To all my Needle ‘n Thread Friends, I wish you and yours a Christmas full of joy and many blessings!

I wanted to stitch you up a nice Christmas card this year, but all I managed was a bit of fun in Photoshop:

May your Christmas be a peaceful one – and may you squeeze in some quiet time on the side for stitching! Just remember: don’t stitch and drink eggnog at the same time!

The Medallion Project will be my primary needlework focus over the next month. In addition to the Medallion, I’m stitching up a monogram and working out step-by-step instructions and some video tutorials on monogram embroidery, for an online class that will be announced in the new year. I’m also working on a miniature goldwork project that is…. well. Miniature. These projects will keep me good and occupied, especially during the 12 Days of Christmas give-away series that begins tomorrow. After January 6th, I should have plenty of stitching updates for you!

See you tomorrow, with the First Day of Christmas give-away, which includes some gorgeous kits and an instructional DVD.

Merry Christmas, my friends!
