Joy of Christmas (PJ's In the Hoop)

"Joy" -- What a perfect word for the season! Even though we sometimes get caught up in all the frantic preparations, it truly is one of the most fitting greetings with which to welcome your guests. And we just happen to have a most fitting way for you to extend that greeting as they pass through your door!

This free-standing applique hanging expresses the spirit with symbols of the season--holly and berries, a grand ornament, and of course a bowed candy cane. Each is sewn out separately in the 5x7 hoop--the bow is attached to the cane in the hoop as well to provide dimension. The individual pieces are then attached with ornament hangers or ribbon or wire to form the wall-hanging, which is 18 inches from the top of the cane to the bottom of the ornament. Each piece is stiffened with an inner lining to maintain its shape.

So maybe when the preparations are starting to get you down, you’ll need to take a walk out the door and then step back in to let the words work their magic on you! Have a JOYful season!
