Sometimes, even simple makes a statement, as with this Bauble by Stitch Delight. You can always stitch up a pillow cover (get a free pattern here). If you are pressed for time, purchase one and add embroidery.
Designs become even more elegant when stitching with metallic thread. If metallics make you nervous, check out these tips for taming metallic threads.
Personalized Items
Adding a monogram to any gift makes it even more special. Use a pretty holiday font, like Christmas Alphabets 012 by One by One Embroidery.
Stitch fonts on felt for personalized ornaments, add them to a wine bottle bag for a classy presentation, embellish a plush throw, or simply stitch and pop into a pretty frame.
