Schedule Reminder: The Studio is closed from Dec 3 through December 18, and I have limited access to email. If you email and don’t hear back from me, that’s why. Please leave all non-urgent communications until after December 18th. Thanks! Blog posts will continue through Christmas as planned, though, and there are a few other scheduled posts for you, too!

Good morning and welcome to Part 5 of Twinkle, Twinkle, this year’s Christmas ornament stitch-along here on Needle ‘n Thread.

If you are just joining us, you’ll find all the previous installments of this stitch-along listed here in the Project Index for Twinkle, Twinkle.

For members of the Needle ‘n Thread Community on Patreon, you’ve already received the PDF that covers all this information. You also have all the video that takes you through the steps in this lesson.

If you are interested in video instruction for this entire project, videos are available for the “Avid Stitcher” membership level, over in the Needle ‘n Thread Community on Patreon ($5 / month). If you’re not interested in a membership, you can also purchase the individual videos that you’d like to view. You’ll find the videos listed under the Twinkle, Twinkle Collection on my membership page. As the videos are published over there, they will be listed in that collection, and there will be an option to purchase access to the individual videos.

Today, we’re going to bead the background of the ornament, and then we’ll prep it for the finishing process.

Ready?

Welcome to Thanksgiving Week! Here in the we celebrate Thanksgiving Day this Thursday, which means that many folks enjoy a nice four day weekend that kicks off pre-holiday preparations.

Here at Needle ‘n Thread, we’re no exception! Anna and I (she’s my niece, for those who don’t know) will be enjoying the day with family. But – never fear! – we have prepared some Thanksgiving entertainment for you, in the form of an I-Spy puzzle. So please look for that on Thursday, with our Happy Thanksgiving Greetings!

Today, we’re going to cover the rest of the embroidery on the star, in our Twinkle, Twinkle stitch-along. Since this is a relatively small project, each phase of of the embroidery doesn’t take too long – and this lesson is no exception.

For your convenience, I have linked a downloadable PDF color & stitch layout guide below. Keep reading, to download this convenient guide!

If you’re a member of the Needle ‘n Thread Community on Patreon, you’ve already received these instructions as a downloadable PDF.
