We blend fresh-squeezed color with holiday tradition to serve up lighthearted living and dining rooms that sparkle with cheery Christmas charm. Heather Bailey’s Pop Garden & Bijoux fabric collections from Free Spirit Fabric mix together beautifully with vintage holiday décor to create the freshest-ever holiday home. We kick off this series of projects with Citrus Holiday: Lighthearted Living Room. With ten projects for your living room, plus an inspiring article on creating atmosphere using an eclectic mix of old and new, modern and traditional. In early September, we begin another set of tutorials for your dining room, plus a how-to for setting a citrus table. It's a bumper crop of juicy ideas.

Congratulations to Emily Lucas, winner of a Janome DC2010 in our Sew4Home Survey.

A few months ago, we asked our S4H visitors to answer some questions for us. We were interested in knowing about your sewing skill level, what projects you were interested in right now and in the future, how much time are you able to devote to your sewing, where you go for information, what type of machine you use, and more.

Thousands of you were kind enough to share your thoughts. The information has been very helpful to us as we plan projects, tips and techniques. We want Sew4Home to be right on-target with what you're looking for. So thanks so much for taking the time to tell us about yourself and your home decor sewing.

We plan to do more things like this in the months ahead, and our Signature Sponsor, Janome America has offered to step up again with great prizes for the winners of our random drawings.

Thanks again to everyone for completing the survey.
