Christmas ornaments!

I can now show off the three Christmas ornaments I made for my small stitching group!
The first one is from Elizabeth's Designs, A Dog's Christmas. This is an older one I believe, because I don't remember ever seeing it before. Stitched on 18ct davos. I used a different finishing technique on each one, the first being the easiest!


The other two are from JBW Designs, French Country Mitten in red, and A Nordic Mitten (with greeting added) in green. The French Country one has a beaded edge, and the Nordic one has been mounted (front and back) on mat board and whip stitched together.



Now, I only need to finish assembling about 3 dozen more ornies.......maybe next year!

Stitching and Finishing...done!

April and May have been pretty busy this year! Thankfully, over the last week or so I managed to get both some stitching and some finishing done! I finished stitching the Barbara Ana design "Frogscornu" and also finished it off into it's biscornu form. The fabric is a 32ct Silkweaver solo from my stash, as were the buttons. The back side is plain. I love the expression of "frog scorn" on the face of the frog prince!

Last Saturday I also finished up the Hummel pillow for my mom's birthday (it's displayed on her sofa now!). The kit came with backing fabric, but I used the blue floral you see for the back to match her decor.


This last little thing is from Elizabeth's Designs, a chartpack that came with the charm. Stitched it over the weekend and framed it in a small frame I had on hand. The fabric is from my stash as well, 28ct platinum linen.

Now I'm back to working on block 4 of Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow. More to come!
