Need a sweet little project to stitch up over a steaming cup of cocoa? Rebecca Ringquist has the perfect thing! Her newest embroidery sampler includes four snowflake panels to be embroidered by hand and then when complete, you can sew them into four festive holiday ornaments, perhaps with customized messages of love on the back. Rebecca will demonstrate how to set yourself up for success, including how to transfer the design from a PDF. Then you can stitch along with her using the back stitch, filled back stitch, chain stitch and couching, or treat the sampler like a coloring book and choose your own stitches to suit your fancy. Top it off with a sequin for some extra sparkle.
