To say I'm thrilled to be part of The Jingle Ball this year is a major understatement! As an attendee last year (at the very first Jingle Ball) I saw just how fantastic and special this virtual event is! Not only is it full of energy, excitement and creativity, but the sense of community is probably my favorite part!
If you're not familiar with The Jingle Ball, it's a Christmas themed virtual event that happens December 1st-3rd and it is 100% online, meaning anyone, from anywhere is welcome to participate! You don't need to go anywhere to enjoy all of the events and it's a great way to celebrate the season with the stitching community. What's extra nice about the Jingle ball is that you can celebrate the 3 day event however you'd like; cozy and quietly in your home. gathered with friends both IRL and virtually, or however you can imagine!
All you need to do to enjoy The Jingle Ball is purchase one $10 admission ticket per person, which go on sale this Friday at 7pm est and can be purchased until the event is in full swing! No one should miss out on all that their ticket includes because IT IS GOOD! The following features are included with your general admission ticket:
- ballroom entertainment
- stitching rooms to visit with old and new friends
- live meet and greets with each of the 12 participating designers
- free classes
- admission to each of the 12 designers virtual shops with feature Jingle Ball exclusive designs

Hello From Liz Mathews
Once you've purchased a ticket to the ball you have the option to sign up for a virtual classes being taught by each of the designers. The classes range in price, subject matter and style. I am certain you will find something you love!
Find all the details on each of the 12+ classes on The Jingle Ball website under the "classes" tabs. The schedule tab will also be really helpful because you don't want to double book yourself!
The really important thing I need to mention regarding classes is that many of the designers have a “kitted” class option available as well as a fully digital kit option. I suspect that the “kitted” (meaning physical products ship to you in the mail) will sell out quickly, so if you want the opportunity to get one of these please don't delay in buying your ticket and signing up for classes!
Both the Jingle Ball general admission tickets AND the classes go on sale Friday October 13th at 7pm est. Set your alarms!
