I still can't really express how wonderful, generous and giving my friends are. I sent the word out to a group of designers asking if the would help me make my Holiday Extravaganza special.. and they did!
I am a huge fan girl (and friend) of Anne Sutton's applique quilts. They speak to my heart. They often have a theme, she had delightful characters on them that are easy to do and they are fun! I've made a few and I'm busy thinking about doing her pumpkinville because it makes me smile!
I interviewed Anne on May 26, 2011 click here to listen! She shares about her work style and you even hear someone jump into our chat to day hello as I interviewed her at the trade show! Plus I tease Anne all the time about being the queen of PINK... wonder if I can do a pin pumpkinville in her honor?
Isn't this the BEST Christmas quilt?

These Holiday Giveaway posts are still open for comments...with 3 more giveaways planned before the end of the year, so come visit me every day!












My cats don't get holiday treats...I just spoil them year-round! I'm thinking of getting them a tall climbing cat tree, though, when I think of a place to put it!
p.s. I love the pattern and colors on the quilt.

I bought each of my cats a small blanket which I thought would be good in their beds to keep them warm however, they now won't get into the beds now. So I have taken the blankets out.

My grand pup is quite spoiled! He gets animal toys, used to get stuffed but he plays so rough with his "pets" that we had to go stuff less this year!

My dog's favorite toy is his Lambchop, which is a little stuffed lamb. He carries it everywhere. I think I'll buy another one because he'll be upset when this toy wears out. A late Christmas gift?

I purchase organic catnip which I then sew into bags for my in-laws kitties to play with - those get mailed from Maine to Georgia every year. I usually make little Christmas stockings for all my family and friend's dogs and fill then with dog treats. The stockings are always made out of dog print fabric.

Squeaky toys! My daughter's corgi will drive you crazy until he can kill the squeaker.

I go through the toy bin and take out the old chewed and worn toys and replace them with new. I also see that Bella has a new fleece coat as she is only 6 pounds and the WI winters are pretty cold. A bag of treats from a local dog bone bakery is also a gift that she looks forward to.

the little ones all deserve the favorite of their treats, Missy Willow, the grandcat, gets a new pouch of her Temptations chicken bites for oral hygiene( & yes, I am a dental asst!)
Then the niece, Maggie Mae, gets herself a new toy to add to the collection. This Llasa Apso loves her Uncle Rod "toy" best & always loves to come visit!

Toby always get some doggy treats which he will share with his buddies River and Beri when they come to visit. This year he also got a bubbling water dish. He has his own stocking which will have a special doggy treat.

Treats, treats and more treats, plus a new toy. It looks like a 4 year old lives in my house, but it's just my adorable standard poodle.

This year we gave Kitty a new bed to go on the desk by the window so she can watch the birds and squrrles at the feeder and more toys.

I buy my dogs gifts for Christmas as well as my niece dog (Papillon) named Taz.
My inside Scottie (LIZA)not only gets gifts, treats, toys etc, but she loves getting them out of the gift sack as well.
If you bring any sack into the house she thinks you brought her something to eat or play with. Head first she dives in the sack and is most disappointed if there are no treats or gifts for her

I buy toys and dog treats for my grand childrens dogs. That is 3 separate homes. I buy toys and treats for my 2 dogs and my parrots also get treats and new toys. The blue and gold mac caws toys are expensive, but birds need toys also.

Bentley, my granddog, always gets some special treats and a new toy. They are wrapped up and he gets excited when we start to take the paper off--he suddenly can't wait to see what it is!!

Each Christmas, we bought our late sweet kitty Petunia some fresh catnip. She loved having her soft toys rolled in catnip.
