2 New Holiday Designs You Must See!

 

Have you started stitching gifts for the holidays yet?

For stitchers, holiday shopping begins before everyone else 

because our gifts take so much more work than the typical

gifts do. That is what makes them so special. 

 

When recipients open our stitched gifts, they see our love in every stitch we crossed.  As you are getting your holiday stitching rolling, I am so happy to introduce two new holiday designs from AC Needlework.  Keep reading to get the details. 

 

Christmas Tree Quilt Block

Counted Cross Stitch Pattern

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adorned with shiny red bows in a ring of holiday green, the

Evergreen Mandala Counted Cross Stitch Pattern is a perfect

choice for a greeting card for the holiday.  It would also be

lovely mounted in a small frame and displayed on a mantel or

in another holiday centerpiece.  

 

 

A Bit About Mandalas

 

A mandala is a circle. Any round object can be a mandala. 

Many cultures (ancient and current) give meanings to the

mandala.  Various religions have used the mandala as

sacred art, from rose windows in cathedrals, Native American

dream catchers, and Buddhist sand mandalas.  But

mandalas are all around us - snowflakes, flowers, pin wheels,

cinnamon rolls, the sun, the moon, and even the very planet

we live on. Today, drawing and coloring mandalas has

become a popular means to achieve relaxation. I find that

stitching mandalas help me relax.
