Oh wait! I think I hear the Doorbell. . .
**Runs for door with excitement to see if guests are arriving**
(Yes. . . that's my Christmas tree you see. lol.)
Please. . . Come on in, it's terribly cold outside. . .
Look at all the SNOW we got a few weeks ago!!!
I'm just happy that you made it here safely!
Here, let me take your coat and I'll put it in my husband's office. Just a sec. Okay, I'm back.
Would you like something to eat?
Yes? Oh, good. . .
I've baked up a yummy dessert for you.
You don't mind having dessert first, do you?
It's my favorite PARTY PUNCH and the recipe's so simple. . .
Just Mix: One 2-liter bottle of Cherry 7-Up and 1 Can of Pineapple Juice. Yep, that's it!
You can easily double, triple, or quadruple the recipe depending on the size of your gathering. Just pour what you need into a punch bowl and add ice. It goes really fast so you needn't worry about the ice melting and diluting the punch. You could even freeze another can of pineapple juice and toss in some cut up pineapple and fresh raspberries. Just put it in a bundt pan to make a "Frozen Raspberry Pineapple Ring" that you can toss in the punch bowl just as you're ready to serve it. I think I need another cup of punch. How about you?
How are you doing? Good. I'm happy to hear that. It sure has been nice getting to know you a little better. I know you like to sew and I was just wondering. . . Have you had a chance, yet, to make any of my projects from Moda's Bake Shop? Oh, that's great! Which one is your favorite?
If you haven't seen my Moda Bake Shop Recipes you can link to them HERE.
Hey, look who's just arrived, it's one of our Special Guests. . .
**Stands up to Greet and Hug**
Let me introduce you to Melissa Mortenson from Polka Dot Chair. She's such a great person. You'll be friends in no time at all.
Did you know that she's one of the many wonderful Moda Bake Shop Chefs?
It just so happens that Melissa has designed several of my favorite projects. So when you have a minute make sure to check them out at the BAKE SHOP.
I sure hope you saved some room for more FOOD because we're headed on over to Melissa's Dinner Party at Polka Dot Chair. If any of you want to carpool I have enough seat belts for 7 people. Can any of you fit a few in your car?
Oh! I almost forgot! Before we leave. . . I want to THANK ALL OF YOU for coming to my home for dinner tonight. Hey, dessert is dinner. hehehe! lol. It's been so much FUN having you visit and share in the big CELEBRATION!!!
And one more thing. . . It's the GIVEAWAY!

I've chosen Fat Quarter Bundles. FQ Bundles are the best! I really love having extra fabric after making a project just so I can use the scraps in other quilts or craft projects.

Thank you for the lovely evening in your home. I hope I win that great book!
Love your blog!! I'm having so much fun with this dinner. And I'm totally going to use your punch recipe at a baby shower at my house next week! So perfect! I hope I win!

I love that valentine holder/over the chair one. Thanks!

THanks for dessert! I love your blog and projects!
What a wonderful and warm post! I'm just so excited about this book.
A big "thank you" to Moda, and to you, too!
wordygirl at earthlink dot net
Such a fun post today, thanks! Love your recipes, and your "recipes", they are so yummy!
I love your work.
Thank you.
Your post is SOOOOO creative!!! I love how you did it!
Your projects (espeically the hugs and kisses banner and the advent quilt) are some of my favorites!! Thanks for having me over for dinner!!!
Hope you cooked a lot. I'll take the strawberriessssss.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I think I enjoyed your post the most so far! Thanks for making me smile!
This book looks wonderful! I can't wait to get my hands on one!
Thank you for welcoming me into your home. I love your post. And thank you so much for the recipes. May I ask though, in the trifle recipe it says "cut up the strawberries and add to the Danish Dessert". What exactly is "Danish Dessert"?
The punch recipe looks very yummy.
I'm very happy you gave the link to all your recipes at the Bake Shop because I hadn't seen all of them. My favorite so far is the "Plates for your Table". I find myself drawn to Dresden Plates for some reason. I love the idea of using those to make a table runner. I think that would be awesome using Christmas fabrics to give as gifts.
Thank you so much for your part in the giveaway.

About the giveaway is very brilliant, I love all Moda pre-cut are fantastic, is an extraordinary way to have a complete collection of fabrics with a low cost, and so that you can make each project with a different collection.

Thank you for "dinner". I like having desert first. Thanks for the giveaway.
Looks super yummy. Now I can use my bowl...
THnaks
I enjoyed my visit to your post so much! You made us all hungry with that good-lookin' dessert!
The trifle looks fabulous I'll happily have a bowl full !
I love using fat quarters, too, but the bundles can be so expensive with larger fabric lines. I think my next purchase will be one of the new fat eighth bundles.
That dessert looks so good. Now I have to put strawberries on my grocery list. The book looks delicious too.
from ARTBETH:
Your Party Punch recipe is similar to what I call Christmas Punch, which uses 1 lt of Cheerwine, combined with the pineapple juice. I'll have to try it with Cherry 7Up someday. I look forward to seeing your project in this new book. jemilyea [at] hotmail . com
I can't wait to see inside this book and love all the giveaways!
I loved your photographs, they made me smile! And the book (and that dessert you posted) looks fabulous.
Thank you so much for having me over for dinner. It was amazing. The trifle was to die for and I cant wait to make myself a batch of the punch (hee hee) Funny Funny post :-) Congrats on the book.
That punch is our go-to as well! WEe love it with lots of Sonic ice :)
Thanks for the treat!
Thanks for being a part of this- and for the easy punch recipe. It sounds yummy.
woohoo!! what a warm and welcoming home :)
We still have our Christmas tree up too--love the lights and leave it up as long as possible;-) Congrats on the book and thanks for the great punch recipe! Can't wait to try it;-)
What a lot of trouble you went to just for me and I think it is right to have the fruit first. Your trifle looked like a real art work. I have a picture of your hook keeper ready to work with. I love the applique.
I had a wonderful time and really can't wait until the book comes out.
Congrats on the book!!! Huzzah!!!
thanks looks good
What a fun post!! I always love your posts--they are always just like we are talking face to face!! =) Great recipes--thanks! Congrats on the book, can't wait to see it!!!
