Holidays 2009-’Tis the season!
Snowflakes are some of nature’s most fragile things and yet cast a beauty
that can’t be matched. Thus, are my snowflakes gift to friends all around the world. A bevy of snowflakes, each beautiful and unique in its own way, and a token to last a lifetime.
End of every year, I take pains in creating a set of designs for my machine embroidery friends. Last year, I decided to carry out a random survey from the lovely emails that I received. The purpose was to find out what 
friends really want to have. I have to admit it was an eye opener and a huge help to me in determining my selection for designs this year.
Hoop size is always a big factor for many friends, as are the number of stitches and number of colors. The one thing that everyone wanted were freestanding lace designs. With the wish list and ideas in hand, I started work. My initial thought was to create two snowflakes which would be fast yet useful for friends. Alas, the collection kept growing until a dear friend pointed out that Christmas is right around the corner, next week!
For friends I have created a collection of seven snowflakes which can be used in so many many ways
, from adorning the Christmas tree, to name tags on presents, scattered among dining table decoration, stitched out on clothing…the list goes on! Most of the snowflakes use only one color, except for a few which use a cluster of golden candlewicks in the 
center to give a festive look. The snowflake on the right has loops around each of the flake petal which can be used to attach pearls, beads etc, giving it a completely different look, as can be seen on the left.
Another look that was preferred by many friends was to create covers for glass ornaments. As I had already created several last year 
in my gift 2008, I really didn’t want to repeat them. However, I did decide to incorporate two designs which can be used by themselves as ornaments or as toppers for small glass ornament balls. The loops around the petals can be left alone or beads can be added for a festive look, as can be seen on the ornament on the right.
The designs are all ready andI hope to upload them and create the webpage very very soon.
My best wishes for friends all over the world, a very happy holiday season and a blessed New Year!
Thank you, in advance, Sadia. This time of year is always busy for everyone and I so appreciate you taking your precious time to create special gift designs for us.
As a side note, on Thanksgiving, I work a gold sparkly t-shirt with the lovey Les Femmes Du Monde lady 3a stitched in black. I got so many compliments!
Thanks, again, for your beautiful designs!
