Christmas in July

many quilt shops at this time of year hold 'Christmas in July' events. I taught a fun group of friends this Christmas placemat at a local shop.

is it too early to think of Christmas?

not if you are a quilter, knitter, sewer or somebody that likes to make personal gifts or items for your home.
I love these placemats based on tumbling block pattern. The Christmas cracker doesn't bang but could hold a silly paper hat and a small gift.
