    What I like most about Christmas besides the cozy feeling it gives me is all the lovely nights leading up to it spent with my fiance and our friends drinking mulled wine, listening to Christmas music and eating good food, candy and cakes =)

    I love the lights of Christmas! I told the kids that when I'm in a nursing home, to make sure they string lights somewhere in my room. I love gazing at lights and contemplating deep thoughts or zoning out Ha!

    Not considered a tool per say, but I love the internet for quilting. So much inspiration, places to get fabric fixes and free patterns. Tutes to try something new and always someone to help you out of a funk.

    I LOVE gadgets, my favorite (apart from my go cutter) is a template called kaleidoscope the smart way.. I have the book and template and it's great for kaleidoscope blocks, you start with a pinwheel block and then trim off the sides.

    Oh, on Dec. 17, 1972 my first and only child, a beautiful daughter named Emily was born. The whole month of December has such special meaning for me. It is truly a magical time. Now, I have 4 beautiful grandchildren to share the holidays with, and the best part is that we only live 20 min. away from them now.
    Happy Holidays,

    What I Love about Christmas is being with family and friends. My son is in the US Marine Corp and he will be home this Christmas. He deploys to Afghanistan next year and we're not sure if he will be home next year for the holidays. I'm going to cherish these holidays!

    I love seeing the change of people who stop to give a smile, open a door, give to others in need. It is like a magic of love in the air, even with the hustle and bustle that goes around us, it is still visible.

    What a fabulous giveaway! What I love most about Christmas is spending time with my family during the several days I take off work. It's a great time to slow down and think about what's important.

    My favorite quilting tool has to be my rotary cutter. I know, it's kind of basic, but the few projects I've done where I had hand-cut templates made me appreciate it even more!

    My favorite quilting tool is my Puple Thang. It's a plastic stick with a pointy end and a squared off end. It's great for feeding tricky pieces into my sewing machine and holding them in place. I make a great smoother for curved seams. I've used it to push filler into stuffed items like pincushions. Love my Purple Thang.

    I love working on handmade Christmas gifts – using up stash or buying new and pretty fabric, finding new patterns to try out (yesterday I bought a reindeer stuffy pattern so I'll be trying that today!), picking fun projects for family or friends 🙂 With the nieces/nephews getting older, the list of babies to sew for is getting longer – I LOVE THAT!

    I am following your blog. I just love everything about Christmas – food, lights, decorating, hustle and bustle of buying presents, exchange of presents and all the hugs. Gotta love it. The favorite quilting tool for me is the Thread Cutters. Yes, I would love to own Flurry Jelly Roll. What a quilter couldn't make with this. Ah, the options and decisions. Thank you for your giveway.

    Happy holidays

    My favorite quilting tool is my sewing machine! 🙂 I have done some hand piecing, and it really gives me a strong respect for those women of olden days who did all their sewing by hand… My sewing machine isn't super fancy or expensive, but she's a hard working girl, and I really do appreciate her! 🙂

    I have two favorite quilting tools. 1st is my spring loaded Fiskars snippers. Second is my digital camera. It's easier for me to layout my pattern and take a picture of it and then piece it rather than labeling rows with blocks. Thanks for the chance to win your giveaway.

    How did we live without rotary cutters and cutting mats. It used to be scissors all the way. Now we can make quilts faster, but yet still not fast enough when you continue to see incredible new quilts and quilting projects.

    One of my favorite tools is the cutting ruler called Shape cut by june taylor. It is marked in 1/2 inch segments and does such a nice job of cutting out blocks or pieces of fabric. There is also a 1/4 inch one that I use occasionally.

    What I look forward around Christmas time is the cool weather. Around here it's only cool or cold for about 2 or 3 months out of the year – the rest of the time humid and roasting.

    I don't think I've entered this…and scrolled through the 453 posts to see, but if I did accidentally please forgive me. There are a lot of cool giveaways going on, and I'm getting confused 😉 My fave Christmas thing is making cookies and homemade mint hot chocolate for my family while they decorate the tree. Recipe on request 😀

    My favorite thing about the holidays is just being with family. I always loved sitting down to a big meal, playing 'adult' games after dinner (like trivial pursuit and cribbage – if you thought anything else, then get your head out of the gutter!), sitting around the tree while one of my uncles played santa … good memories!

    My favorite quilting tool … I could go sappy and say my husband who has always supported me and allows me to spend the last month of each year doing nothing but sew (and take care of our 2 year old son), or I could go practical and say a binder clip. I use the binder clip to clip my ruler to the cutting mat when making long cuts, I have a bunch of them numbered to keep groups together, I can use them to hang flat objects such as rulers or templates on my peg board – or a group of squares on my design wall, and finally I use the binder clips as clamps to hold down plastic templates on my Hinterberg frame.
