Holiday Decorating.....

There still a little bit of time to create beautiful holiday decorations. Here's a couple of ideas:


Here's the Jolly Holidays pattern by Susie C Shores Design. This pattern includes a 20" x 6" banner and 3" ornaments. Isn't it cute? It's suitable for beginners. This would be a great pattern to get the kids involved.


How about the Jingle Bell Vases pattern by Artful Offerings. Definitely a great item for the Santa collector.

Here's a couple of gift ideas:

Here's a stocking stuffer idea. Havel's Snip-Eze Scissors. These scissors are 4 3/4" long with a curved blade. Absolutely wonderful to keep next to the sewing machine for snipping threads or next to the embroidery machine for trimming.

For someone who enjoys making pillows, the Pillow corner template would be a wonderful new tool. This template helps prevent the "dog-earred" look on pillows. For pillow patterns from 12" to 20".

There are lots of new items being added to the store on a weekly basis. Check back often in the "What's New" section. I also put items that have been re-ordered here. Remember, I will order items for you.

Some many new items...

Where has the time gone? The past month has zoomed by. I did finish a Halloween costume from head to toe. Then, there was a 4 day weekend that we decided to have a little bit of fun. Of course, I have been adding lots of new items to the store. With 41 days left till Christmas, we all need to get busy.

Today, I'm going to start with some wonderful finds for children. Let start with this wonderful little bag:

This is the Pony Pouch tote pattern by Black Cat Creations. This would be a wonderful gift idea for boys or girls.

This next item could really be for the whole family but younger children would really enjoy having this. I know my son would have loved having these.

The Safari Placemats pattern by Little Country Quilts. How cute are these? Don't you think the kids would love them?

I have also added Deco Bond to the interfacings / interlining section of the store. It is a heavy fusible and will add crispness to your projects. This is washable, dryable, and dry-cleanable. It is 90% polyester and 10% rayon. This is great to add to placemats or handbags.
