Holiday

Festive Square Patchwork as Placemat, Runner or Tablecloth
No matter the time of year, we love planning for holiday decorating. Setting a beautiful table is often a focal point. This block can stand alone as a placemat, duplicate in a row as a runner or to build into a square as a tablecloth.
Vintage Christmas Ornaments Embroidery Designs
These five nostalgic designs are based on actual ornaments from the personal collections of the S4H Team. We used fills, flourishes, French knots, and more, plus an optional BOW design can top off any design. In our Etsy Shop.
Double Star Patchwork Table Throw
A departure from a traditional tablecloth or runner, a Table Throw or Table Square offers more flexibility for how it can be placed as well as the table it can fit. The Double Star design is a holiday favorite. Includes a pattern set.
In-the-Hoop Gift Stocking with Snowflake Embroidery
Make our scaled-down stocking as table décor, use several to hold flatware, create an elegant place card or adorn a gift box. It’s made”in the hoop” with just a single line of stitching to finish. Free embroidery download too.
Quilted Flannel Christmas Stocking with Sherpa Cuff
Plaid flannel and sherpa fleece are a favorite combo for bundle-me-up winter scarves, toasty blankets… and a set of rustic Christmas stockings, adding corduroy for the heel/toe accents. Bias cutting accentuates the style.
Quilted Placemats with Leaf Appliqués
The large, flat front of a placemat is like a canvas for your creativity. These beauties combine patchwork, decorative quilting, and bold appliqué with crisp, clean lines of precision stitching and a striking color palette.
Vase Wraps with Felt Rose Accents
Pretty flowers as a gift: Good. Pretty flowers as a gift in a beautifully wrapped vase you made yourself: Great! You need just small scraps of fabric, ribbon, and felt. We include steps for the rolled rose embellishment.
Frightful Faces Halloween Treat Bags
A basic box-bottom bag becomes a top-notch Halloween Treat Bag thanks to three Frightful Faces made from Iron On Patches plus a few bits and pieces from your own scrap stash. Not trick-or-treating? They’re fun as indoor décor too.
Fussy Cut Patchwork Pillow Trio

English Cottage Christmas Stockings
A pretty stand-up ruffle rings the top of each stocking. Its clever reverse seam is hidden by the accent ribbon, keeping the lining smooth and clean. We provide a free pattern download sized to be cut from a single fat quarter.
Table Runner with Deep Ruffled Ends
Home décor fabric is a great choice for table linens. Motifs tend to be bigger and tones more dramatic, plus it’s thicker and more durable – good qualities for any table runner. To soften, we added deep ruffles in a handkerchief linen.
Color Wheel Holiday Tree Skirt
A holiday décor classic, it uses eight generous wedges pieced together to create a kaleidoscope of color and design – a vibrant patchwork of fabrics set off with bold binding and bows. The skirt finishes at apx. 48″ in diameter.

Tote Trio in Small, Medium + Large
Using a tote as “wrapping” for a gift is such a fun idea – it becomes as much of a present as the gift inside. Done in bold, heavy weight fabrics, we offer instructions for our totes in three handy sizes: small, medium, and large.
