Christmas in July

I have seen many Christmas in July sales while trolling the internet. I thought to have my own Christmas in July post.  This is a set of Victorian Christmas carolers from Heartstrings that I purchased at The Needle Works in Austin, TX.  One of my fellow Swans and I did them all in 2011.  The finisher, who is also a Swan, brought them to the Christmas party.  Talk about coming in under the wire.  They stitched up quick and were so fun.

  1. I love your set of carolers and how I wish I had a set for myself. My problem is, I have to stop doing needlepoint for everyone else and start stitching things for myself. They are beautiful Stephanie. Great Job.

    1. Thanks, ladies. Yes, I think they are still available. They were so fun and we did about one a month. It wasn't a series set up by the store, but we kept each other on track and shared threads,etc. There are some more characters and a tree, but we stopped here. Thanks for looking.
