Starting today, every day for the next 25 days, I'll be bringing you the fastest, most stress-free ways to still bring sewing and needlework into your hectic holidays.
If you live in North America (and maybe in other places throughout the world as well), after Thanksgiving is over the Christmas holidays are in full swing. And baby, it is ON. We all dream of that Norman Rockwell family, enjoying cocoa around the fire and everyone getting along and the perfect presents wrapped prettily under the tree.
Unfortunately, most of us live in the real world, where it's a mad rush to the mall and budgets to keep within, and little kids screaming because they are hungry or too hot, and traffic to fight through.
Those of us who like to craft, sew, and stitch find it hard to squeeze in any time to work on a project with all of the parties, cooking, cleaning, eating, drinking, shopping, and hangovers to deal with. The irony is that indulging in something we love would greatly reduce some seasonal stress.
So I've put together twenty-five articles with quick, easy, and fun ways to make handmade items that will please both you and their recipients (should you decide to part with it!). Every day, I'll add a new one. The beauty part is that even if you decide to do each project (or a project from each article) you'll still be done before Christmas day.
I've added an index with the entire Project Listing, which will be updated every day with the link to the day's article. Today's article is Easy Holiday and Seasonal Quilts.
If you don't celebrate Christmas, you'll still find all of these articles helpful and appropriate... they aren't holiday-specific. They apply to birthdays, Secret Sisters, teacher's gifts, Mother's Day, and everyday. So no matter whether you are heading into Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice, or just want ideas for extremely quick ways to finish your projects, these articles are for you.
