Projects and Finishes -- AND COUNTDOWN TO 3RD ANNUAL WOOL SURPRISE GIVEAWAY TO BE HELD JAN 1, 2013

GIVEWAY COUNTDOWN
 
I planned to give you a hint today, but Valerie's craft studio was on the move yesterday.  I am exhausted from watching so I truly PROMISE to give you a hint about the Wool Giveway tomorrow, December 18th 
Hugs - Prim Santa


PROJECTS AND FINISHES:  Stitching around the tree mat border is all I have left to do (shown in the upper left hand corner) and then the mat will be ready for my living room table.  I backed the tree mat with a brushed-flannel fabric which is a first for me.  I really like the look and feel of the soft fabric backing along with how it lays on table.  The tree mat design is by Ginger Sanchez.

 Also pictured above, (center)  is yet another wonderful design by Threads That Bind called Frosty Mugs.   I have all the pieces cut and layed out, ready for stitching.  This piece will be hanging on my front door (interior) for the winter season.


PROJECTS AND FINISHES:  In the upper right hand corner is a simple, yet colorful scrappy candle mat which is completely finished.  This pattern design belongs to Primitive Gatherings. 


PROJECTS AND FINISHES:  If you follow Cheri's blog, then you might recognize the primitive ornament stockings in the lower left hand corner.  Cheri recently participated in a Holiday Blog Hop.  I can't wait to stitch and finish with rusty jingle bells.  Thanks for all the fun Cheri.
Thanks for visiting my blog.  Prim Santa will be more rested tomorrow and will provide you with his "visual" Wool Surprise Giveaway Hint .... see you then.
 
Hugs - Valerie

Wow - you have been very busy! All of your wool projects are wonderful. I attempted to print out Cheri's stocking patterns, but was never able to get the size I wanted (I'm technologically challenged!) - but your s are making me want to try again.
