For the past few years, I’ve taken part in the Santa Sack Swap hosted and organized by Cheryl over at Gone Stitchin’. This year, I was partnered with Pauline who blogs at Phoenix Heirlooms. I thought it would be fun to show you the gifts I made for her. For the swap, we’re to make our partners a sack, stocking or…
Happy Monday Everyone! Today here in Canada (and other Commonwealth countries) we’re celebrating Boxing Day. For some, it will be a day of hitting the after Christmas sales. But for me, it’s my day to slow down and relax after the busyness of the holiday season. I don’t have to cook because the fridge is full of leftovers. I don’t…

Only 18 days until the jolly man in the red suit begins to make his yearly trip around the world… but that should be more than enough time for you to stitch up this sweet pattern of him and his sack filled with toys. I’m thinking of stitching Santa on a light blue background done in Redwork except for the fur…
Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! With less than 4 weeks left before Christmas, the push is on to get more gifts on the go. Most other years, I’d be closing in on the home stretch of gift making but this year I’ve barely just begun. There’s going to be a lot of late night sewing and…
