Although Christmas is a short three weeks away, this month’s design can be stitched up relatively quickly and be ready in plenty of time to hang by the chimney awaiting St. Nick’s arrival.

This month’s design is adapted from an painting I did about 6 years ago that appeared in a Japanese decorative painting magazine. It’s called Christmas Eve.

Once again, I must thank my amazing friend Robyn for creating the PDF files for me. Without her help, I wouldn’t be able to make these designs available for you to enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by and as always…
Happy stitching!
