Christmas in July?

Okay, I know what you’re thinking… it’s July - do we really have to think about Christmas?
After all, it’s hot and sunny outside, there are vacations to enjoy, barbeques to host, tall, icy drinks - why on earth would you want to think about heading to your studio to work on Christmas stuff?
Well… hear me out for a minute!
Do you remember last December?
Was it busy for you?
I know I was running around wishing I had an extra pair of hands :-)
So, I’m extending a new challenge for the month of July - start working on some of those Christmas presents! Is there someone that you’d like to make a cross-stitch sampler for? How about a yo-yo quilt? Or does your significant other want something special from your studio?
Start brainstorming and we’ll see if this December is easier!
