Stitch this Beautiful Hope Christmas Ornament
Hope. Such a small word. Yet our future, even our present, is nothing without hope. Hope gets us up in the morning, moves us about our duties, helps us plan and turns our plans into actions. We use hope every day, and especially at Christmas.
Hope is so much grander at Christmas. The hope of ages focuses on this one day and makes all of our tomorrows worth living.
How to use it
You get the best of both worlds with this set of ornaments--beautiful and sophisticated designs that are quick and easy to complete.
This is a great project for beginners or youth, while experienced stitchers will be thrilled with how many they can complete in a short amount of time. These are perfect gifts for
- coworkers
- teachers
- friends
- family
--either singly or as a set. Make several to sprinkle about your tree or other decorations or use it along with our other Christmas ornaments. You'll find "Joy," "Hark," "Peace," "Let it Snow!" along with Santa and Candy Canes.
