Stitch On!

Have you picked up the latest Stitch magazine?
These are my Ornament Tree placemats. I'm making a couple more so I can have them for the whole family. There are loads of great projects. Trisch's bag is so cute and Lisa's towels have inspired me to make some Christmas towels for my kitchen.  Be sure to check it out!
I have a couple of extra copies to give away.  Would you like one?  Leave a comment and let me know what you're sewing for the holidays.
Winners have been chosen!  Thanks for sharing your holiday project lists!

    Wow those are really cute. Now I'm feeling the need to make some of those. As of right now I am making large throws for husband and mom and then I am making hotpads and kitchen towels for my 2MIL's and my SIL. Maybe I should add some festive placemats to those baskets.

    For the holidays? for the Halloween break I just want to start an other birdie stitching and it should end up as a table runner for the Wintertime (birdie with snowman). for the Christmas break I want to start a quilt for my friends wedding and my girl wants to have a mug rug for herself. Some other plans are in my head but I am not sure if I have time ...

I'm also making felt ornaments for cousins and my kids. And for myself - 2 hexagon table placemats, an advent calendar and a banner for the fireplace. And maybe a couple of pillows if I find the time (which looking at my list, I'm thinking not...)

    I'd love a copy...I made tree placemats and will do up some napkins for a set. I've got some recycled mittens cut and ready to sew up. This is great inspiration!

    Nice magazine spread! I have to make a stocking for Mina and I think a Christmas dress since I can't find one I like for a reasonable price. I probably owe my mom a quilt but that's not likely happen.

    Thanks for the giveaway! I just finished piecing Snow-Kissed Star by Konda Luckau that was on the cover of the Nov/Dec McCall's Quilting Mag. I used a Flurry jelly roll so it went together fast. I'm going to make one more because the jelly roll will make two. I'm giving one quilt as a gift and keeping the other for a Christmas wall hanging!

    Great holiday placemats, your work is always so fun. And it's almost Christmas...I'm still making baby quilts. Better get busy, will start by looking for that special issue of Stitch magazine.

    I bought a pattern at a LQ show for quilted file folder carriers (I'm sure there is a better name) and have already collected fabric that "identifies" each friend and family member. It will be a fun easy gift!

    With a baby due in the middle of December I'm keeping my sewing plans pretty low key. I've got a Christmas blanket to finish and then I saw some cute things on Sew Mama Sew that I'd love to try. But again it's all about how much time do I have.

    I love your project for this issue. Great work! I was a huge fan of stitch when it first came out, but it is getting heavy on ads and skinny on meat (new projects and articles). I guess that is my beef with most magazines.

    Stylish and elegant, indeed! I love your color scheme, looks festive although one could use it during the entire year.

    Oh my gosh, I LOVE those placemats. I would be thrilled to have one of those extra copies. Thank you for offering to us.

    I'm working on some table runners for the holidays. And am hoping to get stockings done as well for quite a few in my family who need them.
