Peace on Earth

May your Christmas be filled with hope and

Joyous memories of those who have touched your heart~

I'm looking forward to a few days off with hubby~

Pushing some loops, pulling some loops & slow stitching...

A batch of cookies or two~

Alaina & I have been planning a day of paper mache, too!

Sharing how I finished one of my latest patterns~

Home in New England

I used four stands of wool yarn.

Long enough length to trim around the entire piece.

Whip stitch in place with DMC floss.

Sometimes your piece will try to curl as you're finishing it...

No worries, you can press it at the end.

Finished side down against a plush towel, mist pressing cloth

with water & iron on medium heat.

 Wishing you every joy of this beautiful season~

Praying you all stay strong & healthy!

Annual Christmas Stocking Pattern

~To thank you, Friends~

For your kindness, support & patronage throughout the year!

2020 Can use a little extra love & distraction 

so I designed two stocking patterns to share this year.

I used #12 Valdani threads for most of my stitching~

DMC floss for the eyes and mouth.
