oh my goodness! how are we already a week into November? Halloween zipped by then we spent sunday-wednesday decorating the shoppe. followed by our final event of the year, our Hometown Holiday Road Trip this past weekend. now we can enjoy the atmosphere, ponder 2026 projects and collections, and work more on the new space.
as for Christmas this year…
we’ve been working on a few new Christmas projects…nothing is quite finished but one of them features the super sweet Frost and Flurry collection and the other is a new version of our Cherry Chablis…a new preprinted center and delightful coordinating borders. i also have the project we featured during our Hometown Holiday Road Trip. That is kitted up and once i take a few more pictures i’ll get that online…it is a quick little table topper, so a perfectly sweet (and SUPER quick) Christmas project.
the floor move (hopefully the last in our current location) always revitalizes our creativity and new collection combinations are happened upon accidentally and other collections get a much needed fluffing and maybe that perfect pattern comes to mind to showcase it.
if you are able to venture in to see the trees and take in the magic of the season…the Christmas fabric has been divided up. i am generally a fan of keeping fabric genres together, but i am loving how the Christmas genres seemed to just fit where they are now. it is probably my most favorite move yet.
and as always…new fabric arrived just before we started our floor move, so that was first.
introducing…
Ambiance by 3 Sisters. a collection of classic florals and tonals in their classic palette of midnight, eucalyptus, stone, rose, and porcelain. you could definitely pick and choose to create a curated group of prints perfect for Christmas stitching…
Ambiance can be found here.
a little Christmas inspo since 3 sisters didn’t release a christmas collection for 2025.
in love with that top viney eucalyptus floral!
this red bundle is a combo of past 3 Sisters Christmas collections (Poinsettia Plaza & A Christmas Carol)…would love to pair these with the Ambiance Eucaluptus and Porcelain.
new fabric is arriving today…Hushed Hues…a wonderful collection of washed out pastels. i can hardly wait to share these!
happy stitching!
