Getting ready for Christmas...2013!

What? My last post was about putting Christmas decor away, and now I'm talking about Christmas 2013!

You betcha! That's "normal" in the crazy needlework world, where Christmas isn't a season...it's a year-round celebration.

We're excited to announce our new Flip-it series for 2013. JINGLES!!! 

We've designed a group of 12 Christmas ornaments. You can hang them, or frame them, use them for package tie-ons, whatever you like. They're all different sizes and shapes this time...just to change things up and keep you guessin'!

And, like the usual Flip-it series, the 12 designs will all fit together into one big Christmas-y stitchery. We'll provide the FREE template, some extra graphed elements to fill in the gaps, and all the instructions on our website at www.lizziekate.com.

We're still waiting on the big beautiful frame for our combo piece, but here is a SNEAK PEEK photo to get you thinking Christmas...in January! What elements can you see...a snowman, a hooty owl, peppermint candies...

Here are some other fun facts about the JINGLES:
*There are 12 designs...we'll release the first 3 near the end of January.
*Each design comes with embellishments - either tiny red button, or aqua snowflake button and white beads.
*We stitched our JINGLES on 30 ct. natural linen, you can choose your favorite fabric!
*We stitched our big combined JINGLES on 32 ct. amber linen (Wichelt)
*Stitch count for the entire project is 80W x 369H.

*Our very talented finisher, Mona, will post FREE instructions on a special finishing blog for this series. First time ever, very cool!
*Thread list - Weeks Dye Works capri, cayenne, chestnut, grasshopper, grits (3), hunter, juniper, Louisiana hot sauce (2), mascara, molasses, pecan, peony, sweet potato.

Excited? We sure are! We'll have lots of other new goodies available at the same time the JINGLES are premiering, so stay tuned for more products SNEAK PEEKS!

Here's to celebrating Christmas all year long!
