The Bells on Christmas Day,a great Blackbird design

.  Do you know we have a touch candle to turn it on and you blow it out when you are going off to bed.  They come on automatically too.  I love these, I used the tapers in old silver candle holders on my table for Thanksgiving.  I have them

Amaryllis quilt at $92.50

on my mantle and they are the epitome of 

decorating with JOY!  You can add the little boxwood candle rings, a little special ribbon and you are good to go.    Samplers and needlework accessories are the frosting to decorating for a season.  I have enjoyed stitching more this year than I have in years.  I guess it has become a way to diminish stress and find comfort and joy.  That is truly what handwork is all about.  If

 you haven’t tried it I highly recommend the benefits you will get.  Your imagination and creativity is sure to soar.

This is Barb’s quilt known as “Christmas in My Heart”  it measures 59″ x  76″ and kitted sells for $121.50, you will need the pattern @ $10.00.

The next beauty to think about is called “Boughs of Holly” and Mary is the maker of this quilt.  “Boughs of Holly” is 59″ x 72″ and kitted sells for $102.00.  Pattern is needed and sells for $9.00. It is displayed in our beautiful vintage sleigh, a great tin Merry Christmas sign and our prim angel. 

“Christmas-ish” is another favorite quilt we love because it reads neutral,  we

pulled from our great collection of red and green shirtings, when we say Christmas-ish it is exactly a bit of Christmas in a subtle way.   Christmas-ish 

kitted is $110.75 and the pattern is in one of most 

popular book called Sweater Weather.

“Hannah Jenkinson” 1778 is pictured on the bed and is another great sampler from of our favorite designers Stacy Nash. 

Barb and Mary have done some great table toppers  for the season as they always do.  It’s Snowing in the Pines is a great centerpiece or could be a luncheon topper.  It measures 38″ x 38″, sell kitted for $46.50. You will also need backing and the pattern which is $10.00.

Barb also did Royal Albert which is 19″ x 56″ and kitted sells for $33.50.  This is a great companion to the Marche’s de Noel quilt which sells for $175.00 and  the pattern is included in the beautifully boxed kit.   The

More inspiration:   Mary’s topper is a runner called “Under Wraps”. 

It is 25″ x 55″, the kit  includes the backing and binding and sells for $70.00. 

The pattern is needed for $9.00.   You will love how the presents go around the outside making up the border and two Noble Fir to top it all off are left to grace the middle.  This is and easy piece and so festive.
