New this week It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas To the average shopper, Christmas seems a long way off. But embroiderers know that being prepared is the key to a peaceful holiday season. This week the Embroidery Library is pleased to offer new holiday designs. These designs are so very versatile - all of them can be sewn onto fabric and incorporated into holiday cards, decorations, or special Christmas garments. Some can be sewn directly onto paper for unique and colorful greetings, and others can be sewn onto fabric for to make ornaments and fun gift tags. A wide variety of styles are ready to match every preference and taste, from graphical to humorous to scenic. There's sure to be something that fits everyone on your Christmas list. To demonstrate the beautiful cards that you can make with these designs, we've provided examples here. The dove you see above is sewn directly on cardstock. Then we layered it on top of holiday-print muslin, and affixed it to a card. We've done the same with the Santa to the right, who looks positively smashing against the plaid. And, keep an eye out for coordinating ornament designs. Sew them onto fabric and insert into the card for an extra holiday surprise. If you are new to making embroidered cards, you'll love the Project Instructions page. We demonstrate different methods to making cards, and also have a quick way to make envelopes.
