Sterling inspired me to do the same, and she was kind enough to let me jump on her Instagram hashtag bandwagon (#spreadsomechristmascheergiveaway). If you\’d like to enter, please leave a comment below telling us your favorite way to spread some Christmas cheer. If you are on Instagram, you can also enter there. Yep, two chances to win.
Well, after I got on the bandwagon, I realized I needed to make up my gift . . . and quick! This weekend I rummaged through my patterns and knew immediately what I wanted to make: the small \”Feed Sack Bag\” pattern from Fig Tree & Company. I chose red, green, black and cream fabrics to give it a holiday feel, but none of the fabrics have a Christmas design. So if these are your colors, you could use it all year long. I think it would make a great Christmas card holder! It would also be a handy place to store trims, ribbons and other sewing doo dads.

| Choosing the fabrics was so fun–mostly Fig Tree with a couple others thrown in. |
 |
| A little straight line quilting to add dimension. Moda\’s Cross Weave in Graphite makes a nice neutral for the bottom and handles! |
 |
| I did get a little nervous on this step. No turning back now! |
 |
| The finished bag is a little honey! How can I give him away? |
 |
| Don\’t you just love that little bit of math on graph paper? If someone knows what that line is, please comment below! |
Comments are open through 5:00 pm (CST) on Wednesday, December 9. (Don\’t forget that you can also enter on Instagram to double your chance.) That evening, I will do a random draw and announce the winner.
Thanks so much for reading my blog today. Good luck to all!
