Yes, I know it's June but I wanted to share with you a new book that I have.
It's called "Simply Christmas" and it's all about Christmas and stitching.
The whole book is designed for all you embroidery lovers out there.
It's a fun collection of projects.....8 projects in all!
There is the "Let is Snow" pillow.......
"Silent Night" wall hanging......
"Trim the Towel for Christmas".......perfect for teacher or co-worker gifts!
"Candy Cane Christmas" candle mat......
"Tag that Gift".......reuseable every year!
And last but not least, "Cup of Cheer"!
I love little projects that I can get done in a night or two. Nothing better than working on quick and easy Christmas gifts a few months ahead of time so that when the holidays arrive you will be ready to wrap, not stressing over unfinished gifts!
I will be giving away two copies of "Simply Christmas" and all you have to do is leave me a comment to be entered! The lucky winners will be drawn on Monday, June 25th.
First comments almost never win but I just had to say that I love smaller perfect patterns that I can actually finish the same year I find them. The church is perfect for my sister. Thanks for sharing with us out here in blogland.

This is a great little book! Smaller projects to actually finish!!! How sweet. Thank you for sharing Sherri!
Posted by: Bonnie Nyquist | June 21, 2012 at 11:18 PM
Smaller projects are so much more "do-able" and make great gifts! They are appreciated and treasured just as much as something that took MONTHS of work! I make lots of embroidery projects like this and I'm always looking for new designs! These are PERFECT!

Hi there. I just LOVE the Christmas designs. The Silent Night hanging is sweet and I just bought that frame, so I would love to make the hanging for Christmans. The snowman pillow is great too, I am a snowman collector and this will add lots of charm for the winter season, which is plenty long here in Alberta, Canada!! I really love getting your emails and seeing what is new. Keep up the good work!
