my foot and ankle and was unable to bake on crutches I learned that other people look forward to it as well.

We always make Cranberry Salad, my sweet mom's recipe.She use to make it with the metal grinder, hand turned style which she would bolt to the cabinet. We use our kitchen-aide. Raspberry and strawberry jello, pineapple, apple, orange with peels and cranberries, and courser chopped pecans.
I am still a little obsessed with quilted ornament balls. 🙂

I have too many to count. One of my favorites when my son was younger was to cut out 24 construction paper christmas trees which I decorated with glitter glue. I write a different christmas activity on the back of each. things from getting a peppermint ice cream cone, to watching the grinch that stole christmas to making christmas cookies. I would then number them from 1-24 and hang them across the mantle. each day we would do that day's activity. Great fun! momweaverathotmaildotcom

Favorite holiday tradition is teaching a friend to craft or sew and the joy it brings to their face and hearts w/even the small item completed:)They usually keep that "gift" for themselves and then make many more for family gifts.
Liked Persimon Dreams on FB:)
THank you Kim.

Thank you so much Kim.
I liked your Facebook page. Would love to win this fabric and thread. Especially the thread. Gotta love quality products as using your talents on "cheap" just isn't worth the time used.

I love dessert, so I enjoy baking to get the desired result, but this isn't just around the holidays. I like to quilt, but don't have holiday-specific crafting traditions that I know of.
Christmas means you make new Wall Hangings of Santa and Snowmen for my daughter's day care. Also have to make buckeye candies. Love your name – Persimon Dreams.
It wouldn't be Christmas at our house without decorated sugar cutout cookies.

I guess our holiday tradition is to fight with my hubby about putting the outside lights up! He always grumbles, but then enjoys it once they're up. Love just sitting and enjoying the Christmas lights with some cocoa (or some wine!).
