With the weather finally starting to cool, it is reminding me of Christmas time in the Northern hemisphere. I have been lucky enough to have experienced three winter Christmas’ – including a magical Christmas in Colorado where we went for sleigh ride on Christmas Day. I think that is why Christmas in July is so popular here in Australia – the traditional menu’s are more suited to the colder months, rather than a heavy meal in the middle of summer.
To celebrate Christmas in July there is going to be some on-line stitching fun over at QFD Creative. So if you want to celebrate Christmas in July, or simply want to make a head start on some Christmas crafting, head on over to QFD Creative. The QFD Creative Team is going to be joined by some fabulous guest designers for this on-line Christmas themed month of stitching.
You can read more about it here.
These lovely fabrics arrived in the mail today from QFD Creative. They are destined for some Christmas in July fun. It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas ……..
Lucky you i have never seen snow. Cant wait to see what delights you make with that fabric.

I love Christmas in July events, so thanks for the tip to this one. I’m excited! Love your new fabric purchases too, which are going to make such a pretty project. I am going to work on my Christmas in July ornament swap this weekend, and hope to post some info next week, so stay tuned.
What a fun idea! I can’t wait to see what you do with your fun new pile of fabrics!
No No No!!!! xxxx
This sounds fun,I`ll have to check out the link! We have snowy Christmas every year here but last year (2009) we spend our Christmas time in Perth and for the first time I experienced a “hot” Christmas with BBQ etc. and really enjoyed it too!
By the way you are not the only “Bookaholic” and thank you for the peg bucket tutorial, this comes in very handy for me as I need a new one…
Looks like you’re about to have some fun! I’m on my way over to QFD right now 🙂

What a great idea!!!! I cannot wait for all the craft-fabulousness!
I,ve already got my Homespun issue of Christmas in July on order 🙂
Beautiful fabrics. They look so pretty all stacked up in a pile.
Have a fun and happy weekend.

Seems like fun and even though the sun is shining and it is 29C at the moment, one can never be early enough to begin with Christmas presents (O:
A headstart on Christmas presents sounds like a great idea…I’m heading right over!!
