12 Days of Christmas: Day 1

Time to deck the halls! Today we're talking holiday decorations - and I've got some swoony ones to show you. :-)

I love these screen printed beauties from Jane Foster.

And how about this Seuss-inspired one? I love the wonky stripes! You can find it (and other awesome stuff) at Good Wishes Quilts.

Of course - I have a free stocking pattern. :-) You can download it here. Use it as a base for all kinds of embroidery or applique work.

I've got an ornament pattern too. Download it here.

And here's a post showing fun ways to combine them, like this stocking with a mini stocking pocket on it.

I'm so in love with these teeny tiny felted boots. Adorable, no? Get them at Felt Story and then hang them on your tree.

How about some garland for your tree too? There's a great tutorial for this fun twisted felt garland at Purl Bee.

It's not new, but I've loved these Martha Stewart gumdrop guys ever since the first time I saw them. Get the instructions here.

Like these cuties all bundled up in snowsuits? You can buy a kit to make them here.

And, of course, there's an embroidery pattern in the shop for some Christmas baubles. For ornaments you can frame them up in tiny embroidery hoops. . .

 . . . or in these frames. Or you can stitch them on some dinner napkins or tea towels to add some holiday cheer to your dinner table and kitchen. Or stitch them on a mini tote (free pattern here) for some fanciness under the tree.

Lots of great holiday goodies. Have fun!

Best,
Wendi
