If you’re anything like me, you’re looking at these adorable Lenski illustrations and thinking they would make wonderful embroideries. I would love to stitch any of the horizontal patterns on the yoke of a little girl’s dress or maybe on the bottom of an apron — curve and enlarge the design and you could embroider or appliqué a tree skirt. The trees with the little animals would be cute on Christmas stockings or apron pockets/bibs. The two vertical illustrations could be adapted for a stocking as well, or some of the small elements could be stitched on napkin corners. There are so many possibilities. Click on the images to make them full size.
Thank you for the Lois Lenski illustrations. I love them.
These are wonderful! Full of Christmas memories!
Love Lois Lenski, thanks for sharing Martha!!! 🙂

I love these! My fav is the one with the people in the windows.
So sweet!
These are wonderful! What ideas you inspire. I most love the line of kids looking out the windows, that would be so cute curving around a tree skirt like you suggested.
That long vertical design really makes me laugh. As secretary to a boss in charge of many hospital committees, I attended a LOT of meetings with her to keep the minutes. I sometimes got opportunities to…uhm…sharpen my doodling skills. And my doodles always took the form of vertical columns of tiny figures mingling and marching up the margin of the notepad. A line as long as the one above would have been a charming doodle but indicated a very, *very* long meeting! 😀
Aww, just love these!! Thanks for sharing!! xo Heather
These are great!
Beautiful designs! I love the little animals by the trees the best.
Thank you for sharing these designs and all the inspiration you provide throughout the year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
