So, now you've got your grid -- how are you going to fill it? Here are a few pictures of some things that are inspiring me lately. You can pull ideas for your squares from so many different places! I've been looking at some of my favorite vintage Christmas cards and Christmas wrapping paper. I think the vintage ornaments in the pic above are going to make an appearance on my sampler!
I just love those little angels, but I'm terrible at stitching faces and actual body parts. So, maybe just wings?
And how about these little angels, gathering up stars!? So cute! Why don't they make wrapping paper like this anymore?
I hope this gave you some inspiration! I can't wait to see everyone's ideas!
