If your friends and family are scattered across the country, the holidays can get awfully expensive! To help make it easier for you to celebrate, Craft Gossip is teaming up with Shell to offer a free $25 gas card to one lucky reader. This giveaway is part of an effort to promote Shell’s Fuel Rewards Network, which is a great customer loyalty program that lets you earn Fuel Rewards savings in several different ways and then redeem them for cheaper gas.

Here’s how you get savings:

  • Dine out one of the 10,000 participating restaurants, you can earn 10 cents off per gallon for every $50 spent
  • Shop through their online mall at more than 700 merchants and earn 5 cents off per gallon for every $50 spent
  • Earn additional bonuses for every grocery or dining purchase that is made with a linked MasterCard
  • Link grocery rewards cards to your account and use e-coupons that offer Fuel Rewards in addition to their regular savings

When you want to redeem your Fuel Rewards, you insert your card into the pump or hand it to the cashier before you buy your gas. You can then buy up to 20 gallons of fuel at the reduced price.

Visit the Shell Fuel Rewards Network website to sign up for this free program or to search for a Shell station near you.

When you’re done signing up, leave a comment telling me about your holiday travel plans. You have until 5PM CST on November 14 to comment. I’ll announce a randomly selected winner on November 15.

UPDATE: Random.org helped me select commenter #14 as our lucky winner. Thank you to all those who entered!

Cross Stitch Ice Cream and Frozen Treats

Summer is the time for sweet treats, whether eating them or stitching them. This collection of patterns is full of designs that are good enough to eat. Almost. 

This year of ice creams from Simone Balman Art is lots of fun, and you could also stitch up these treats individually if you’d rather. The full piece is 210 by 300 stitches, though it’s not full coverage. It uses 25 colors and comes out to 13.6 by 20.1 inches, or 34.5 by 51.2 cm, as shown on 14 count fabric. 

These mini Popsicles from Mariana Gonclaves ART as super sweet and quick to stitch. These would also be a fun border to another summer project. The full design is 43 by 46 stitches, which is 3.1 by 3.3 inches, or 7.8 by 8.3 cm, on 14 count fabric. 

Sam X Stitch has this fun sweet treat sampler, which again would be fun to stitch as individual pieces (maybe on napkins?). In all it calls for 18 colors and measures 153 by 153 stitches. That comes out to 10.93 inches or 27.75 cm on 14 count fabric. 

Another great sampler is this one with ice cream and other sweet treats from Cute Patterns by Maria. At 119 by 132 stitches total, working the full pattern would be about 8.6 by 9.4 inches, or 22 by 24 cm on 14 count fabric, and it uses 33 colors. You can also stitch individual designs, which range in height from 35 to 45 stitches, and in width from 11 to 28. 

This collection of four sundae patterns from Stichrovia would be fun to make for a kitchen or a teen’s room. Each pattern is around 40 by 50 stitches, so they should fit in a four or five inch hoop if worked on 14 count fabric. 

Or stitch up one of the treats from Stitch Chart Studio‘s collection of seven ice cream cross stitch patterns. These range in size and in number of colors needed, but most would fit in a five or six in hoop (and one in a four inch hoop).
