Today the first pattern of the 2016 Holiday Stitch-along Ornament Club is revealed! Club members, check your inbox for the link to download your pattern.

Stitch up this adorable birdhouse ornament to adorn your tree. The friendly cardinal, perched on the roof, is ready for the holidays with a holly trimmed home. Felt, floss and a little mini-ricrac makes this a fun, easy project you’ll love to make and give.

This ornament is loosely based on my Felted Birdhouse design from a few years ago, due to popular demand! I shrink-dinked it, updated the details and topped it off with a cute little cardinal. This is such a fun little ornament to make and it’s easily customized. You could make a whole little village!

If you haven’t joined the Club and want to stitch along, you can join here at any time! You’ll receive all pattern that have been released up until the point that you register. New patterns come out every 2 weeks throughout October and November. Read more about it on this FAQ page.

Don’t forget to share your finished ornaments in the Facebook Group! Happy Stitching!
