What is Christmas without a Star?

When I purchased my first embroidery machine, it always frustrated me that I could not attempt any designs bigger than the 4 x 4 hoop. If you are struggling with the same problem, you are in luck.

I’m starting to run out of words to describe all the great Christmas embroidery designs available! Adorable, cute, lovely, beautiful, too cute…What can I say about this dog bib/bandana, it motivates you to make one for your pooch.

ITH coloring stuffies

Let’s face it, Christmas time can often be very stressful, especially with busy toddlers running around in need of stimulation.

The coloring stuffies stitch out in a few minutes and will at least keep busy hands occupied for a while. Be creative and give glitter and glue or paint in addition to markers – you can even urge them to do it nicely and gift it to aunts, uncles, grans, or friends.

ITH ADVENT CALENDAR

I am disappointed that I did not find this advent calendar embroidery design earlier.

It is an heirloom make and will amaze your guests year after year. If you have family visiting later in December, you should still attempt it – it will be so worth the effort.

The design sizes include 12 embroidery motifs, 6 each for ITH trees and 6 for sewing/patches. The designs fit frame sizes 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4), 13 x 18 cm (5 x 7) and 14 x 25 cm or larger.

These designs are perfect for your entry hall, Christmas table, or on the tree.
