Christmas Holly Centerpiece
 

I happened across this tutorial this past week-end and it really caught my eye. It's sort of like the Fold & Stitch wreaths that are popular these days but less complicated. If you can't figure out how to make your own pattern, she sells it for only $2.

Lots of people like to give a candle for Christmas & I think this would be a great addition to a candle gift. I think you could figure out how to make it smaller by just reducing the pattern.

sew cute for the holidays

Tartan, just curious as to how you would change it. Thanks.

I think I like this pattern better than the stitch and fold, you can see more of the focus fabric...the pattern is a bargain at $2

[ATTACH=CONFIG]558163[/ATTACH]I think I would reinforce the holly like idea by giving the front edge a similar shape. I could also quilt in some leaf veins. I would have to use 2 different green fabrics for both sides however to keep it looking holly leaf like.

that is cute!!! thanks

Tartan, that's a great idea. We need to see a completed mat. :)

Very cute, Thanks for sharing :D

Thx for sharing...I also find this more attractive than the folded wreath...simpler and more modern. ��
