It has always been my intent to do a “Christmas in July” but I’ve never been able to pull it off. Although I am a planner and list-maker by nature, somehow I can’t wrap my head around Christmas while in the throes of long days with temps in the 90’s and grandkids complaining that there’s nothing to do… lol!
But this summer is just a wee bit better. So it’s not July, but August. And the kids are FINALLY back in school. And there’s a quilt show planned for October, where I hope to not only exhibit but also be a vendor (for my long-arm quilting services and custom quilts). And to have a few goodies for the show, I have this idea to make some embroidered Christmas ornaments with pockets on the back to double as gift card holders. I’ve got the embroidery done – now to figure out the rest. More to come…
