Christmas is coming and we’ve been busy stitching fabulous
gifts and accessories here at Pretty Patches, ready for you to
recreate in time for the big day.
Our beautiful Nordic-style table runner and pretty ribbon
placemats use free-motion embroidery for a contemporary
finish, and will bring a wonderful homemade touch to your
festive dining. Kajsa Kinsella’s sweet appliqué stocking is easy
to make and perfect for packing with presents, and our cute
little Santa Tomte promises to keep your home safe over the
holiday season.
As for gifts, we know it can be difficult to find time for
crafting handmade presents in amongst all the shopping,
cooking and partying in the run-up to Christmas, so we’ve
included a Stash Happiness special which contains quick and
easy present ideas for all the family, from fairytale playsets for
little ones to an easy cushion and stylish wallet to keep those
‘hard-to-make-for’ men in the family happy!
Elsewhere in the issue, you’ll find a step-by-step guide to
piecing the gorgeous quilt featured on our cover, which is
made with the latest Tilda fabrics, as well as inspiration from
designers including Luke Haynes, Ruth Singer and Sarah
Fielke, who made the stunning quilt opposite.
Happy stitching – and merry Christmas!
Welcome
