The Caroling Berries
This series of eight linen berries features classic Christmas carols. Each chartpak also includes a "squared-up" version of the berry design if you prefer that – shown here in a different color palette. You can choose just one or all eight:
Adeste Fidelis, O Tannenbaum, Gloria in Excelsis Deo, Deck the Halls, Silent Night, Jingle Bells, Star of Wonder, and Joy to the World.
Both versions are monochromatic so you can select your favorite combination of fabric, thread, and trims while still accounting for dye lots.
