Shmelf the Liebs Elf & the velcro Menorah Wall Hanging

I am behind on posting projects completed for Hanukkah on my Bernina 880! 

These multistep ITH embroideries involve 

MANY STEPS... 

(over many days...)

but in the end, 

are SOOOOOOO worth the result!

I decided to create my own version of 

Shmelf the Elf!

I found the pattern at Designs by JuJu!

I HATE Turning & Stuffing those thin pieces!

And Here He Is... (as posted on instagram)

Meet my version of A Holiday Elf. Created on my Bernina 880 with a ITH design by designs by juju called “Elvin the Elf”. He is my version of a Hanukkah Elf! I look forward to the mischief he may share when the grandkids visit!  #elvintheelfinthehoop #designsbyjuju#bernina880 #hanukkahelf

Another project for Hanukkah, 

I completed:

Is the 

LIGHT THE MENORAH WALL HANGING

And I posted to Instagram like this:

I finally got around to creating the LIGHT THE MENORAH WALL HANGING by SCISSORTAIL STICHES on my Bernina 880. It will be a fun share with the grand babies- placing the velcro backed candles in place during the eight nights of Hanukkah.  #scissortailstitches#ithembroidery #hanukkahdecor #bernina880plus

We are giving our DD her first dewing machine (as requested) this year for Christmas!

This was my final embroidery project of the season!

12/21...

a few weeks later... 

The grandchildren & Hanukkah arrived!

We search for him each morning, 

and he wanders off overnight 

to hide elsewhere and be found next day!
