New This Week Making Spirits Bright This week's designs feature religious expressions, images, and scenes for the Christmas season. From elegant yet easy-to-sew toile to iconic stained glass to graphical, bright designs, there's something in this collection to fit every need: decorations, stockings, dining or kitchen decor, bedding, and clothing. New angel designs are wonderful for making spirits bright. Each angel is outfitted in colors and items that speak to the season: Bright red, gold, blue, and green cheer up the short days of December. The poinsettias, holly, mistletoe, and bells they hold or that compose their gowns are emblematic of Christmas. As towel sets these angels brighten any bathroom. As potholders, oven mitts, or placemats, they will remind you and yours of the blessings of good food and the friends and family to share them with. And, applique angels and frames are a great way to use your favorite fabrics to embellish shirts, towels, and more. Stained glass designs make wonderful wall hangings; toile Nativity designs are fabulous for quilting and making quick gifts. And you can wear your bright spirits with inspirational and elegant text designs: Rejoice, Peace on Earth, Wise Men Still Seek Him, and Holy Night. Holy Night All the primary elements of the Nativity scene are captured here, within the words Holy Night. See Jesus cradled in the letter O, while Joseph and Mary kneel in the H and L and a little lamb lies in the crook of the Y. Makes a gorgeous Christmas decoration. 6.81" x 3.95" and 3.85" x 2.24" December was chosen as the month for Christmas because it is the month of the winter solstice and marks the return of lengthening days. Light, like the star of Bethlehem, has always symbolized faith, and thus stained glass religious artwork combines both the power of imagery and the beauty of light to convey the message of hope.
