Holiday Projects 2009

Here is a recap of the projects from last year: You can find links to all the tutorials on the tutorial page.

And start after Thanksgiving Holiday Projects 2010 will be starting!

Project #9- Table Topper

You can download the pdf here:Table Topper

I included 3 options with using more prints and it would also make a great placemat!

Got a project done today...

Here is a little peak at the tutorial I am hoping to get on the blog tomorrow...

inspired by this color palette (i added a sage in at the last second)

-I have also been working on the illustrations for the blog for the month of February. I am hoping to turn the illustrations from the banners and backgrounds into a 2011 calendar. 

-I have also plotted out a couple of valentine's projects that I will be sharing in the next week or so

-I am working on the final details for a women's top tutorial for next week

I would love to know what are you working on?

Project #8 Doll Quilt with Hexagons

Here is a quick little doll quilt- I put it together in a couple of hours- you can download it here: Doll Quilt with Hexagon

Project #7 Santa Hat Coasters

Project #6 Scrappy Stocking

A really quick little stocking that works great as a last minute decoration or a fun way to top a present.

I hope you are enjoying all of the projects; there are still 4 more coming and they make some great last minute gifts for you or some lucky recipient!

In other fun holiday stuff: I am working on one of my holiday goals- those fancy iced sugar cookies. I am determined, so the mission begins today. Don't worry, I will take plenty of photos to share with you.

Project #5 Fabric Gift Tags

This one is a really fast project that is a great way to use up scraps!

Download it here:Project #5- Fabric Gift Tags

I have extended Holiday Projects 2009 namely because I fell behind. I will have them all up by the end of the week, as long as Xavier  let's me get some stuff done. ;) 

Project #4- Xavier's Holiday Lounge Pants

These are not just for boys, but for girls, too. Xavier loves them and I think that they look really comfy. The pants are a wide leg and super fast to put together. These are not intended for sleepwear, just to lounge around the house in.

As a side note: if you notice anything that needs to be corrected with the patterns or any suggestions leave me a comment or email me at kzjostudio@yahoo.com I want to be able to provide awesome tutorials and in the future patterns your input would be awesome.

Okay, I love Top Chef and I am so excited that Michael won. He was my pick to win and my favorite from the season! I am going to try and post another tutorial tonight, wish me luck!

Project #3-Gift Card Holders

"Jordan" Gift Card Holder

"Catalina" Gift Card Holder

Okay, so this is probably one of my favorite projects that I have come up with for the Holiday Projects 2009, only because you can reuse them for a mini wallet or to hold business cards. I am hoping to make on out of suede or leather and it would be very chic. By changing the fabric, it can be a year round gift or project.  Also, they are super fast to make and don't require much more than some fabric and a little interfacing.

Yesterday, I consumed one of these:

while working on tutorials, needless to say I am taking a break from pop for quite awhile...
then xavier helped me get ready for the holiday party that my local quilt guild was having.
Here we are:

and here I am heading out to the party

The holiday party was lots of fun and the guest speaker was very interesting to listen to.
All in all a great night...

Okay, Xavier is finally taking his nap, I am going to try and get some more tutorials done before he wakes up.
