stitching for dec5th

wee wonderfulssew la tea do
This year I've made many embroidered pillowcases as gifts, inspired originally by pip linolne's sew la tea do. Now I apply that technique to other embroidery patterns and other fabrics. The patterns I use this time were: the two elf  freebie patterns from wee wonderfuls,  The heart pattern is form the book Embroidery companion by alicia paulson, that I got from our local library.

 We celebrate sinterklaas on december 5th, although in a very low key way yesterday. The kids sing dutch songs , we share a special meal together and they get presents.  Now they get to use their pillowcases until christmas,an extended advent/ christmas season, but definately not southern hemisphere based!
