One Christmas Item a Month.....

...... I haven't kept to an item a month ....
.... I left out quite a few months .....
.....  so I need to catch up .....
....these might be small but they were hand stitched ....
.... and they are pretty cute ....


(These tag patterns were a freebie a few years ago from Hugs from Helen
 - just too cute and sewn with one strand of floss)

To finish off the tags I used a double sided iron on pellon and stitched around the borders then cut the edges with pinking shears and threaded ribbon through the top

I also finished off the binding for these little mug rugs - the design is by Allie


you can find the pattern HERE - there are 7 different designs and they are all ultra cute

Narelle hosts One Christmas Item a Month.... and if you want so festive inspiration have a look on THIS page......

you can do more than one though... like I did

we probably need to...... only 3 months till Christmas......

Thanks Narelle for all the encouragment....

Righto, Gotto Go..... Michelle's coming to play today .....

  17. Wonderful little pieces, it is fun to do small stitcheries. I am on the edge of my rug, so it should be done tomorrow, then I need to get back to my stitcheries.
