STBS Christmas Caroling Row Along and Give Away

Christmas Caroling RAL 2017 photo CCLogo-2-small-450x373_zps857lafcy.jpg

Welcome to the Christmas Caroling Row Along!

When I heard this year’s hop theme I knew I had to join!!!
I love all types of Christmas music. When radio stations decided to start dedicating the entire month to playing Christmas music it was like winning the lottery. Of course my holiday isn’t complete until I hear “Snoopy’s Christmas” by the Royal Guardsmen at least once.

Trivia Tidbit…Did you know I’m a Christmas Carol? That’s right…my birthday is Christmas Day and I’m a Carol. ROFL.

Can you guess the song I picked for my first row?

rockin row

Did you guess Rockin Around the Christmas Tree?
That was an easy one!

Those rockin little elves with an Elvis vibe were designed by my daughter.

Finished row size is  12” x 30”

Download the FREE row from my Craftsy shop HERE.

---------------------------

Background fabric for this row is Northcott’s Best Tree on the Lot collection,
sku# 21763-63

A huge THANK YOU to Northcott for generously providing all the designers in this hop, and there are a lot of us, with their row fabrics. Be sure to thank all our sponsors for making fun events like this possible for you.

Northcott


Helpful Tips

The pattern includes placement guides for the elves. I suggest sliding it under an applique pressing sheet. That way you can pre-fuse your elves into one unit which makes placing them on the block much easier.

You can use applique or substitute buttons to decorate your tree.
