Sneak Peek!

As promised here's a sneak peek on something I'm working on. It involves this.

Which is the Christmas line from Sweetwater, and you know how much I love pretty much every  line from them and this is no exception!! This line will be available in May, which means precuts will be available in April or even very late March.

A lot of Christmas lines are adding blue this year, but here we have some black. I can't decide which I like better, what do you prefer to add to the traditional, red, green and white?

Ohhh, Christmas!!! I can't wait for it to come again. Although I could use some warm sunshine :) I have really liked the blue in the Christmas colors. Black seems a little interesting for Christmas...

I like the blue, it reminds me of the color that snow and ice take on.

Thinking the black is a nice different approach!

My Christmas tree is done up all in Red, White and Blue. And then of course there is the lovely green tree.. so I will answer your question... with Blue. Black?? Seems depressing. I will have to see how you make that work. I can see it in Santa's boots.. and lumps of coal.. hmmm trying to think here. I'm sure it will be fabulous.. but black at Christmas??

I like the black, I think it will a real dramatic touch to whatever you make. (I am not good at adding a dramatic touch LOL, but cant wait to see what you do!!)

You are so lucky! I do like the black. It depends on the shade of blue

Ah... I'm drooling! I love Sweetwater style! I'm digging the blacks, but the blue has been fun also.

Well, I'm not going to be a big decision maker on this one. I love the black with the red, green and white BUT, then again, blue is my favorite color. That's all I have to say.

Blue is my favorite colour but have to say in this case black..it sets of the red and green.
I'm finding the younger people seem to be adding light and electric blue to Christmas these days...guess I just like the traditional.
