I love to work with wool! I donโ€™t know if I have a favorite; each project is my favorite at the time. Haha! I enjoy working with wool because itโ€™s so forgiving, and itโ€™s a nice project to have handy to stitch while watching The Good Wife (that show is addictive). Your wools are so nice! I just might have to take advantage of this sale โ€” my stash is getting low!!

Well for me, it started while visiting my Mom in Illinois about 6yrs ago I think! I spotted a new quilt shop by Momโ€™s and having taken hand quilting back in 1980 and never pursuing further, you know first child etc. it sparked my interest. I was in there exploring you might say, for quite awhile. I chatted and asked questions trying to update my learning. But quickly fell in love with a sample , of your snowman pin cushion made with wool embroidered. I asked the woman how hard it was to learn embroidery, oh not hard! Then next question how long to make that pincushion? Of course, she did it in one day! Well ok, I expect longer for me. So I purchased the pattern, wool, Valdani thread, needles and embroidery chart! My idea was to make a few for Xmas gifts. Well, everyone received their cute pincushions that year! To be exact I had made 3, I was so proud I had accomplished my new skill! So the story goes, that was it for me ! I am a huge wool embroidery fan . I have even expanded my friends down in Texas to this skill. You know wool/embroidery. was not down here back then So I was stock piling from your shop patterns, and wool from the web. Of course my favorite project is still the snowman!

You have the best wool selection around!

I have made several wool projects and love working with it. It is so forgiving, so it is a great introduction to hand applique. Iโ€™m not sure I have a favorite wool project, but I sure like your log cabin sewing machine pincushion and have made more than one of them!

    Lisa, I just finished frosting my Christmas sugar cookies! (When I was cutting out the stars, I thought of you since I know that you make star cookies every year.) Make them every year, but I must admit that each year the job seems a bit more overwhelming for me–but I will continue to do it because my family looks forward to them. Decorating them with colored sprinkles is my favored choice–but–my little grandchildren like the ones that I decorate with food-safe “markers”! My littlest grandson refers to them as the ones that I “write on”. I also make the chocolate cake log every year; it is delicious but takes quite a bit of time–but it is something that my family expects to have at our house–so I enjoy making it!!

    Trying out a new recipe this year for gingerbread cookies! I found the cutest gingerbread man cookie cutter when I went to Bulk Foods in Greenville, WI last month and a really good recipe online that I just have to try! The other thing that I always make is Bun Bar candy. Think triple layer fudge with peanuts, melted butterscotch & chocolate chips and a pound of powdered sugar with some other yummy ingredients! My recipe makes a cake pan 9″ x 13″ full of this awesome goodness!!!

    I also do sugar cookies, my grandmother’s lemon wafers, spritz cookies and peanut blossoms. And then there’s my husband’s grandmother’s fruitcake. I know, I know, but it’s not Christmas for him without it. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love the tins! I’m not a very good baker so instead, I make ornaments. I make a list of everyone that I’d give cookies too and make a small package of ornaments instead! There’s soooo many cute, inexpensive ornament ideas out there and they’re super fun to make!

    Hi Lisa,
    Tins are my thing, I have a tin addiction, my friends bring them to me. I can never have enough.
    These would be an awesome and very useful addition to my collection, the sizes are perfect for quilters. I would show them off proudly at quilty events and retreats. I would really love a set of these tins! Good for tiny hexies, too!

    I love making pies and cakes for Christmas dinner. Usually make finger foods for work but not this year. I have been very busy quilting. I love these little tins. I gave the small one to quilting buddies and received the large one as a gift, but would love to have more as they are very useful and cute.

    I bake, and bake, and bake! Nut roll..my grandma’s recipe from Slovakia! Cut out cookies, peanut butter kiss cookies, thumbprint, Swedish (snow balls) candy cane and the old standby Chocolate Chip cookies. Then, on to home made chicken soup, mushroom soup and Bobalki (Slovak) little pcs of bread with honey and poppy seed.

    I could use the little tins to stash needles, thread and quilt clips for when I take sewing for my day with mom! The little tin could be used as a pill box!

    I make a yummy butter “gun” cookie. My boys called them gun because we used an electric cookie dispenser that had several different shapes and it reminded them of a gun, since you pulled the trigger to have the dough come out. They are now 29 and 31 and still call the gun cookies. My husband makes my mother’s molasses crinkle cookies. After she could no longer make them, he took over since those are one of his favorites and hers as well. She has been gone for almost 10 years and he still makes them. I use to make several kinds, but these are favorites so that is what is made.

    The tins are so cute! I make rum soaked fruit cakes, mini banana breads (with chocolate chips and walnuts in them!), fudge with walnuts and raisins, biscotti, coconut meringues, date chews…today I am making cinnamon sugared almonds!

  30. Quilting In The Country Avatar

    Those are the nicest tins ever, I can thing of a few things I can put in those. Especially when I am doing hand piecing. I don’t make any extra goodies at Christmas, but my boys make sure that no matter who’s house we go to for Christmas or Christmas eve dinner, that it is my job to make the mashed potatoes. I typically make about 10 pounds of mashed potatoes or real close to it because they all have to have their share to take home too. 10 pounds of mashed potatoes takes about 3-4 pounds of bacon, at least a pound of butter, and 2 or 3 packages of cream cheese. The boys will then have left over mashed potatoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner until they are gone.

    Mom’s recipe peanut butter fudge, chocolate fudge, orange cake with orange butter cream icing, coconut cake with coconut butter cream icing (fresh oranges and coconut hand grated of course), and devils (does anyone call it that still LOL) food cake with white marshmallow icing. This is what Mom did so I continue the tradition now she is gone using her recipes. Salty – cheese balls of course. Merry Christmas and thanks for a chance at these fun tins.

    For Christmas I’m usually asked to make caramel corn and chex mix. I don’t bake many cookies anymore but usually try to get a batch or two of cut-outs made. I used to make lots of candies but have given that up. Thought I’d try a batch of caramels and some fudge this year as I know the grandkids will enjoy them! The little tins are really cute. I’m always looking for little boxes for storing things in my sewing room! Never thought of using them for carrying chocolates in my purse though!

    I make tons of cookies, as I live with the Cookie Monster. My daughter and I bake dozens upon dozens of cookies. Everyone always asks” Are we getting cookies this year”. We usually do our favorites, and every year find some new to try. We love Rainbow Cookies, that I think mostly people from the north would know. They are three layers of almond paste cookie, with fruit in the middle layers, and then topped with chocolate. They are Yummy, yummy. Only make them once a year. For the past few years I now make a Pumpkin Roll, thanks to the receipe that came from the Larson home. Mr.Larson, not the Stacey we know. Her husband is the cook in that house. We do have a double oven, and it surely comes in handy this time of year.
    Hope you have a great holiday, and feel well

    I always make lefse for Christmas. The cookies may or may not get done, but the lefse is a must. My grandmother used to make it on an old washing machine lid, or on a wood-burning stove. My dad and mom made it on a stovetop griddle, but later graduated to a real lefse griddle. I have carried on that tradition. It just would not be Christmas without lefse. We do not eat it with sugar. For us, it is something to eat with our meals, or dip in gravy. Sometimes, we use it for a sandwich instead of bread. Other times, it is just a real treat. I guess I enjoy celebrating my Norwegian heritage.

    For years I have made Scottish Shortbread from a recipe passed down from my Mother’s girlfriend’s Mom who came from Scotland. Only three ingredients but they take an hour to bake per batch. To get them that rectangle shape, I cut them with a pizza cutter and my quilting rulers. It makes my sewing friends chuckle! Each year my son and I bake 50 batches. That’s 3000+ bars to package for family, friends and co-workers. It’s kind of become a Smith family tradition for the last 30 years.

    I make pecan sandies, spritz, cut outs. I don’t make as much candy as I used to, but my late mother in law made the best caramels. When my sister and I were little girls, Mom would make cut out cookies.
    We would help her frost them and they would be hung on the tree. We didn’t have a lot of ornaments, but our tree was always beautiful.

    I have made ginger molasses cookies and peanut butter cookies. Plain and simple, but it took some work to do them gluten free this year to accommodate family dietary needs. They came out great!
    Lisa, you will understand what kind of circumstance we are living in this holiday season; we are adding 1000 square feet onto our home as my mom (aged 86) moved in. I’m getting a studio out of it, but right now, all of Mom’s things are in boxes all over the house, the living room and dining room are unusable, the kitchen has boxes stacked up (her kitchen goodies), more in the basement…. Needless to say, no room for a tree so it really doesn’t feel like Christmas at all. Cookies are all I’ve done special. You know I could use all manner of organizers for my new sewing space, so those tins look great to me!

I also make licorice caramels, and I’m still experimenting with Rum caramels. I also make “white trash” or “Christmas Crack” . It’s crispix cereal, cheerios, pretzels, macadamia nuts, cashews all coated with white chocolate and some red and green sprinkles. Once you start munching you can’t stop. Some years I make cinnamon rolls. But I am yearning for some sugar cookies with lots of frosting and sprinkles.

    Two weeks before Christmas my two daughters and I have a Christmas goodies day. We make chocolate fudge, sugar cookies, buckeyes, chocolate covered pretzel rods, Oreos dipped in white chocolate, Ritz crackers with peanut butter dipped in white chocolate, peanut clusters, chocolate covered raisins, popcorn drizzled with chocolate and coconut bon-bons (recipe my Mom got in the 1960’s and have been using it every Christmas since then). We give some of the goodies to colleagues and then we “graze” on the rest of it.

    I just made brownies tonight….not a specialty cookie for Christmas, but its chocolate and oh so yummy to add a choice to all the Christmas cookies. Also a neighbor passed along a bag of currants to my daughter to make cookies. I’ve never seen currants! I expected them to be bigger than raisins. no, much smaller. So we’re looking forward to making a new cookie this year.

    There is one other tradition I have, and that is making something homemade for all my employees for Christmas. Years ago I started with 8 employees, and now I am up to 13. It gets more challenging to find something to make that is as good as the year before. I even have made a few quilting projects for my staff, and PG patterns have come in handy. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I love to make fudge , cookies and things I call gifts of good taste! These include hot coco mix, jars filled with ingredients to make a batch of cookies, jelly when berries are in season and other treats like mixes made with cereal, peanuts and white chocolate. Iโ€™ve also made turtle pretzel rods which are especially yummy. People love to get a cute lunch bag decorated with a stencil and a ribbon closure or a mason jar filled with a homemade treat. They are great gifts which donโ€™t cost a lot and the best part is they are a consumable. I wonder how many teachers have a million apple ornaments!! Lisa, I too want to give caramels a try. I bet some homemade cocoa mix would be appreciated in one of those cute snowman mugs! Iโ€™d love the recipe for those cute star cookies. You should post it on the blog. Merry Christmas to all.

    I have to admit that my husband does most of the baking in our house. He makes the best brownies and cookies. My contribution is clean up.

    I love baking goodies with my adult kids when they come in to town. We don’t have particular treats we make but we try to look for new things to try. Cinnamon rolls are pretty much the only guaranteed thing we make. Baking just brings that warm and cozy Christmas feeling and it’s a nice thing to do together and then deliver some to friends to make their day too.

    I make some amazing carmels: not my recipe, but if you want a really good and easy one, you can email me! And I usually do chocolate dipped nuts, and last year I made a white chocolate and chopped dried apricot candy: it turned out great too. Too many good things this time of year!!

    I make divinity, fudge, cranberry bread, biscochitos, sugar cookies (for frosting), maple thumbprints, snowballs, snicker doodles, and pecan pie tarts. We don’t eat to many sweets during the year but for Christmas I get to enjoy my baking and now I get to share the baking with my 5 yr old grand daughter and 4 yr old grandson all while listening to Christmas music and taking a few breaks to do a little dance with them. I am a Blessed grandma! Happy Holidays to everyone.

    I make caramels and chex mix!! It is funny how we have started the traditions of certain foods for each holiday. Another thing that my kids like to have for each holiday is scalloped potatoes loaded with velvetta cheese sauce. One year I did not make them and that will never happen again!!

    This year I made home made vanilla – something different to share with my family and friends. Also made my own hot chocolate mix and packaged up in Christmas mugs with marshmallows and a candy cane. Lastly, sugared pecans – yum! Wonderful hostess gifts, or for those special people in your life ๐Ÿ™‚ Merry Christmas, Lisa!

    I spend an entire weekend baking for the Christmas. May seven different cookies, fudge, toffee (yummy), Always do what we call Nuts N Bolts (chex mix) and Crispix Mix. Carmel coated with honey roasted nuts. Made a double batch of this because my husband ate one batch himself. Thanks for the chance to win. Love your 12 days of Christmas.

    I make an assortment of cookies for the Christmas season. A must is my paternal Grandmother’s Cut out cookies with a special ingredient of sour cream and another must is my maternal Grandmother’s Scottish Shortbread cookies. Along with these two I make Date Filled, Chocolate Crinkles, Peanut Butter Kiss, Chewy Molasses, and most recently Swedish Kola Kokar cookies. I also make Peanut Butter filled Ritz crackers dipped in chocolate, pretzels dipped in Almond bark, and this year I tried a Sugared and Spiced Pecans that were divine.

    Hi! Our family has got a sweet tooth..,grandma’s favorite is walnut fudge and the kids love the fudge where the marshmallows don’t get melted but chocolate peanut butter mixture goes all around and hardens. I love gingerbread and peanut better with kisses in the middle. My daughter is home from college and we are baking today!!!

    This year has been an especially busy Christmas season, so baking and making has fallen by the wayside. I did make my toasted pecan clusters and did 2 other quick and easy treats (rolos on pretzels topped with a pecan and cream cheese bites) that were hits. I have not been able to get in my sewing room much either. Suffering from withdrawal! Thanks for all your giveaways, but especially I give thanks for you and your creative talents. Take care of yourself and enjoy this wonderful time with your grandson.

    Merry Christmas from OHIO… and every year I make Buckey’s My husband and kids all love them and for some reason, I only make at Christmas time… They are peanut butter chocolate coved candy that looks like a Buckeye…

    My family insists that I bring the pecan pie(s), fudge and rum balls. Occasionally I also make brownies, but my niece has gotten pretty good with those (my recipe) so I’m off the hook on that one. Our buffet table is filled full with my sister’s copper pennies, my SIL’s twice baked potatoes and an incredible mac & cheese. I’ve asked for the recipe but she says it will go with her to her grave. PLEASE, if someone asks for the recipe, share it-it’s a compliment. I hate to think how many family recipes have been lost because some aunt didn’t want to share.

    I bake less than I used too, but cranberry white chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are a new favorite at our house.. What is do make every year is a pillowcase for each of my eight grandchildren. I tailor it to their current interest and use as a Santa sack for their gifts. Saves a lot of wrapping time and they love finding their pillowcase among the pile.

    Nothing fancy from the oven here but I have made a basic cookie with holiday M & M’s to pack in boxes for shut-
    ins from our church. I also made fabric baskets for my small quilt group & added some wonder clips for them to test.

    I put together layers of beans and spices in quart jars to give to a few neighbors and I almost always make chocolate chip cookies. Cute tins. Always handy

    I love cookies but they never look like yours do!! I make an assembly line of bowls with all of the ingredients for lasagna. I get disposable aluminum pans then start filling them with sauce.. (my secret Ingredient is sugar in the sauce!)…cheese.etc. I give the gift of supper to a few busy families that are so kind to us all year long. They can bake it when they need a break! People that work so hard are always thankful for supper so it seems to work ok.

    I make pecan tarts, peanut blossoms, white chocolate chip cookies with Macadamia nuts, and French cookies. Now to do some dusting. P.S. we all need extra storage. Thank you for all the needful things!

    It’s been a tradition for a long time for the “girls” in the family to spend a weekend together making candy and cookies. We slumber party at “home” and get a lot done! Working together makes it seem like less work. We may even take a break and watch a movie or two. Great times and great memories!!
