Stitches from the

Yuletide by Kathy

Schmitz, US$25.99

It’s never too early to start crafting

for Christmas. The latest book of

hand-embroidery designs from Kathy

Schmitz is a generous collection of 15

projects focused on the season. They

include a cushion, stocking, gift-card

holder, wallhanging, tea cosy and table

runner – a wonderful array for yourself

or to give as gifts. Many of the designs

feature snowmen and other classic

wintery Christmas motifs, so if that

fits your yuletide theme, you’ll find

this book outstanding value.

Published by Martingale. Available

from selected craft shops or as an
