On to the pins...
How cute is this banner designed quilt? I just adore banners so this was a given. Would make for a fun baby or children's quilt, too.
I love Cindy's quilt designs and fabric/colour choices and this is no exception. Her modern take on the traditional log cabin design is so fresh and pretty. Can you just imagine this in Christmas reds with the grey and white? Just beautiful.
Does your household have a Christmas elf on the shelf? If so, perhaps she or he would welcome a cosy little bed to nap in?
OMG, this fabric tag is so cute it's painful! Honestly, how many of you are already pulling out scraps and sequins right now to make your own?
And these little dress form scissor holders are also adorable and feminine - perfect for a seamstress friend or family member.
Need a simple yet fun project for the kiddies? How about this super easy felt heart garland - snip out little hearts and thread along narrow ribbon. Perfect for tree decoration or anywhere in the house.
And speaking of tree decorating, how about making some felt lights in a rainbow of colours?
I like grid designs and I particularly like the different sizes and shapes in this grid. The different shapes and sizes also work well to feature natural embellishment clusters, journaling or whatever else you wish to include.
I'm not typically a 2-page LO girl but with the holidays and the volume of photos one can easily snap, sometimes a double-pager is just what you need. I do love photo booth strips and they work so nicely with this design.
If you crochet, perhaps you'd like to have a go with making some pretty stars? These are so delicate and beautiful.
I *love* quilts with crocheted edges on them. It's probably one of the big reasons why I'd like to learn how to crochet. This tutorial will show you how.
I totally fell in love with these adorable mice when I saw them last week. I made one (ridiculously quick and easy) for my Secret Santa gift-ee. They would also make fun stocking stuffers or fun extras for place settings at the table.
Fancy yourself a DIY-er and want to save a little cash but still have beautiful decorations throughout your house? Check out these quick, easy and inexpensive ideas.
Hope your holidays are shaping up well to be merry and bright. Wishing you all Christmas cheer!
