I had never planned on buying Christmas-themed patterns for obvious reasons. Then last December, the Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery ladies gave me their Christmas Celebration Sampler for free. They wanted to show their appreciation for the way I encouraged people to enter their patterns in state fairs. The pattern was just so adorable, I couldn't NOT make it. I decided to make Christmas patterns to give to my friends. Ironically, right after I bought the Christmas patterns, two of my friends told me that they were studying Judaism with intent to convert. (I'm drawing the line with Christmas patterns. I will not make any Jesus ones, even if they are references to Simpsons episodes.)
I made this one for my friend Julia. It has a lace border made of reindeer, snowflakes, and snowmen. The pattern shows pictures that represent each letter in Christmas. Can you guess what they are?
Luckily, I finished this one right in time for a 50% off framing sale at a local art store. I'm glad I waited for the sale, because I had a LOT of projects to frame.
I also finished the May frame for FPS's Story Time Sampler. This month was Charlotte's Web.

I just got the pattern for June, and it is one of my favorite children's stories of all time! What characters do you want to see?
