Last night at 8pm, I realized I needed to come up with 3 teacher appreciation gifts. I went to the good old trusty iPhone/iPad/E-reader stand (tutorial can be found here). Low and behold 60 minutes later, they were done. Woohoo!!
Linking up with Amanda Jean @ Crazy Mom Quilts for Finish it up Friday.
We had a wonderful Christmas, and we loved our great tree this year. I hope you all enjoyed your holidays as well.
Guess what I got for Chritsmas!!! I got the Accuquilt Go Mix and Match starter kit. I spent 1/2 an hour trying it out, cutting 12 blocks at a time. I quickly had 90 3.5″ cut squares. I love it – this will make such a difference in my least favorite activity – cutting.
I had a busy time leading up to Christmas. I made 30 iPhone/iPad stands, two of which were gifts for the hubby and the little one. The VW stand below is one of the hubby’s Christmas presents. He is a huge VW van fan. The fabric is one I purchased a while back from Spoonflower, Rainbow peace campers by Sharon Turner.
I finally finished my Christmas Stocking, one day late, but perfect for next year. I fussy cut the Santa’s – fabric is Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Creative Thursday for Andover Fabrics. I then used paper piecing improv blocks for the surrounding area. I loved how it turned out.
One final picture of our three stockings all hanging in front of the fire place. The other two were made last year and blogged about here and here.

YAY!!! Giveaway day. My favorite things about Sew Mama Sew’s give away day is the ability to give something away and two, meeting all the old and new friends. If you are interested, here are my projects, I have finished this year.
I am in love with Spoonflower.com, which is probably obvious from the numerous posts over the last year of the fabric purchases. Spoonflower is a place to go purchase designs from independent designers. Spoonflower wil You can purchase now custom fabric, wall paper, gift wrap and decals.
This giveaway consists of an stand + a gift certificate. The stand is made from Spoonflower designer, Eloisa Docton (who is based here in Cary, NC). It is called Framed Monkeys, which is adorable and bright.
The stand works for an iPad and iPhone.
I have added a tab at the top, don’t you hate when you have your phone or device by your bed and the cable for charging is almost always on the floor? The tab will hold your cable in place.
Lastly, I am including a $25 gift certificate to spoonflower.com as part of the giveaway. (Please note, I have no sponsorships and this is paid by me, it is not a paid plug).
Leave a comment on what you would like for Christmas. If you are a follower, leave a second comment. I will probably not get around to answer all the posts but I hope you have fun.
