May Ornament

"Quiet Night" by Erica Michaels Designs
JCS 2007 Ornament Issue
Stitched on Polstitches "Welsh Mist" (Dragon Shades) 28 count Jazlyn with DMC threads. Subbed the called for Rainbow Splendor with two strands of Dinky Dyes' "Icicle" stranded cotton (I'm pretty sure this was from a collaboration pack) and one strand of Petite Treasure Braid.

July and August finishes :-)

Yes, I'm a little behind. :-) I haven't finished off an ornament since June. Time sure did get away from me. But I have two finishes to report, Toy Shop Sign from CHS using the recommended 36 count Lakeside Linens with the DMC conversion and a tree (I can't remember the name) from Erica Michaels using the recommended 40 count Lakeside Linens using assorted Crescent Colours cotton floss both from the 2007 JCS Ornament issue. I have three more to finish off this week so I'll be posted those later. I met my goal of 12 finished ornaments in 2007! Thanks for such a wonderful stitch-a-long.

Not Exactly an Ornament, but Christmas-y.

Although I did not finish an ornament last weekend, I have been working on this design, Random Thoughts of Winter by Erica Michaels for Project Spectrum. I did make some extensive changes in fabric and threads. Information about what I used can be found in my blog. It will be framed rather than made into the suggested pillow. Some of these motifs would probably make some cute ornaments.
