Thanks for joining the giveaway.
I'm mostly scared of applique, but my favourite motif would probably be stars. As for christmas colours, the only "christmassy" project I've made was a dozen placemats for my mom - reds and greens with gold metallic accents.

I haven't appliqued anything yet. As for christmas colors, I'm not real big on red and green mixed, but I do like red/white or green/white combos, especially in stripes.
I'm currently loving the combination of cream and gold - classy christmas
my fave color combination is the red, white and aqua in my figgy pudding quilt I'm working on. Thanks for the giveaway!
i like silver and white
I haven't appliqud, soas far as the Christmas colors to sew traditional red and grean varying shades.
I love to applique, and have a soft spot for beautiful snowflakes, although gingerbread men are sweet too.

Thanks for the chance to win!
What a nice giveaway!! I have never appliqued before and I haven't done many patterns but my favorite would be just squares sewed together, nice and simple!!
I've never tried an applique. But my favorite Christmas colors right now are winter whites with some lighter green and reds/oranges.
Thanks for this nice giveaway!
I'm not good enough for applique (although I would love snowflakes). But my favorite holiday colors are blue and white, because those colors feel like cold and snow and holidays. Besides the obvious red and green I mean.
Oh thank you for this chance!! I love to use red and white with silver for Christmas, Yet you cannot beat the good old red/green!
I haven't appliqued for years(since I was a girl and my grandma showed me how). But, my favorite color combinations really vary. I seem to have room themes going on. I have red and green in the kitchen and blue and silver in my living room. My bathroom has light blue and silver. I haven't stormed my kids' rooms yet!
For Christmas I really like red, green, and gold combined. Very traditional I know but it's nice. For winter I like blue and silver.
Not patient enough for applique. I like good old red and green for a Christmas quilt. Thanks for the opportunity!
I don't applique, fav colors would be red with a sage green OR brown/red. Thanks!~
I don't do applique...but I love to use dark green/red and gold for Christmas. I also like blue/sliver for wintery items!
My favorite shape is the star. Colors would have to be bold red/green/pink/white. Great giveaway!
Oh I love these pre-cut kits. The best! I do applique but haven't ever done Christmas - go figure. Favorite colors are in the blue/white theme.
I haven't tried applique yet, but I am wanting to try it...so we will see if I get the courage!! As for color combos, I love the traditional red and green, but I also like blues and whites together.
I love to work with snowmen as they last all winter long instead of a month...
I have not appli. any Christmas items... but I love the CHristmas colors lime green and pink - It's a bit untraditional & I love it. Have a wonderful Christmas.

One of my favorite Christmas quilts I made had lots of pink in it. So unusual but turned out very nice. Otherwise I really like the retro looking Christmas colors.
I've only done a little Christmas applique, most of it this year! But I liked doing the holly leaves, because you can add them to so many things and make it even more Christmasy!
I havn't done applique yet, but my favorite Christmas color combination to use is a bright red apple red, with a bright lime green! Very retro modern!

I'm really big on appliquing stars, though turning those corners on the machine makes me think bad thoughts sometimes. I'm really into Christmasy blues and greens, especially mixed with silver. It stands out to me.

I think a mitten is the sweetest applique!
I love lime green, pink red and tourquoise combo for Christmas--I know crazy eh?
and yet I love the regular just red and white and green too...
snowflakes are my favourite thing ever but I've never tried to do a snowflake applique
Wow! Great giveaway prize. I like to applique trees and stars. However, the process is made easier for me with my embroidery machine.

Although I like traditional green and red, I love a blue/white combination as well.
Hmm I've been working on all sorts of Christmas shapes lately for my Christmas Advent calendars. So far the Gingerbread man would be my favourite to applique.
Haven't appliqued anything, but I do like a simple, yet classic red and white
I haven't really appliqued but snow flakes would be cool. I like the typical red and green for christmas. But I do love figgy pudding with the aqua this year.
I like the combination of white with blue or white with red.
Snowflakes! Which reminds me, I have a snowflake wallhanging that I started last year...hmm...maybe I should finish that. :-) Thanks for the reminder!
I have done some applique, but nothing for Christmas or Winter. As for Christmas/Winter quilt combinations I have two favourites - pale blues and white; and deep red, dark green and light brown (the country, "homespun" kind of look).
I have never done applique yet but want to try it in the new year. My fave color combo is classic red and green, but i think that that is changing now that i have seen so many fabrics our there
Well.. I haven't tried to applique yet and I haven't made any christmas quilts either. If I did make one I would love the snowman look with blues and winter whites. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Thanks for the wonderful giveaway! Anything snowflake is my cup o' tea :)
I'm really into whites with blue and purple this year and Snowflakes are my favorite to applique.
Yay for fabrics and tutorials-
i only machine applique and craft quilt-i love aqua red and pink together!!
For me it's all about snowflakes, cause they work great for Christmas, but also all winter!
curry.jessica@gmail.com
Wow, that is an awesome giveaway! The only Christmas thing I have appliqued so far is a snowflake (well 12 of them) and those are challenging! I would like to try and Christmas tree!
Thanks for the giveaway! I'm really loving red and lime green right now.
I LOVE that table runner!!! I like trees to applique or presents. Nice and easy.
symbol? snowflake
color? blue and silver!
What a great giveaway! I just haven't mastered applique yet :-( but as for colors, I am really into red, turquoise and gold for christmas. All christmas colors are so festive though!
I don't applique yet though I really really want to try (but I'm chicken!)
My favourite Christmas colour combo is pale blue, silver and, believe it or not, pink. It has an awesome cool retro vibe that I really love right now!
I love to applique Christmas trees and stars. Thanks!
my favorite color combo is red and white!

I haven't done applique but I love the traditional red and green, but am enjoying pink and silver this year.
I have never appliqued a thing soo my favourite Christmas colours for a quilt would be a retro aqua and pinky red (a la Sheri Berri Christmas) LOVe IT
Great giveaway - although so far my attempts at applique have been pityful, sorry I am not there yet. I do like the (ordinary) red - green combination with some gold in it. Thank you!
Fun fabrics! Thanks for the chance to win! I haven't done a lot of appliques, but I have done stars and am hoping to work on a few Christmas trees.

I like red and white for Christmas sewings myself...
Lately I'm really into soft blues and whites for Christmas.
Of course everything I have is green and red instead! But if I had a million dollars, I'd totaly re do all my stuff.
I haven't appliqued, but love red, white, green, and blue for XMAS
Ooh, I was just telling my husband that I want to make one of these sometime but haven't made the time to do it! I haven't yet attempted to applique but I would love a new tree skirt with appliqued snowmen around it. Maybe someday I'll work up the courage...
I LOVE that cheery read and light/bright blue thats along the brightness of aqua but not anywhere near that green. Do you have any idea what I am talking about? Add either a rich green or a close to lime but not too bright/yellow green to the mix, and somewhite...ahh (oh think Moda's It'sSnowing line from last year!)
SWEET! LOve that it's ready fo a table runner- how did you know I wanted to get one more done for the Holidays? Thanks for hosting this giveaway. Happy Holidays.
Jane
Awesome treat! I love table runners! And for colors...LOVE RED! Thank you!
I love to applique trees!
How very fun! I like to appliqué trees and snow men. And i love lime green and deep red holiday colors!
I don't applique so well yet, but I'd love to try a dove someday for the holidays. For colors, I love reds.
I haven't done any Christmas applique yet, but I think I would like stars, some points, but not too many!
Shawna
My favorite applique for Christmas has to be Santa. And my favorite colors for a Christmas quilt would be red, white, green. :o)
I haven't done applique yet, so I'll go for the second question :-) I love blue, so anything with blue is my favorite. Blue with gold, blue with red, blue with white, and you get the idea :-) Thanks for the chance!
Thanks for the great give away. I am just learning to do applique and I love to do stars for this season. I would really love to do snowflakes but I'm not quite there yet. Happy Holidays!!
I like blue and silver. It makes me think of winter more than just Christmas. But I love the classic green and red as well.
Wow what a great giveaway! My favourite winter/Christmas applique is snowflakes. They can be tough to do, but look so nice once they are done.
I like any kind of vintage motif and my fav colours are rich reds and greens. Thanks!
I do not do applique, but I love the deep reds and greens for other quilting projects. Even some gold and blue.
"What is your favourite Christmas/Winter colour combination to use in a quilt?"
Light blues and white are what I love in a winter quit. It gives the feel of snow. :)
I love appliquing snowmen at christmas time!
This is such a lovely giveaway! How nice to have a ready to sew christmas project!
Happy Holidays!

I don't do a lot of applique--there are too many things I like to do and not enough time. But my second choice for my daughter's Christmas dress was going to have an appliqued Christmas tree with a big bow instead of a star on top. The dress had big bows on the shoulders too...maybe next year...

I love embroidering snowflakes. Does that count?
Merry Christmas!
What a cute kit! Thanks for sharing! I've been doing a lot with light blues and bright reds this season...
I haven't really appliqued anything. So I will answer the second..I love a bright green, and red with come maroon for my christmas colored quilt. (But I use blue and silver for dec. around the house)!!
not big on applique yet - but, I love silver colored fabric with red, blue or green fabric....
And, I don't have a holiday table runner - so that would be perfect.

I love true red and bright green. Thanks for participating in the giveaway!
You made me think with your question! Thinking back over the years of the appliques I have done It would have to be snowmen! Thanks for the give-away and Have a Blessed Day!
I am not big on appliqués, but I think I would go for a very simple tree shape, some kind of a triangle! As for the colour combination, I like red and white with a little touch of gold.
Great giveaway! I just appliqued a pillow with trees and stars. Red and white are my favorite holiday colors. Thank you for the giveaway. alusco(at)centurytel(dot)net

I would love to applique a snowflake but my skill level isn't there yet ...maybe next year.
I am loving the blue and whites together ...the sky and the snow.
I would say red and green for Christmas quilt. I need two see those colors to think Christmas immediately.

I like silver and blues at Christmastime. I've tried applique once and enjoyed it, just haven't had a chance to do more yet.
Thank you so much for the giveaway.
Red and white, clean and simple :) Sew generous-- thanks for including my entry in the giveaway!
So cute! I did a pumpkin applique that turned out well.
I love to applique reindeer and use ribbon to embroider the antlers. Sew very pretty!
Wooo, quite the giveaway!! I have never done applique, but my favorite Christmas colours to use are definitely red and white- I know, I know, very boring and traditional right!?! Oh well!! :)
I love the combination of dark blue, aqua and silver for Christmas quilts !
I LOVE to embroider or applique snowflakes and snowmen.
I haven't done any applique as I am a new sewer and quilter, but I love the winter colors of blue and silver.

I love to appliqué stars. Especially the Star of David.
A table runner would be fun to make.

Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
Wonderful giveaway!
My favorite holiday appliques are the Peace Dove and snowflakes. They are both universally appealing and can be used with any color combination.

My house is reds & golds so I do love those, but recently have been doing more red & turquoise! I love to applique anything at all, trees, snowflakes, stars...
i love a dark forest green and burgandy!! thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
What fun Christmas fabrics- I have not yet made anything Christmasy so it would be lovely to win something Christmasy. Thanks for hosting such a nice giveaway.
I have not appliqued very much and what I have done is on machine using fusible interfacing.
I love all Christmas colors but I am a traditionalist - red and green are my favorite.
Warmest regards from a Western Canadian quilter,
Anna
I'd have to go with the traditional red and green. Thanks for the giveaway!
I made a Christmas wall hanging once with snowflakes appliqued on it - I loved how they turned out :)
My first applique project was a Christmas wall hanging with snowmen. It was cute and I would do it again, but I was a little nervous doing it for the first time. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the runner pattern and fabrcs - I have actually been planning to make a holiday runner and this would be great! Thanks for the giveaway!
Favorite colors/shapes for Christmas - I really love stars, and along with them, the non-traditional Christmas colors of blue and silver!
I like to applique trees and stars! Thank you for your giveaway.
not appliqueing yet... but I love dark forest green with a rosey terra cotta...thanks for the giveaway, I'd love to win!
My favorite winter color combination is red and white! Traditional candy stripes always get me in the Christmas spirit, so red & white are a natural first choice for me. :)
My favorite Christmas symbol to applique is either a tree or a candy cane--fairly simple and adorable on a tee for my monkeys. And I was wanting to make a new runner for the holidays! I sure would put this to good use.
Second question--I've gone with red and white and a bit of silver this year with my Christmas decorating. I also include greenery but I'm more into red and white as the main colors.
I like the red, blues, and white colors! Thanks so much for the chance!
I don't applique much yet - but I love putting red and white together for Christmas quilting!
Whew! I made it just in time! My favorite holiday colors to combine are red and white! I also like working with blue and silver, but my love for red usually wins! LOL! jinglesells at gmail dot com
Beautiful fabrics! I like the combination of gold and red. :)
