Christmas Countdown #13: Beth Colletti

Something about the cool simplicity of this Folk Art Embroidery Kit by Beth Colletti really appeals to me. I love that the simple stitches will look just as lovely after Christmas, as a pretty winter decoration.

This is also available as a PDF pattern, if you'd like to choose your own fabric and colors.

Wonderful Wednesday #34: Cathy Eliot

Love this foliage series of patterns by Cathy Eliot on Etsy, especially this Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme hoop.

Christmas Countdown #7: Trellis and Thyme

I'm in love with this Merry Little Trees pattern for ornaments by Trellis and Thyme. I love the unusual colors - a cute change from the traditional red and green - who can resist a cheery pink tree? If you enjoy making handmade felt ornaments, there are many to be found in the Trellis and Thyme shop!

Countdown to Christmas: Peace

Christmas Countdown #13: Felted Trees

Stitched by the purl bee

I must admit here and now that I have a weakness for anything posted on the purl bee. If you've never visited them, you really must click over there now, I promise you'll be instantly inspired!

Isn't her work beautiful?

Thanks again to everyone who's been chiming in on the previous post. You have all been super honest, kind, and up front with your opinions - to me, that's what the indie craft movement is all about. Thanks, everybody!

I am in awe of kayla coo's fiber arts. Each item she creates is so amazingly and intricately detailed.
