I Love these Christmas Trees

They could be made of any thing, large or small.  Beads, Chenille Stems, T-Shirt yarn, Paper or Rick Rack.  They can hang or stand.  The Cone Calculator would be useful here.

DIY Gingerbread House Baking Pans

Another object of the invention is to provide, in a decorative house of the character indicated, a wall or roof element which includes a shallow pan that is made from a thin metal, metal foil or similar permanent material and which pan has wall flanges from which outstand tabs that are used in securing that element to other similar elements.

Vintage 1941 Christmas Stencils

These are Workbasket designs for cards and wrapping paper. The only reason I think they are from 1941 is that there is a page from the Pennsylvania Farmer in the original envelope. I think they would be great for windows too. Click the pics for larger versions.

This little deer is so cute but the spots on the rump are a problem to cut into a stencil. I think freehanding them is best, even finger prints could work.

Nice tree. Love the bow detail.

This next one is my favorite. Those birds are great.

The Perfect Bird Pattern

From fellow Oregonian, Terry Grant of And sew it goes…..

"I started making birds way back at the end of 2007.  I made more. Then I started selling them on eBay. Then Pokey Bolton asked me to submit an article and pattern for a Quilting Arts special magazine called Quilt Festival Quilt Scene. Then she asked me to tape a segment for Quilting Arts TV and show how they are made. The pattern is still up on the Quilting Arts TV web site here, and apparently people are still making them. Here is how they looked in Quilting Arts magazine."
