Candy Cane Popcorn Recipe + Redwork = Red and White Fun

As the year winds down, I'm feeling especially thankful for you. Thank you for reading, for making, and for sharing your love of handmade with me. As we all enjoy these last couple of weeks before the year ends, I hope you have time to savor the little traditions that make this season so special.

Do you love to make fun holiday treats for family and friends? This is one of my favorites! I featured this Candy Cane Popcorn Mix in a past blog post — it's just so delicious that I had to share it again with you. The post also includes some decorating ideas including a display of a few jolly characters in my vintage Santa collection! 

Here's a fun idea! Keep recipes organized with my Fold 'n Go Folio. Convert the pattern to Holiday Recipe Card Case and stitch it up in festive fabric to gift with favorite cookie recipes.

Be inspired by the timeless beauty of Redwork. I share my collection of quilts and projects featuring this popular technique. I love the simplicity of single color embroidery and how the color red makes such a heartfelt statement.
