All together now...

 

Grab a cup of eggnog (or other seasonal beverage) and join in for another round of carols courtesy of The Curious Quilter (Days 2 & 3)

I'm off to wrap a few gifts so please sing nice and loudly so I will be able to hear you over the crinkling and cutting.

A very Merry Christmas to those who are already into the 25th...we are not too far behind LOL


We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Sung to the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas.

We wish you a Merry Christmas,
But here we are at an impasse.
Is quilt-making in the forecast
For a Happy New Year?
We don’t want figgy pudding,
Just one thing will make our hearts sing.
Some nice time to spend on quilting
Will bring us good cheer!
Good tidings to you, wherever you be.
Good tidings, and time for quilting,
In a Happy New Year!


Oh Come, All Ye Quilters
Sung to the tune of Oh Come All Ye Faithful.

Oh come, all ye quilters,
Time for motivation!
Oh come ye, oh come ye to The Big Quilt Show.
Come and behold them, all the glorious fabrics.
Oh come see mitered borders,
And perfectly matched corners,
Admire some applique at
The Big Quilt Show.
Oh, there’s the winning quilt,
What an inspiration!
I am glad I came to see The Big Quilt Show.
Look at that landscape quilt! See the one with beadwork?
I see some tiny hexagons,
And wonderful hand-quilting!
Perhaps one year my quilt will win
The Big Quilt Show.

 

Deck the House
Sung to the tune of Deck the Halls.

Deck the house from floor to gable,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Christmas runners on the table,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Quilts on all the chairs and couches,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Wrap the gifts in quilted pouches,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
For the girls sew holiday dresses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Then make ribbons for their tresses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Bibs for babies, shorts for boys,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Vests for guys, and then some pet toys,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Festive hangings for the walls,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Pretty garlands for the halls,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Every bed has pillowcases,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Quilters create smiling faces!
Fa la la la la, la la la la!

The Twelve Gifts Not Finished
Sung to the tune of The Twelve Days of Christmas.
 
Note: I am only posting a few verses, but think you can wing it from there. This song is very repetitive!

The first gift for Christmas
That I did not get done:
A king-sized quilt that wasn’t much fun.
The second thing for Christmas
That I did not get done:
Two tote bags,
And a king-sized quilt that wasn’t much fun.
The third thing for Christmas
That I did not get done:
Three mug rugs,
Two tote bags,
And a king-sized quilt that wasn’t much fun.

Keep singing ALL the other verses, ending with:

The twelfth thing for Christmas
That I did not get done:
Twelve small wall hangings,
Eleven hearts for trimming,
Ten Christmas stockings,
Nine new potholders,
Eight fancy aprons,
Seven pillowcases,
Six placemat sets,
Five baby quilts!
Four table runners,
Three mug rugs,
Two tote bags,
And a king-sized quilt that wasn’t much fun.
