Oh, look! It’s Finally Friday!
I hope you’ve had a jolly week so far, and that you’re ready for a relaxing weekend. (Hopefully relaxing?)
With nine days left until Christmas, there’s still a bit of stuff I need to do.
My tree is still not up, for example.
But that’s no reason to not continue the pre-Christmas celebration here on Needle ‘n Thread! And today, we’re going to do just that, with a very holiday-appropriate give-away for A Stitcher’s Christmas #7!
I’m also announcing the winner of A Stitcher’s Christmas #5 – a beautiful stumpwork kit from Celeste Chalasani and her stumpwork class on Craftsy.
Today’s give-away, courtesy of The French Needle, features this gorgeous Christmas wreath embroidery kit from Rouge du Rhine.
Rouge du Rhine is a French needlework company that creates all kinds of projects for needlework enthusiasts. Here in the States, if you’re looking for their kits and designs, you’ll find them here, through The French Needle.
Rouge du Rhine has several wreath designs, not all Christmas related. Their kits usually feature natural linen ground fabric with colorful or monochrome embroidery worked in a variety of stitches. They’re a lot of fun, not too taxing, and you end up with a nice finished piece!
I like the wreath designs – they’re perfect for adding a monogram in the middle of the wreath to personalize a project or make a nice gift.
And while you might not have time to stitch this one up for this Christmas, you’ll get a good head start for next year!
If you want to join in the give-away for this Christmas wreath kit, which includes pre-printed fabric, threads, needle, and instructions, you’ll find the guidelines for entering below.
But first…the winner from #5!

The randomly drawn winner of the stumpwork embroidery kit from Celeste Chalasani, and free access to her stumpwork class on Craftsy, is… Lois Wilson! Congratulations, Lois – I will email you today and we’ll get you all set up for your stumpwork adventure!
