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.
Some Design Details
So, stitchers, whether you are a beginner or experienced at
cross stitching, bring delight to someone this holiday by
stitching these two new designs for holiday gifts.
