In the meantime, here’s a sneak peek of one of my favorite projects in the book, a vision collage. Sara suggests using this helpful exercise to create a clear picture of who they are as a couple and to capture the details that will make the wedding day a reflection of their partnership.

A Priceless Wedding covers all the basics of planning the big day including choosing a venue, finding a wedding dress, planning the ceremony and more. But the real focus is on creating a unique celebration that ‘s truly meaningful for each bride and groom.

If you’re putting together Christmas sewing projects, this free Poinsettia embroidery design from Ann The Gran is a really handy one to save. It’s a machine embroidery design from Contributor, sized at 3.64″ x 3.67″, with 14,949 stitches, and it fits a 4″ x 4″ hoop. It’s also offered in a wide range of formats including ART, DST, EXP, HUS, JEF, PCS, PEC, PES, SEW, VIP, and XXX.

What I like about this one is that it feels classic and easy to use. A poinsettia always works at Christmas, and because this design is fairly compact, it would be lovely on napkins, tea towels, gift bags, table runners, or even the corner of a festive cushion. It has enough detail to look pretty, but it’s still small enough to be practical. That last bit is my take based on the listed size and the preview image on the page.

It’s one of those good stash-building freebies. Not huge, not fussy, and very easy to picture on all sorts of holiday projects. If you like collecting free Christmas embroidery designs, this one is definitely worth downloading. Ann The Gran also tags it with keywords like Xmas, Flower, and Floral embroidery designs, which fits the style nicely.
