Banners and Boxes

I don't usually mention trunk shows any more but this one of Hillary Jean designs at Pocket Full of Stitches has several things that I've not seen before. So it's worth mentioning.  I think the customizable banners (you can pick your background and the letter you want on top of the background) are interesting and I love the little dog box and the stocking hanger.  The hanger for stockings is a terrific way to display Christmas stockings if a mantelpiece isn't one of your house's features and the dog box is wonderfully practical. Both are special orders.  Very clever, Hillary Jean!

The Christmas Tree Skirt Evolved

The Needlepointer's daily e-flier shows off the evolution of a Christmas tree skirt series into two long banners for the stitcher's kids.   It is a very clever way to handle a set of small canvases when the original plan doesn't seem right any more.  If you have a pile of similar canvases in your stash awaiting inspiration, maybe this will work for you as well.
