It's Sew Mama Sew's Giveaway Day (which is almost a week)! So I bought one of the remaining October bundles from Fabric Spark's Month Sparks fabric club to give away to one of you.
I curated this wonderful bundle and it was so fun to work with. There are fabrics there from many of my favourite designers.
I used my own set of these fabrics to make Imp, and if you like you can read more about her here. I am very proud of this quilt, she makes me smile and smile.

I love "White Christmas" and "Holiday Inn" two great classic Christmas movies. "Christmas in Connecticut" is pretty great as well!
Love your style and love this bundle! These would fill in the orange gaps in my stash! It isn't Christmas officially until 'It's a Wonderful Life' has been watched IMO!! Thank you for the giveaway!

White Christmas is our family's favorite. My husband and I saw Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, last weekend. We enjoyed the movie and thought the acting and animation were excellent.
Hope you and your family enjoy the holidays. Thanks for the chance to win the fabric.

I did movies on your IG so here is my books.... there is a new Patricia Cromwell book out Chaos that I can't wait to read!
I love The Greatest Story Ever told. It's about the birth of our SaviorJesus Christ
I can't say how much I love orange! I try to use it in every quilt. This line makes it much more fun to do that! The panda's are so cute adds a nice touch.
What a great giveaway. Thanks for sharing! I like to watch. "It's a Wonderful Life" to remind me of how we all influence one another.... and that we all matter. Happy Holidays to you.

My husband discovered Halmark, Lifetime and more recently, Up. He gets hooked at Christmas and will watch the sappy Christmas shows and cry into the wee hours which is not his usual habit as he in normally an early to bed early to rise kind of guy. Your bundle is a knock out. Thanks!

I follow your blog and IG, and have to say I'm a super-huge fan <3 !!!!!
A wonderful book to read, and that I gift on many occasions is The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. It is the story of a man that dies, goes to heaven and where he encounters five people who had a significant impact upon him while he was alive. My daughter will be the recipient of a copy this Christmas~
This is beautiful! A movie I'd say is necessary for the holidays is ELF! :)
I follow your FB and will be signing up to follow your blog, it is very lovely. Your projects are nice~
Another favorite holiday movie of ours is, "The Santa Clause". ❤️��❤️
And I follow your blog through Instagram.

It's a Wonderful Life-watch it every year!
How about re-reading (or reading for the first time?) all the Harry Potter books (or watching all the films) - that'll keep you out of mischief! And I'd recommend the start of The Seven Sisters trilogy by Lucinda Riley -the first three are out and I'm hoping to get the third one for Christmas!

I have been enjoying The Crown on Netflix. Thanks for a chance to win. It is a really beautiful group of fabric.
I am seriously thinking of giving up reading because addiction interferes with quilting. Movies are shorter. Sew- I like the old movies. Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is a hoot!!! Old Cary Grant
Your quilt is gorgeous!!! Love it!! I watch all the Christmas movies!!

Elf is a great movie to watch!!
My favorite Christmas shows are the Charlie Brown ones. They are actually the only ones I watch I am ashamed to say. I just don't watch tv and I don't read Christmas books.
Dreamland is a great non-fiction book, if you want something serious.

Thanks for this great giveaway. I don't think I have any orange in my stash, this would be a great addition. White Christmas is my movie, can't miss it.
Thank you for your generous giveaway. Although this is not a Christmas book, I love anything written by James Patterson and he has a new book that just came out in the Alex Cross series. These are awesome books if you like mystery and murder.
I always enjoy a few of the movies from childhood. Scrooge, Santa Claus and even It's a wonderful life. :)
The fabrics you choose are great, Thank you for the opportunity!

I love that the bundle doesn't scream Halloween! One of my favorite holiday movies is Love Actually.
Not a Christmas themed story but I have loved the Poldark series of books by Winston Graham. The PBS seasons based on the books is also a great watch.

I love all the Hallmark holiday movies and watch them over and over. Just read the last of Earlene Fowler's quilt mystery series abut heroine Benni Harper. Hope she continues to write more of them.
The best film I've seen in years is "Intouchables", a French film about people meeting their challenges. It's full of humour, and yet the subject is deep social criticism. I could watch it any day of the year, but it's not suitable for young children. Not that it's an "adult movie"!; the subject matter is too heavy for young children to understand.
I follow your blog by GFC.
what an interesting color group - not one that I have worked much with- your winner will love its modern look.
Regards from Alberta Canada,
Anna
Love this fabric! The Grinch that Stole Christmas, or Elf are fun movies during the holidays.
Depending on who is watching, Die Hard, it's a Wonderful Life, white Christmas, and Stone Family Christmas.

I love that you are giving away a bundle that you curated. And seeing how you used the bundle for Imp is also inspiring!
We love Home Alone 2 at our house!
Thank you for the generous giveaway. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Scrooged are our go-to favorite Christmas movies.We are catching up on missed shows on Netflix and are getting alot of laughs out of The Grinder.
Our favorite holiday movie is Christmas Vacation. It always creates laughter and makes my family feel "normal" in comparison. This fabric collection is so pretty!
I liked the new J.K. Rowling movie.

Not sure if you like murder mysteries, but the books by Louise Penny are marvelous. Rich, beautiful and human. The protagonist, Armand Gamache and his wife Reine-Marie are people that I would love to have in my social circle. I especially love to listen to these books while sewing.

Love, love the colors & patterns in this bundle---thnx for introducing them to me & for the great giveaway!!
One of our favorite movies so far this season has been Hacksaw Ridge. It's not an easy movie to "stomach", but it's such an amazing story of integrity & conviction! We loved it!
So pretty! My focus in books has been ya lit lately. I just read Island of the Blue Dolphins for the first time and enjoyed it. I always remember hearing about it, but never read it before for some reason. My kids also really like the Sisters Grimm series.
I love to read! I love fantasy books, Raymond Feist is one of my favorite autors
A Christmas Story and Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas are two of my favorites to watch.

My favorite Christmas movie is "3 Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel". It's the story of Cinderella. I love the movie and it's a must-have. Maybe it's been translated to English.

If you're looking for holiday themed books and movies, I can't really offer any help. But if you have some downtime and just want to read an entertaining book then I recommend "In a Sunburned Country" by Bill Bryson. I have also read and enjoyed several novels by Heather Gudenkauf. Your bundle and your quilt are GORGEOUS!

My go to movie for the Holiday season has always been The Ten Commandments. My husband bought me a DVD a few years ago for Christmas and oh my the vivid colors and better picture is so worth it! I love the fabric bundle you have chosen for your give away! They are absolutely fabulous and I would love to win them and help fill up my depleting oranges!

The colors are wonderful! I have a friend with MS- she has a cycling team & we bike and raise $$ for a cure..... It gets more difficult to raise $$, so I make items to "sell" for donations. Since orange/ black are the MS colors, I would love this combination to make a quilt for bidding.
I listen to music while sewing- and right now it's all the 'oldie' artists: Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Christy Minstrals,Gene Autrey, Burl Ives to name a few..... too many to name!
I am following you with Bloglovin-
I love those brightly colored fabrics. So happy and cheery!
Any of the Elm Creek Quilt books would be great reading while cuddled under a quilt this holiday season. Might I suggest a nice cinnamon tea to go with it!
What great fabric! I love orange. Read Elizabeth Hunter Elemental series. #1 is A Hidden Fire. Vampires, mystery , and romance without the porn. lol

I like your use of the gray for structured unity and the various oranges to add continuity, it's a good mixture of freeform yet organized. I read you from Bloglovin
I love it when authors have Christmas stories. Like Richard Paul Evans, Agatha Cristie, Mary Higgins Clark. Would love to try to make a quilt with this bundle.
Not a Christmas movie, but the sound track will make your day... watch sing street!
For a Christmas movie, Love Actually, but just for a really great laugh with tons of great lines, Crazy People with Dudley Moore, Paul Reiser and Daryl Hannah.

If you can find it, The Best Years of Our Lives is a my favourite old (1946) movie. I find most of the movies from this era don't appeal to me much, but this one holds up well. Dana Andrews is wonderful in it. annesimonot@sasktel.net
"A Christmas Story", a must read around here every year. Love your quilt!!!
I hope that you read my comment so that you will know how much I admire your IMP. She IS a beautiful fun piece. You've used some sterling fabrics to construct her, and I would be thrilled to emulate what you have created!!! I love everything about her, design, movement and ORANGE!
For the holiday try to grab a viewing of a movie that came out in the year 2014 (I think). It's called A NEW YORK WINTERS TALE, starring Colin Farrell. He is splendid - the movie is magical and I endorse it 100%!!! Happy happy holidays.

It's not a holiday book, but the beginning of a phenomenally beautiful and well-written series is "Still Life" by Louise Penny. They are mysteries, but so much more--all of life's complexities and promise is in there, I give you my word.
