The Nutcracker Christmas Row and a Giveaway

Marian at Seams to Be Sew decided that this year's 
row along would have a Christmas theme.
Christmas time is one of my favorite times of the year.
So of course, I had to join in.
Go to her blog to get all the info about
this hop and giveaways HERE.

I first thought to do the 12 days of Christmas, 
but then was totally unsure I 
could fit all of the characters in one row.
Then, I thought of my children's love
for anything Nutcracker, so 
here is my take on it.




The row is 12 1/2" x 36 1/2".
It is a combination of piecing and applique.
For any applique project, I always use
HeatnBond Lite, which you can purchase 
many supplies here.



A great sponsor of this hop was 
Northcott fabrics.  They have such a beautiful
selection of blender fabrics.
The face, boots, hair, and cheeks are all
from the TOSCANA Collection.

The rest of the fabrics are from
my giant stash that I am trying to make 
a lot smaller.

If you would like a copy of the 
pattern, please visit my Craftsy Page.
It will be free of charge until September 18th.
At that time, there will be a small fee.


And now how about a giveaway, 
a beautiful bundle of fabrics from Michael Miller.
Remember, that the winner is responsible
for the shipping. 
Please read any rules at Seams to be Sew

a Rafflecopter giveaway


Please go and visit all of the 
blogs that are also showing off their rows today.
