Christmas is .....

68 days away.  Where has the time gone?  How are your projects coming along?  Mine are moving along very slowly.  I actually have about 45 days left for any creations.

Here's some little gift ideas:

How about these Adorable Autos?  This pattern is from Sweetbriar.  Make one or all three.  Keep those imaginations going?

How about this cute pillow pattern from Country Appliques?  For the older child, the Goodnight Cars Pillow pattern.  Cars fit in the garage and there is an additional storage pocket on the back.

How about a sleeping bag for the doll(s)?  This is the Slumber Party sleeping bag pattern by Atkinson Designs.  With 4 sizes to choose from, you should be able to find the right one.

This one takes a little more effort to create.  Dolls On The Go pattern by Sisters' Common Thread is create for the little person who likes to take their doll with them.  There is storage for the doll and accessories.


Happy Stitching!

Holiday decorating

I start Christmas/winter decorating the last weekend in November or the first weekend in December. With 67 days left till Christmas, that means that there is about 40 days before everything needs to be ready. Are your creating new items for the holidays? Here's a few ideas:

Here's a cute little vase pattern called Jingle Bell Vases pattern by Artful Offering. The materials list will create both of the vases.

Here's a new advent calendar pattern called Countdown calendar pattern by Hunter's Design Studio.  The window at the top allows you to use a featured fabric, a pieced block, or an applique designs.  Calendar size is 12" x 44".

Here's a cute little applique placemat pattern.  This is the Jolly Snowman Placemat and Napkin pattern by Country Appliques. The pattern includes the appliques placemat, napkin, and coasters.

There is also some Christmas table cloth fabric:

This is a 56" wide fabric with a border on each selvage with a very traditional print.  This will make a quick and easy table.  The first picture is of the Golden Double Border (81518-157). The second picture is Red Double Border (81518-337).

Can you tell I like Christmas?
