Christmas in July

It sure doesn't feel like Christmas here, but I'm working on a Christmas quilt anyway.

My Lincoln Schnibble is a work in progress with a few different lines of Christmas fabric involved.

 Later in the week we're going to watch the movie Elf like we do each summer, and make some Christmas cookies too, maybe Potato Chip Cookies.

At Christmas every year my boys ask for Potato Chip Cookies.

 Now that I think about it, making them in July would be appropriate too.  The ingredients are going on my grocery list right now!

Just a fun, silly thing to do when it gets so hot.

This quilt will fit right in!

  

What do you think about a name for this one? 

While I sew, I'm tossing around some ideas.  

Maybe "Christmas at the White House", or the name I like even better "A Log Cabin Christmas".

  Didn't Lincoln live in a log cabin?  Isn't that how the song goes?

And these blocks are similar to log cabin blocks. Hmm..............

Well, the Friday Night Sew-In is sure coming at us fast!

Wendy from Sugar Lane Quilts is assisting Heidi with the sew-in for a few months, so you can find the sign up HERE.

I'm looking forward to an evening of sewing, snacks and probably pizza too!  That will keep my boys busy.

Not the sewing I guess, but the snacks and pizza will certainly help.

It'll be great excuse to take the evening off and work on my Lincoln Schnibble.

I hope you make plans to put some things aside on Friday and get sewing!
