Hello friends, Even though it is still early November, us makers need a little bit more time to get organized for the holiday season. So today I thought I would share these cute holiday gifts and ideas so that you may start working away on them at your leisure and be ready in plenty of time to relax and enjoy the holidays :). Please note that some of these ideas/patterns/gifts are FREE and others are paid, and also know that I am an affiliate with some of these companies and I will receive a small stipend if you decide to purchase through one of my links ( the money I receive goes right back into Farmhouse Quilts in the form of giveaways AND providing free content for you here on the blog and in the Facebook group~ thanks so much for your support!). Alright, here we go! Up first are these adorable felt ornaments! These would look cute tied on a present as well as hanging in a tree, don't you think? You can find the turorial right here (click). This Christmas garland is so cute, and would be so simple to make using the Accuquilt Pennants die( click). Not only does the die makes this half oval shape, it also does triangles and pennants! If you have some wool or fleece lying around, it would be pretty easy to make one of these giant pillows! Use a big sheet of newsprint, fold it in half and draw a half tree shape, cut out, pin to 2 layers of fabric, sew around pattern, cut out, stuff, and sew closed! I think this is such a fun idea: Make a small quilt block, attach a pretty ribbon, and you have a perfect little tree ornament! Wouldn't it be fun to have a themed quilting TREE, filled with all kinds of little quilt blocks?? If you would like a nice collection of various holiday projects, I want to draw your attention to this publication ( click) It contains all sorts of projects, and you can choose the time AND skill level that best fits you! You can choose to order a print or a downloadable version, which is handy if you want to start making right away! For those of you who enjoy embroidery, I am highly recommending this book by Gail Pan( click). It is filled with adorable embroideries and projects and you are sure to find some fun new ideas! For those of you would like to make some items for your homes that can hang around for longer than December, I thought you might like this emboidery book by Robin Kingsley! It features adorable snowmen and a nice variety of projects as well. You can click here for the link ( click). If you need or would like to add a new tree skirt this year, I found this video with free pattern that you can use! She makes it seem pretty easy, and the end result is gorgeous! Click here for that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY67uWgh-yQ&t=4s If you are in need of some fabric to make some of these projects, Annie's is having some great fabric bundle sales! You can check those out in this link here ( click). And finally, no holidays are complete without some fun recipes and ideas, so I want to share my personal Pinterest board dedicated to recipes...recipes for food, but you will also find some candle and soap recipes, because you might just *need* to make some of those too, right? Here is the link to that page: https://www.pinterest.com/myfarmhousequilts/favorite-recipes/ There you have it! I hope you find some fun and new ideas in my list that you want to try out.

Loving my latest creation! This adorable heart shaped pillow is made from homespun cotton . Pillow is handmade and measures approximately 13.5 inches at widest point by 10 inches high. Aged fabric is from a cinnamon & coffee based wash. Pillows are grungy! Spots, streaks, etc are an expected feature! The pillow in picture is shown as an example. have added some hand torn, "aged" floral cotton for stars and bow and topped with a little rusty bell! Entire pillow has been clipped to create a ragged effect! If you're looking for a perfect looking finish, than this probably isn't what you want~ each one is unique and no two will be identical as they are handmade.My items are all handmade, please allow for slight imperfections. If you order two of the same items, they might vary slightly in shape/size. ****Fabric colors may be darker or lighter than photos, depending on how each piece of fabric accepts the coffee stain! ****Threads and frays are part of design. Please use caution when placing this pillow around toddlers as there is a small rusty bell on each pillow~ * Ready for your Memorial Day, Flag Day, Voting, 4th of July, Labor Day Veterans Day holidays * Perfect for your Prim or Country design! * Pillow shipped in mailer bag to keep shipping at minimum.

Have you ever seen a magnified version of a snowflake? There are so pretty that it is difficult to believe that each of the snowflakes have a distinct pattern all their own and that too naturally. They form a delicate pattern, which may remind you of the kind of patterns that are formed when you look through a kaleidoscope, a small toy made cleverly using mirrors. If you have not seen one, we suggest that you google it to see what we mean. However, we are not going to be talking about the kind of designs one can see via the kaleidoscope but the formations that icy crystals have as they fall down the skies in the form of snowflakes. Since paper is an easy medium in terms of finding the raw material and working with, it makes sense to use paper to make snowflakes. After all, we are all used to making attractive ornaments from paper during the festive season and for other occasions. Plus, the advantage here is that you can use simple and plain paper to emulate the pristine look that snowflakes have.

It's almost that delicious month of November, so we decide to bring a little autumnal magic and a little of the festive season to this month's craft kit! If you've seen our recent moodboard, you’ll have noticed we’re taking inspiration from Gathering Together for this month's limited edition kit (posted mid-November 2019) - whether that's gathering leaves, or gathering your favourite people. We're bringing both together in this month's project - taking inspiration from our favourite winter leaves and berries to create 12 linocut printed greetings / Christmas cards to post to your favourite human beings.
These sidewalk chalk ideas are so awesome! Seriously, some people so creative!? There are so many fun ideas and so many great photo opportunities! I wish we had an asphalt driveway so we could try more of these out at home! Do you get a mental block when you have a blank canvas in front of you? And your kids are saying, 'Draw something! Draw something!' - I usually end up drawing a flower, or sometimes a rainbow, but then I'm stumped. I feel the same way with a giant blank driveway and sidewalk chalk, except it's so much worse! What
