STBS Christmas Caroling Row Along and Give Away

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

Welcome back to the Christmas Caroling Row Along! This is my second row.
You can find my first row HERE if you missed it.

Family traditions, do you have them? 
We always have fish on Christmas Eve, festa dei sette pesci or feast of the seven fishes, and cannoli’s for desert on Christmas day. Now I’m not talking any ol’ cannoli, I’m talking about a cannoli from Termini Bro in Philadelphia. Anybody know what I mean? My mouth is watering…

cannoli
This image is not a Termini Bro Cannoli

 

Can you guess the song I picked this time?
It’s not as popular so you have to REALLY know your songs.

dominick row

Did you guess Dominick the Donkey?
If you did you’re a holiday song super star!
If you’ve never heard it you can listen
HERE ~ warning you’ll be humming it all day

Finished row size is  12” x 30”

Download the FREE row from my Craftsy shop HERE.

 Dominick the Donkey - FunThreads Designs
Sorry I didn’t get the binding on…

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

Background fabric for this row is Northcott’s The Magic of Christmas collection,
sku# 21701-44

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.

Helpful Tips

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

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.

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.
