Cold enough for you yet? Even here in Vancouver, BC we are getting a touch of the deep freeze. We have even had temps almost into the minus double digits. Yes……I know that is not as low as many of our janomelife viewers but cold nonetheless.  Point is…….it is delightfully warm sewing weather inside!

And our Christmas greetings  to you are warm.

This 3D Christmas angel is purchasable on www.janome-embroidery.com. She comes in a set of 3 different styles and I am liking the concept of being able to buy these well digitized designs in my pjs at home! No need to go out in the ice and snow. I have called her my “sugarplum angel”.

Christmas ornaments in a wire basket standing on a hexagonal table topper: use a border print for the wide hexagon border and use an embroidery, applique or fussy cut a fabric design for the center part of the top.

And what would Christmas be without candy canes and gingerbread men? We did applique’s on a simple little holiday pillow.

Our happy, jolly tree in the Janome Vancouver office.
