Deck the Halls - Door Hangers & Lace!
It may not be time quite yet to actually trim the tree and wrap the gifts, but it is just exactly the right time to start thinking about it...and sewing for the season.
Whether you are sewing for gifts, home decor and hospitality, or church craft sales, we wager that your machine is very busy right about now.
No doubt your embroidery machine has made you famous already for giving the holidays so many unique, thoughtful, and beautiful little touches. And, this week's designs are here to make it easy to keep that reputation growing.
Freestanding lace ornaments sew up so quickly, you can make dozens of them. They'll hang lightly in your window or on a tree, and they make wonderful little keepsake gifts to tuck into a simple card or to adorn a ribbon on a box of Christmas bakeries.
Time goes so quickly in these last months of the year. You'll find that almost as soon as you have replaced your Halloween door decor with a Thanksgiving message, you'll be exchanging that one for another with a Christmas theme. But, it's all so easy to welcome guests to your doorstep when you add this week's door hanger designs to your collection. Snowmen bring messages of "Love," "Joy," and "Peace," while Santa and his reindeer greet guests with "Ho Ho Ho!"
Have fun with this week's designs. And, enjoy creating all the lovely things your family and friends will be so delighted about.
