Today the first ornament pattern releases to members of the Holiday Stitch-along Ornament Club!

Set the tone for the season with a white dove, symbolic of love and peace. The Peace Dove Ornament is hand-stitched in white felt with an embroidered olive branch on each wing. This beautiful bird dangles from a string of beads adding a touch of light and sparkle.

Believe it or not this ornament was inspired by a Kleenex box. Ok, that sounds funny. It was inspired by the felt artwork I created for a Kleenex box design a few years ago. The pristine white bird with light blue stitching and a weensy touch of bling is exactly what I wanted to recreate with this ornament design.

The next ornament pattern in the club will be released on October 7th. You can join the club at any time by registering here. The individual Peace Dove PDF pattern will be available for non-club members in my pattern shops this Friday, September 13th.
