SONGBIRD SERENADE
Wreathed in wool greenery, this bird’s holiday message is clear.
Mix simple embroidery and appliqués for a pillow with plenty
of subtle color and texture. If you use a striped fabric for the
background, like this nubby cotton/linen blend, make sure to
center the design on the stripes.

EVERLASTING JOY
Indoors or out, this sign is a welcome holiday sight. Stenciling
on a simple stained-wood background showcases a traditional
green holiday wreath. An artificial wreath keeps the sign ready
year after year. If you use real greenery, seal the sign with
polyurethane and mist the wreath to keep it fresh.
