Quilt and sew for the holidays with these Christmas projects.
Hi! Stephanie from Swoodson Says; I have completely fallen down the rabbit hole of DIY Christmas ornaments this year and have been creating some fun patterns.

With all of the Christmas shopping and cooking that has to get done during the holiday season, you might have forgotten to add someone to your shopping list: your furry friends, of course!
