Welcome all to the last day of the blog hop! I hope you have gathered all of the secret words and you are ready to enter them for the big grand prize! If not check the schedule in my last post and visit all of the blogs. Gather the key words and then enter them in a post on the Henry Glass Blog. The Rules for the contest are in the previous post. I am sharing the day with Linda, so hop on over to her blog next.
I will be doing my own Giveaway at the bottom of this post after the Q and A.
But first, my TUTORIAL!
I love taking the holiday's into every room and this is a simple and inexpensive way to do it!
...Present Pillows....
Aren't they so cute and festive! I used Dupioni Silk for these pillows, but you can spice them up with any of your fabric fabrics. I think they would look darling in Miss Modd :)

Now for the Q and A...
hint hint...the secret word is written in green
If you don't know me already or you're new to Pink Fig, here is a little ditty to help you get to know me better:
1.What is your favorite Holiday Food? Pumpkin Rolls and Christmas Cookies
2.Does your family have a favorite Holiday Tradition? We like to pack up a couple of bags of food and clothes and go on a drive in the city. When we see a homeless person we stop and give it to them. We also include some money and a Book of Mormon with one of our testimonies of our Savior Jesus Christ written on the front page. It's a great Holiday tradition that we have grown to love.
3. Did you like or hate sitting on Santa's lap. I think I hated it because I have a picture of myself when I was about 5 screaming my head off.
4. Was there a gift you really desperately wanted? Did you get it? The Barbie Mansion, fully loaded. Yes I did.
5. What is your favorite Holiday Movie? I have three: A White Christmas, The Holiday, and ELF. We recite lines from Elf all year long.
6. Favorite Holiday Song? All of them, but I especially love Josh Groban, Harry Connick Jr, Michael Buble, Charlotte Church, Celtic Women, all the pretty stuff.
7. Do you make any Holiday Presents? What do you like to give? Sometimes I do, if I have time. I usually make something for my girls, like doll clothes or sock animals.
8. Would you prefer a large decorated tree or one like the Charlie Brown Tree? I like large, fully decorated, all blinged out trees with glitter galore.
9. If you could go back in time, when you you say was your most favorite Holiday Memory? The Christmas just after I met my husband. I was only 18 and he was 24. I didn't know him that well, but I was completely smitten. We went to his Grandparents house in the Avenues in Salt Lake City that overlooked the whole valley and had dinner with all of his Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. I think that was the first time I met Lila and Lucy too. It was so much fun! We played white elephant and I got a really nice smoothie making machine. I was totally sold and wanted to marry him and his family. I got my wish.
10. Do you like big family gatherings at the holidays or do you prefer a small dinner followed by hot chocolate by the fire? Both. I love getting together and seeing my family, but I like to do that before Christmas. Nothing is better than staying home with my own sweet family on Christmas Day and just chilling out, watching movies, eating good food, and sleeping.
Did you enjoy that? I kind of did. I forgot about that Christmas memory :)
Now it's time for my little Give Away! I'm giving away a ROXY Rag doll and a purse from my Accessories pattern. Both are made from my Amelie Fabric line! They will be the perfect Christmas Gift for any little girl.
I don't have a picture right now because I am waiting for them to come home from Quilt Market, but I will post it the second I get it!
To enter leave a comment here on my blog. I don't care what you say, just say something nice. For some extra brownie points you can also follow my blog and like me on facebook (my link is on the right side bar), but only if you want to.
I will be drawing the winner on December 1st!
Happy Holidays!

Love your Pillow pattern and it will make a nice gift for my sister.
I have a question though:
In the tutorial, what happened to the 6th block (I am assuming the one for the top of the box, the block you initially sew the ribbons criss cross on?) As the instructions stand, one side would be open.
Please advise
Oh how I wish I had a little granddaughter to make some of the cute girl clothes you design, but not yet. Have a Merry Christmas.
I love your project and can't wait to make some of them!!! I have granddaughters and would be thrilled to win. Can't wait to see the pictures of the doll and bag.
HAPPILY FOLLOWING YOU!

Those pillows in silk are so beautiful. Thanks for the pattern. I am very envious of your Barbie Mansion:-) I wanted one so badly but I probably didn't get it because I was bad about sharing with my little sister. I was so selfish as a child but now I share willingly.

Your present pillow are lovely and very chic, well done. I love how the silk makes them look "rich". Thanks for sharing the pattern and for the chance in the giveaway.
A gift is love tied up with a bow,
and then showered upon those that we know,
dripping down like the raindrops which
dew-like bestow
life, love and laughter where ever they go.
Thanks for blessing us with yours, my gran made silky pillows and everyone who visited her left with one tucked firmly under their arm as they left the house.
Hi Chelsea - I am a new follower and would love to be included in your giveaway! Loved reading your blog and will continue to do so. Hasn't the Henry Glass Blog Hop been great?? Thanks for your generosity! x
I really thought I had already left a comment here, but don't see it. ...Maybe that was the evening my internet went out!! The pillows are lovely, elegant, and appear simple. Hmmm, was it difficult to sew the silk? Thank you for giving to others! So often, people only look for what they can get. But here you, and several others, are giving of yourselves, your talents, and also goodies. Bless you!
Thank you for the adorable packages pattern. I am thankful to have found your blog and shop just in time for Holiday creating. May your Thanksgiving be blessed! :)
Love those silk cushions, they are very cute. Thank you for the great blog hop and sharing your designs
Wonderful

Love the fabric presents.....just what I need on all my beds....Thank you.
