Winter Love - Sam Sarah Designs

JCS 2007 Ornament Issue - Winter Love by Sam Sarah Designs
stitched over 2 on 25 ct. linen with DMC threads

I finished this by whipstitching most of the edges together with beads, then slipping a piece of cardboard into the pocket and closing off the top. I originally intended to make a little pillow like they did in the magazine, but I thought it looked nicer a little flatter. On the back, I used the same fabric and stitched our name and 2007 in red thread. I didn't use the recommended buttons - stitching in the hearts instead and skipping the cardinal button altogether.

June ornie

This month's ornie is "Winter Love" by SamSarah Design Studio from JCS 2007 Christmas Ornaments. I stitched it on black for the simple reason that it was the only piece I had that was close in count and size to stitch this one on. Because it was stitched on black, I changed the hat on the snowman on the right from DMC 3799 to a dark green so that it would not get lost on the fabric.

March ornament finish

I decided to stitch a SAM SARAH chart for my March ornament. I am not sure as to how I will finish this. I have several to finish up. I think I will make them into pin keeps. Have a great APRIL! hugs wrapped in stitches laurel

Winter Love Finished

Here is "Winter Love" finished into a pillow-style ornament. I had originally intended to make this into a tuck-pillow ornament, but after I trimmed my stitching I realized I didn’t really leave enough room for the "border" that characterizes a tuck-pillow so I just fell back on a regular pillow-style ornament instead. Turned out cute, no?

Winter Love

Hello All! I am new to this Christmas Ornament SAL, but I joined as a way to keep myself motivated for a Christmas Ornament Challenge that I have set for myself.

Today I finished the stitching for my first ornament. It is "Winter Love" by SamSarah Design Studio and can be found in the JCS 2007 Christmas Ornament issue. I currently don't have any fabric to finish it into the tuck-pillow ornament that I have planned, but as soon as I get some I will.

Hi! It's been a long time since I had a post here but I have stitched a couple of ornaments recently.

I have to wash and press the second ornament, so I'll post a photo in a couple of days! Thanks for looking!

All is Calm

Here is my effort for this month - All is calm (designed by Sam Sarah Design Studio/Just Another Button Company) from the 2003 issue of Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornamants. It was a pretty quick stitch so I ended up doing the finishing this weekend too.

All was not calm this morning as I tried to interpret the finishing instructions and failed repeatedly. So the finishing has been fudged a bit. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out in the end.
