crazy quilt Christmas cards
I figured I really should get busy and make my Christmas cards! I don’t think I’ll make these embroidered crazy quilt cards for everyone on my list, but a special few people may get them :-)
I’ll post step-by-step instructions tomorrow. It’s actually a lot simpler than it looks - I just used straight or blanket stitch, with a few french knots tossed in for good measure. There is cotton fabric, lace, ribbon & a yo-yo (okay, and a few buttons too)… and of course, the thread to sew it together :-) I used a piece of card stock to make the card, but most major craft stores have plain pre-scored cards.

These are delightful, Chloe. I’m looking forward to the instructions. Then I’ll refer my Quilting and Patchwork readers to these posts.
