Holiday Mantels for Every Season












A Mantel for All Seasons

Don’t have a fireplace to hang your Christmas stockings – No problem!!  Make this quilt wall hanging and you’ll have a cozy hearth to hang the stockings with care.  This pattern uses fabric tone together with a centered diminishing perspective to give a 3D effect.

You can decorate the mantle with your own creations together with the embroidery package to create the fire and season changing accessories for your fireplace.  The embroidery package includes the fire, 4 seasonal wreaths, an assortment of candles, flower elements, Santa coming down the chimney, milk and cookies, fireplace tools, a Christmas stocking, and a picture frame to hold your photo.

The embroideries to decorate the mantel / fireplace are all created free standing so that they can be changed as the seasons change. Mix and match with an assortment of accessories such as candles, flowers, and bows.  Use old-fashioned dress makers pins to attach the pieces where you like them.
