NEW Peeking Christmas & A Sweet FREE Gift Tag
Dear [FIRSTNAME]
You Asked… I Made Them! 🎄
After I released our Peeking Halloween Coasters, I had so many requests asking:
“Can we please have a Christmas version?” Well… I may have got a little carried away! 😂
What started as a Christmas version of our Peeking Coasters has turned into a wonderfully versatile set and they're definitely not just coasters!
NEW – In the Hoop Peeking Christmas Coasters & More
I really wanted this set to work for as many embroidery machines and hoop sizes as possible, so I've included designs from 4x4 right through to 10x16.
Depending on the size and version you choose, you can make:
- Christmas Coasters
- Hanging Ornaments
- Gift Card & Treat Holders
- Utensil Holders
- Candle Mats
- Christmas Placemats
There are one-hooping versions for the larger hoops, plus two-hooping versions for smaller hoops, allowing you to create a finished project that's larger than your embroidery hoop.
So whether you have a little 4x4 hoop or a lovely big 10x16, there's something in the set for you.

As always, they’re made completely in the hoop, and I have a step-by-step video showing you just how easy they are to make.

An Extra Hoop Size for the Large Applique Horse
I've added an additional 9x14 hoop version, for those of you using Brother machines with this hoop size.

Monique's Rainy Day Stitching!
Monique says, “No better way to spend a rainy day than in the sewing room!” — and I have to agree!
She created these beautiful 6x10 versions of our Floral Mug Rugs, and I love her combination of the soft blue centre with those gorgeous jewel-toned patterned fabrics.
Beautiful stitching, Monique — and definitely a rainy day well spent!

One for the Spider Lovers!
How awesome is Elizabeth’s bag featuring our Large Applique Spider!
The fluffy fabric she’s used for the spider is just perfect — it adds so much texture and makes him look almost a little too realistic!
Such a fun way to use this design, Elizabeth. Thank you for sharing! ❤️

Elizabeth's Beautiful Baby Quilt
Elizabeth has just finished this beautiful quilt for a colleague at work, using our Baby Blocks designs and backing it with lovely soft Minky.
She says the hardest part now is keeping it a secret until her colleague goes on maternity leave — and she’s not sure she’ll last that long!
I can see why she’s so pleased with it. Such a gorgeous handmade gift for a new baby. Beautiful work, Elizabeth! ❤️
