New Christmas Patterns!

From Cheryl Fall, About.com Guide   November 24, 2009

I couldn't help it - I just had to design another project featuring a snowman.

This time he's joined by a sitting reindeer, an angel, bell, a light bulb and a Christmas tree in the Winterscapes pattern. This pattern is versatile and can be used as a whole, or you can use the elements alone as ornaments.

While I was at it, I updated the toy soldier needlepoint pattern. Stanley the Soldier is now accompanied by a Ballerina named Bouffant Betty, who sports quite the hairdo.

If you're making either of these projects, feel free to dig into your stash of odds and ends. These projects are both perfect for using leftover wool from other holiday projects.

I love these. Thank you. Besides using the individual ones as ornaments, they can also be used as coasters. I think I prefer the design as a whole though.

You’re welcome – glad you like them. I agree, they would indeed make nice coasters.
Happy Stitching!

Thanks for these free ornaments as I have decided to make a trunk full of them for each of my five grandchildren both boys and girls to give to them when they get married! This is my own original idea which I hope no one in the family reads as I wish it to be a surprise–naturally it won’t be after the first one. I decided I needed to get started on it pronto! Thanks for your help!
