The Bells on Christmas Day by Blackbird Designs

The checkerboard house is the first thing that caught my eye and made this a "must buy" book. The Bells on Christmas Day is a beautiful sampler, with a simple border, and interesting motifs. You'll also get the patterns for Friendship Gathering Thimble Bag (sweet berries and house - it would look beautiful framed), Singing On Its Way (with a dove soaring over the wee house), The Unbroken Song (a miniature sampler for your sampler wall), and Wild and Sweet (to turn into a needle keep or frame).
