Tickled Pink- February 2022 Blog Hop Sign-Ups

  Today I am happy to announce a new stitching blog hop.

What is a Blog Hop?

It's like a "show and tell" online.

Our blog hops feature sewing and quilting and are like joining a quilt guild without leaving home.  Once the theme (challenge) is presented we set to work sewing.

We inspire each other with projects, tutorials, or patterns.

Anyone can follow along.

There are about 2 months to sew something and join in on the fun.  

It's another easy theme that should have you thinking of lots of things you could make.

The Challenge: 

Create something with the color pink in it somewhere.

It's all about pink or being tickled (if you want) LOL

It's the month of love so really anything will do that tickle's us pink.

The theme is really your own interpretation, surprise us!

The Rules:  

Post on your assigned day at 12:00 am Eastern time.

Have a giveaway or don't have a giveaway. It's totally optional!

Visit everyone's blog on the list and leave a sweet comment. Make friends!!!!

Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange - Diamond Gnome Quilt Block and Pecan Cookie Bars

Welcome to 

Creatin' in the Sticks!

I'm excited to kick off the

Virtual Cookie Exchange and Blog Hop

where bloggers are sharing Christmas cookies recipes, traditions, 

and/or 

sewing projects.

Thank you, Carol, for including me!

Merry Christmas!

It's been a crazy year and I think we are all ready to start a new one.

Then Christmas comes along and things seem a little happier and brighter.

This gnome was supposed to be a larger project, but you know, life...

The block would be so cute in a quilt, but he is happy to be a

cheerful companion in the kitchen for me.

Click HERE if you would like to purchase the 7" finished 

Diamond Gnome Quilt Block Pattern.

But, maybe you came for the virtual cookies.

These are quick and easy Pecan Cookie Bars.

Like the pie without the goo and sooooo good.

If you want more cookie recipes, you are in luck.

FABRIC MINI QUILT CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS WITH HEATNBOND INTERFACING

 It's Christmas ornament week over at Thermoweb
and
I have a fun tutorial on their blog

to make

Fabric Mini Quilt Christmas Ornaments.

These fabric Christmas ornaments are so fun to create.  Once you find the right fabrics, they go together in a snap.

This idea will work with any of your favorite Christmas fabrics! 

 I chose Paintbrush Studio Fabric’s Handmaid Holiday collection to make these – they are perfect for these mini quilt ornaments.  

Use this idea and create enough ornaments for a tree and gifts for all your friends too!

Pick up these Thermoweb products:

HeatnBond Fusible Fleece  

HeatnBond Craft Extra Firm Fusible Interfacing

Fabric Fuse Liquid Adhesive

and

1 Flat Fat Stack of PBS Handmade Holiday fabrics

to make all of these

 Mini Quilt Christmas Ornaments

and more in one day!

I'm ready to start a little Christmas cheer!

Hop-inspired Mug Rugs - No Ring November Blog Hop and Giveaway

  Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks 
and
my day - the final day for the No Ring November Mug Rug Blog Hop.

To all that participated or commented -

Thank you so much!

My head is swimming with all kinds of ideas

and I can't wait to try some new things.

But first, it's my day to show my

Hop-inspired Mug Rugs.

I enjoy hosting blog hop events so much!

Joan from Moosestash Quilting, Carol from Just Let Me Quilt, 

and I, Carla from Creatin' in the Sticks

take turns hosting the blog hops and themes/challenges.

We have been working together to plan next year's hops.

Today I am sharing mug rugs that I have made in preparation for upcoming blog hops.

Mug Rugs are great little practice pieces for the future.

First, there is one more blog hop this year.

Carol's annual Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange.

This Christmas Gnome was paper pieced and I think he will be great in a larger project.

I can't wait to show it, but that will have to wait until the 

Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange Blog Hop.

Joan at MooseStash Quilting 

is announcing sign-ups for the Polar Bear Plunge Blog Hop today!!!

Bears, Blue, or anything cold.  That is the challenge.

I think this mug rug fits that bill.

Joan has all the details for the hop on her blog.

I will be hosting February's blog hop.

I'm just sharing the theme/challenge.

No need to worry about sign-ups yet, we will do that 2 months before the hop.

It's all about pink or being tickled (if you want) LOL

I'm going to try to perfect some pink feathers as I practiced on this mug rug.

Carol at Just Let Me Quilt is hosting March's blog hop.

Once again, I'm just sharing the theme/challenge.

No need to worry about sign-ups yet, we will do that 2 months before the hop.

It's all about my favorite block: the hourglass block.

This is one idea I have.  

Now you have a little info about what we have planned for the first 3 months of the year.

I had so much fun making little quilts (mug rugs), this may be something to do for every hop.

We are celebrating mug rugs with a blog hop

and

I've invited my blogging friends to
stitch little works of art! 

I'm sharing my day with these bloggers:
