Festive Fun No.13

An enormous stocking...another Christine Book pattern.

It hangs in our entry...

I jokingly told DH to fill it...

he offered a beach umbrella...

LOL!

What would you put in it?

It has lots of felt appliques, beads & ricrac...it was nice to be able to use bells & buttons...just have fun with it really!

Festive Fun No.8

A group of little cushions from a workshop with Christine Book.

It was at The Whittingham Schoolhouse near Singleton, now closed.

A great fun day out with stitching friends...Christine was a lot of fun.
 These patterns were later released in her Christmas book.

I have made lots of theses as gifts & often put a bell & a cinnamon stick inside them.

"Noel" is my favourite.

Festive Fun No.5

And sew it continues...

this is a cushion from a pattern designed by Christine Book.

it is a lovely plump cushion so it is hard to see that the wording is...

"Dear Santa....Love from me xx".

What I like about this is the old fashioned redwork Santa...

he has a merry twinkle in his eye!

There is a pocket where you can leave Santa a note.

Hope you are enjoying the journey!
