Christmas in July: Day Three

I'll be home for Christmas! ...as long as home is on Holly Lane! We are in love with this quilt - close your eyes and imagine a wonderful, snow-covered village...add a great sewing machine and we would move right in!

This Holy Lane Quilt Kit includes everything you need for the quilt top and binding. And don't worry, there are no templates involved in the making of this quilt. The applique is very easy so don't let that discourage you. If you already love to applique we know you will love this!

Coming home is another great part of the Christmas holiday season. Whether you are the host or are traveling with family - the fond memory of "home" prevails. ...what sort of home is tasty? A Gingerbread House! Since we like to spend most of our time quilting and minimal time in the kitchen - here at QBTB we opt for Gingerbread house cookies versus building the entire house! This is a great idea for the holidays when you have grandkids visiting! Here is a simple recipe:

1 pouch of Gingerbread Cookie Mix - we just buy any brand of mix and prepare as directed. (Betty Crocker is tried and true!) Make squares and triangles out of the dough and bake!Next, decorate! White Frosting, M&Ms, Twizzlers, and Candy Canes are all that you need. How fun is it to make a gingerbread house match your quilt? You may even be able to convince those grandkids to make a quilt block or two with you if they know cookies are on the way!

Enjoy and Happy Quilting!
