Heirloom
Christmas" Leaflet! #34
A$20.95 +p&h
IN TWO COLOURWAYS.
This addition to the Heirloom
Sampler series is about Christmas, and is a celebration of all
things that we hold dear during the Holiday Season. Since I was
a child, I was much influenced by the music and the love of
family and friends at Christmas. On Christmas eve, my mother lit
the many candles sparkling on the tree, on the mantle and on
every table in the house. Our decorations were simple ones,
evergreen boughs and holly, decorated with some glass ornaments,
bows, and tinsel and angel hair. We would sing carols at home
around the piano, then nap and go to midnight service. Oh, the
most beautiful choirs in the world would sing in the Cathedral
at midnight.. a magic hour for a child to listen to the music of
love, peace and joy! It is these magic memories that I designed
into my Heirloom Christmas sampler.. I hope that it evokes some
beautiful memories as you stitch it!
Two Colourways: this
sampler was originally conceived as a long sampler in Antique
Rose and Teal Green colours. You can see these colours in the
photograph on the front of your leaflet and above. However, if
you are one of those people who love the Victorian Reds and
Greens at Christmas, then please follow the same directions, but
substitute the alternate colours where you find them in
parentheses. The shorter version and the Needleroll can also be
stitched in either of the two colourways. The Victorian Reds and
Green shorter version is shown on the back of this leaflet.

Heirloom
Christmas Needleroll
Thea has taken some of the
prettiest parts of the sampler and fashioned them into a
needleroll. Remember that this needleroll is not as wide as the
sampler above, and there are only 3 chickadees in the Band of
Chickadees! This lovely confection looks somewhat like a
Christmas Cracker doesn't it??
