Stitch the Halls!: 12 Decorations to Make for Christmas Paperback – October 7, 2014

I just discovered Sophie Simpson's books recently and I love them. Besides offering stitch designs that I'm looking forward to stitching, the book itself is beautiful to look at. To me, that's an added bonus: beautifully published (from the art to the texture of the paper), beautifully written, and ultimately useful, especially for stitching quick and classy gifts. The price is more than fair as well. A wonderful book!

This book contains very simple designs that are suitable for a beginner. The instructions are excellent especially the finishing directions. I made the 'Miss Prance-A-Lot' wooden peg doll found on page 68.

Great ideas at all levels and detailed instructions for my kids and myself. Love how versatile the ideas are- really original!

Now we're finally talking. After downloading two or three books full of text but no step-by-step pictures, this one makes the job! Cute projects with uncomplicated text and understandable pictures. This is your book!

fun stitching projects, can't wait to hang them up at Christmas!

Delightful book that will keep me busy for months!

The cover illustration is the nicest part of the book. The projects inside didn't live up to my expectations based on the cover. They are just so-so, and not colorful

There are 12 holiday projects in Stitch the Halls and there is a great mix of more classic projects and more modern ones. The patterns are really well designed and so many of them can be used outside of Christmas as well.All of the projects give an estimated completion time which I found extremely helpful. I have a terrible habit of underestimating how long things will take, but I stitched up a polar bear pattern and I found her estimate to be pretty close! There are patterns that take as little as 10 minutes to stitch, so you don't need a ton of time to make some unique Christmas decorations!Stitch the Halls is a really great collection of Christmas projects and the book is beautifully designed. Even if you've never stitched before, Sophie has a wonderful set of basic instructions and a clearly illustrated stitch directory so don't shy away if you're a beginner!

Decoración navideña con un aire distinto a lo que estamos acostumbrados. Me encanta el estilo que tiene. Es muy original.

Please Sophie Simpson, make more of these books! I also loved the garden one. Your style is great! And inspiring!! 😊

This arrived today and I can see that it's another great book from What Delilah Did! This one focuses on Christmas and there are some gorgeous patterns for not just cross stitch but counted embroidery too. I particularly like the perpetual 'paper' chains and the dinky little Christmas sweaters which you can turn in to cards or decorations. There are four sections which cater for all Christmas tastes, from modern styles and colours to more 'cosy' and traditional Christmas themes. The instructions are well thought out and the diagrams are clear. I can't wait to get stitching!

Once again Sophie (Delilah) has produced a beautifully illustrated and written book with wonderful ideas of things to make for Christmas and other occasions. The book is easy to follow and caters for beginners and experienced needlecraft enthusiast alike. A must buy book. Well done Sophie.

I have the others by the same author and like them all. Very clear charts and some great ideas for christmas time.
