My Simple Christmas Calendar
Children love Christmas and all that it brings. When my children were small (more than 25years ago) I made a patchwork and cross-stitch advent calendar where I filled 24 individual bags with chocolates! These were ribbon tied and attached to the wall quilt using velcro. I also made large Santa sacks with each having a different cross stitch design at the top. They very quickly became a family tradition. Now my grand daughters enjoy them!
In the picture on the left I have reproduced my Christmas calendar in EQ7. * The white border was made using a solid strip of velcro, so that my children could place the chocolate filled bags on it with ease and in any creative style they liked. * The centre panel was a cross-stiched panel but you can use anything you like eg, Christmas panel, Christmas fabric, embroidery etc.
* I made 24 individual Christmas bags that were each embroidered with a number from 1 to 24. Each bag measured 4" x 5 1/2". I sewed on a wee square of velcro onto the back of each bag as can be seen in the photo. The ribbon was placed under the velcro square first. The ziplock plastic bag was used to ensure my fabric bags stayed chocolate free! At the beginning of each day in December the children took it in turns to open the appropriate bag and give out the chocolates! They enjoyed it immensely and so did my husband and I.
