Sew a Cute Christmas Gift

I just discovered one of the cutest books on sewing for this holiday season! One of our staff members left the following book, Sew Pretty Christmas Homestyle, published by David & Charles, on my desk with a note stating "Thought you might like to look at this." She was right, I absolutely loved it. The book contains 35 projects, ranging from easy to complicated, that can be used to decorate your home in a sweet Christmas style. The book begins with a section on techniques, and then devides the rest of the projects by the type of room (Entrance Hall, Living Room, Adult Bedroom, Girl's Room, etc.) and even includes a "Chistmas Outdoors" section. I especially enjoyed the projects for the hats (pg. 21) and angels (pg. 32). Most of the projects may be sewed by hand, which is desirable for a person like me who enjoys bringing sewing projects everywhere I visit! Although the book was originally published in England, I think the projects described are ones that have appeal for American citizens too. Do you have any favorite craft books for the holiday season?
