Fast, Fun, and Festive!

Now that the holiday season is fast approaching, maybe you're in the mood to stitch something that's filled with red and green and lots of glitzy gold metallic.  I had a holiday idea that I've been madly stitching on these last few weeks and can now share it with you: a new American Quilt Collection design called "HOLIDAY GIFTS":

Oh, boy, this festive quilt design was so much fun to stitch up!

I grabbed a skein of Watercolours 025 - "Holiday" as well as a handful of reds, greens,

and golds in #5 pearl cottons and metallic Ribbon Floss -- then started stitching

some happy little packages.

I'm thinking about turning this cutie into a sofa pillow for holiday display, 

instead of framing it on the wall....

And I've also included alternate thread colors (blues) for a Hanukkah version.

So if you want to stitch yourself into a holiday mood this year, just jingle on over

to my website and get all the ordering info on this new HOLIDAY GIFTS pattern!

Ho, Ho, Ho and Happy Friday, Everyone!
