Twelve Weeks of Christmas

Week 9

It's All About Family!

Remember when you were little and you couldn't wait until the first snow?  All you wanted to do is get outside and build a snowman... or maybe even three!  This week's ornament "It's All About Family" is one of the best things about the holiday season!  During the year we are so busy with our own lives we just seem to pass by times when we could all be together.  However, there is always great hugs, laughter, fun, and food within our family during the holiday season!  It's just wonderful!

This group of family is made from wool and the little baby snowman is made from wool roving balls that are connected together and attached to the ornament.  Simply adorable.  Download your free pattern, order your kit, and have fun making number nine in our Twelve Weeks of Christmas!

To print your FREE PATTERN and order your kits look on the right hand side bar - click on Twelve Days of Christmas!  Don't forget about your thread package and our    Dear Santa! Ornament  

It's a perfect gift for the children in your family that write lists to Santa... once they've completed their list - roll it up and tie it in Santa's mitten.  Hang it on the tree - lie in on the floor with Santa's Cookie plate, tie it to the outside front door know (if you have NO fireplace) - or how about on the bedpost?  There are tons of options... let your child help you decide!  Remember - it's all about making memories!  Everything included in the kit.  Patterns are NOT sold separately.

Dear Santa!

DEAR SANTA!

So... have the kids and grand kids already been thinking about what they would like for Christmas?  What they want to ask Santa for? 

I can remember my sister and I sprawled out near the Christmas tree - with the sparkling lights shining on the pages of our toy catalogs from Sears, Spiegel, Montgomery Wards... (I'm  telling on my age) ... eating popcorn and drinking Kool-Aid... with our crayons in hand circling pictures of all the toys we loved!  We did not have much money in our family when we were little, but we made great memories - special moments like this BEING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY!   We knew Santa could not bring everything on our list - but we sure had fun giving him options!  HA!

These types of memories last through a child's lifetime - not what toy they received -  but the entire process of being together as a family and celebrating with fun traditions.

So let's begin with each child completing their personal Christmas list (included in kit) - then rolling it up and placing in Santa's mitten and hanging on the tree  with excitement!

Santa is appliqued onto Army blanket wool.

Finishes approximately 10" x 10" 

Kit Contents:

Pattern Instructions and Templates

Army Blanket Wool 

All Wool for Santa

Black Twill Tape (for mitten)

Heavy Duty Iron-on Fusible

Rusty Jingle Bells

Black Clip Hook (to hang the ornament)

BAAA Wool Club - Club Fee

It's time for the first project debut!!

Our BAAA WOOL CLUB is a one-year commitment with a monthly fee of $25 + postage of $8 per month - totaling $33 per month.  Olde Green Cupboard will invoice you on a quarterly schedule via PayPal.  Each quarter will total $99.  The Registration form does require a credit card be kept on file by OGC in the event the quarterly payment is not met.  

Here is a link to the Registration form.  Please print, complete and mail directly to the address noted on the form. 

Several of you have asked to see some of the projects - just to be sure this is a club you feel comfortable joining.  I do agree with you.... it's a bit scary sometimes to commit to a program when you are just not sure what all will be offered - and will you enjoy the projects - and more importantly, will you like them?  Are they YOU?  So with that in mind... I've decided to give you photos to look over.  The first project is a cotton and wool table mat.  My sister, Vicky, came up with this idea and I thought is was super-dooper!

One of the things that always disappointed me after making a table mat was seeing the design hidden after I would decorate the table by placing a basket, flowers, etc.  We've left one end open so when placing a plant, candle or lamp on the mat, you can still see and enjoy the design.

Our first picture is the finished project - a quilted, wool, applique table mat!  Some of you may not be fabric "piecers" - that's okay!  If you are not a lover of using the sewing machine, we can do this project by hand. (honest...it's not hard.)  We are going to have all types of techniques in our club - hand piecing, machine applique, hand applique, embroidery, so hang on and learn along with the rest of the group.

                   
                  LOVE - WOOL MAT

12 1/2" x 16"

Check out the far end of this mat!  No applique! 

This is the area you will place your home decor items and the design will not be hidden!

The placement of the eggs and the inner shadow of the nest give it a 3-D appearance.  Dress it up with some crazy straight stitches to replicate twigs and your nest will look GREAT!

You will add some head "bobble" stitches, a big fat juicy worm and some chest feathers to give your bird a bit of character!

Layering and overlapping vintage mother of pearl buttons give a perfect appearance of berries in the tree.

Once the applique and embroidery is completed and the bias binding has been attached - place some blue running stitches along the inner edge of the binding to add a bit more texture and trim to the finished piece.

Your kit will come with all fabric and wool - the front piece is from a line of fabric I designed for Marcus Brothers.  The backing and binding will be different in each kit.  I can hear you gasping... NO... I WANT IT JUST LIKE YOURS!  Am I correct?  Well, this is where you and I are going to work together to get you "out of your box" and "TRUST ME" in my choices of fabric for you.  I was an art major in school and have been working with colors for nearly 50 years.  I will be very careful with my choices and I promise - if you just give it a chance, you will see how great it looks on the finished project.

Now, in addition to this August project you will also receive another one - smaller and so much fun to make.  Take a peak.... so sweet!  "I have wings that lift up on both sides and here is where I will keep your needles tucked away all tidy and neat!"

Plus there will be other sweet surprises in your package along with the patterns and instructions.  We'll also have demo's, teaching videos, suggestions as to where you can buy notions (if not available at your local quilt shop) and more.  Remember, this is YOUR club - have fun!  Here is the link to the registration form on our website.  If you need me to send it to you directly, email  oldgreencupboard@aol.com

So... are you ready to stitch with me?  Sign up today!  I'm only taking 50 members!

BAAA WOOL CLUB UPDATE & T-SHIRT!!

HI ALL!  I'm sure you've seen some of my postings for the BAAA WOOL CLUB that will kick off on August 1... right?  If not... here are a few photos (teasers) so you get the feel of the program and the type of "look" you will be working with~!

Here is one.... this is an Armchair Cozy!  This project will be one of your favorites... I'm sure of it!  PLUS... we will have a 'special' method of picking fabrics for each one!

The center flower is a pin cushion. This is also the center of the cozy that sits on the arm of the chair.

Two pockets!

A sweet woolie bird on one of the pockets.

Here are three heart 'ornies' that are fast and fun to make.  They look adorable all in a rustic, antique, primitive bowl and/or basket.

Ticking, wool and trim

Textured fabric, embroidery and trim

Textured fabric and wool pennies!

This little fellow is attached to a 'basket' used on your side sewing table to hold your thread, needles, scissors, etc.

One of my favorite projects.... a long clutch piece that can hold your rotary cutter, scissors,glasses, writing instruments, wool hooking tools.... so darn cute!

I am sew sweet.... under my wings  I will keep your needles safe and all in one place!

Plus... I will have videos showing you how to do special sewing techniques, fun little contests, puzzles, recipes, Facebook page, and MORE!  Extra projects will be available for each of you to work on if you are interested - they will be on the website.  

The Club gives  you each exclusive designs/kits with your yearly membership - which includes your postage for all kits.

Take a look at this!  I've designed a T-shirt for you.... 

BAAA WOOL CLUB logo (small)

BAAA WOOL CLUB logo (large)

When I showed the logo to my hubby.... he asked... why is the sheep wearing a crown?  My answer - She's the Queen of the Wool!  

I've been in Texas for three weeks and now headed backs to Florida.  I'm hoping you've had time to complete your registration form and mail to me.  Once I have you registered, I will email the entire group and give you more details!

Hope to chat with you soon!
