Spool Tree Ornament

Since most of these have arrived at their destination, I can now post a picture.

This ornament was designed by Sue Hillis and can be found in the 2007 JCS Ornament Issue. It is stitched on 32 count antique white linen, with DMC floss.

Two ornament finishes

Before the magazines were published, Sue Hillis asked me to find some fabric and fibres for these two ornament designs. Her local model stitcher had already stitched them on 25 count fabric over 1, but Sue thought they were a bit big, and wanted them done on 28 count fabric.I found the fabric she wanted and brought it to her, and then, silly me, I volunteered to stitch them. Only at the time I didn't realize they were to be done "over one". The stitching wasn't so bad, but the frogging was terrible!

Anyway, the charts can be found in the Just Cross Stitch Ornament Preview Issue and in the Ornament Issue itself. They were done on 28 count Lugana, on white and Victorian Red, with GAST - chalk, and WDW - garnet.

I have sent them off to Sue and she will "finish" them, she is much better at it than I am.

Now I have my primary blog on Wordpress, I keep forgetting to come over to the Blogger dashboard and upload piccies to the Blogger blogs ... I'm not updating with the latest ornies I've stitched since my last update in January - I have stitched an ornie every month, just keep forgetting to post! All these ornies are from the 2007 JCS Christmas ornament issue.
