So Many New Subversive Holiday Projects!
Remember, stitching reduces holiday stress--it's therapy you can gift.
Holiday Ornate Frame Kit With Red Ribbon
Gorgeous, right? And the fabric sparkles! I had these frames made in the UK because I fell in love with them. Could be used as an ornament or a wall hanging--makes a heck of a gift!
The frame is made of resin and comes with a red ribbon already attached, ready to go. And I've included a wooden circle for the back that you can easily mount your work on. The frame size is 3.7" in diameter.
Round Holiday Pattern
I love this one so much: I initially created this pattern for the white hinged box kit, but of course, they stopped making those boxes (we have FOUR left!). Then I ordered some AMAZING super-ornate gold frames for it, but they won’t arrive for another two weeks. TIS THE SEASON, amirite? ANYWAY, I love it so much I thought I should offer it as a Basic and Deluxe kit and a PDF.
Cotton Clara HO HO HO Felt Kit
Cotton Clara strikes again--HOW cute are these? Stitch this trio to decorate your tree, hang on the wall, attach to gifts or give to your three favorite hos! Comes in a gorgeous package with everything you need: 3 hoops, 3 ribbons, 3 colors of 100% wool felt and threads, "Ho" template, air-erasable pen(!), wadding, instructions and 3 backing discs (making it super easy to finish and hang on your wall). Cotton Clara always sends one extra kit so I can try it out myself—I know what I’m doing this weekend! I stitched up their Mini Cats kit last weekend—their stuff is so cleverly packaged and generous.
If You Really Want to Wow ‘Em…
I used this gorgeous vintage border on a pillow I made for some dogs in Patagonia (what a fun sentence!). I had originally designed this pattern with the perfect phrase from DAVID in Schitt's Creek but I have not had time to finish stitching it! (photos to come). So please forgive this image of the pattern, but there are also some closeups of the border as I stitched it for the dogs. TMI? Anyway, how amazing would this be on your couch or as a gift? You probably already know how gorgeous these linen-blend cases are, with the aida seamlessly woven in. I think I may be the only person in the US who carries these—after searching for 15 years! Available both as a pillow kit or PDF pattern.
Need An Even Bigger Project?
Here's a nice big project to pass the hours while you meditate on thinking positively. I have adored this kit for so long--I’m pleased to offer it in our shop! Designed by Emily Peacock and shipped from the UK, this is a super-fun and well-put-together project to really sink your teeth into! And just gorgeous.
Now we’re cookin’! And there’s much more around the bend. My house is gonna be covered in stray floss of all colors by the time we’re done, baby (who am I kidding, it always is)!
The holidays are a marathon, not a sprint. So you should probably start stitching right about now and pace yourself! ;)
Thank you so much for subscribing & enabling me to do what I love. I hope you have a great weekend!
