Christmas Stitching

Hello dear readers.......we have some festive photos today of things i've been making.....
.....first is this big heart made with red white and green fabrics for a christmas feel.......
.........the pattern is in my etsy shop link in sidebar.......as is the pentagon ball pattern below......
.............shown here on a stack of christmas quilts ..........
......the pentagon ball can be sewn by hand or machine and is a good way to use up favourite scraps....
...........here are lots of my cross stitch seed packet designs.......
..........i've been storing them in a wooden seedling tray.........they make cute gifts......
.........you can also mat the design on card stock to make little postcards or to hang as bunting......
..........last week i took this picture of actual seed packets at the botanical gardens shop.......love the little sign........
..........it's almost time to get out all the festive decorations......just a few things are appearing now......the main decorating happens here after my hubby's birthday at the end of november.......
..........one more view of my christmas heart.........

 ........thank you for visiting me here dear readers and for your kind words and messages.........wishing you a happy week ahead enjoying the festive feelings as we arrive in december........take care lovelies............ peace and love..................back soon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Happy Birthday Mr. Philipps!

Beautiful fabrics. The berry wreath is precious, a favorite decoration year round.

Happy Holidays!

The Christmas hearts are so pretty, Helen. Years ago I made Christmas hearts in crazy quilt style to hang on all the doorknobs of the house. These would be such a pretty update.

The heart is delightful, I can easily see a whole set made of them for friends.
