Welcome To A World Where Christmas Magic Comes Alive... One Nutcracker At A Time
If you've ever wanted to bring a playful, whimsical Nutcracker family to life with your embroidery machine — characters that feel straight out of a beloved Christmas storybook — you are going to love this collection as much as I loved creating it.
For years, a single little Nutcracker ornament has sat on top of the cabinet that holds my fabric stash. He smiles down at me all year long… quietly nudging:
"When will you create our collection?"
This year — the magic began.
And the result? A joyful, build-your-own Nutcracker experience that feels a little like paper dolls, a little like childhood Christmas memories, and a whole lot like pure stitching delight.
Introducing
The Nutcracker Collection
A Collection Designed for Playfulness, Possibility, and Pure Joy
At the heart of The Nutcracker Collection are mix-and-match Nutcracker characters that you can assemble in dozens of different ways — 64 combinations!
Each Nutcracker is built from:
- One of 4 different heads
- One of 4 different torsos
- One of 4 different sets of legs
You can mix-and-match to your heart's content!
They come in two sizes:
- 10" tall
- 15" tall
That's 128 total Nutcracker variations you can create.
Whether you're stitching for your grandchildren, decorating your home, or gifting the most adorable placemats and wall hangings, this is a collection that invites play, creativity, and smile-after-smile stitching.
A Peek At The Palette
To give you a feel for the colors and personalities you can bring to life, here's a small sampling of what's possible:
We chose whimsical blues, greens, and pinks… warm silvers and skin tones… playful, modern pops of color.
Each Nutcracker can have their own personality — bold, sweet, classic, modern — you choose.
