Newbie with February Ornament

Hi, I'm Deborah from Naples, FL, and I've just joined with you. I'm really trying to get my Christmas Ornaments made month-to-month, and; hopefully, we can encourage eachother to keep them flowing from our fingers until 2008! I love what you've all done. For starters, here's the "Rose of Such Virtue" piece I worked in Feb., to go into a triptych. I'll be starting a second piece from Fancy Works to go with it in March! Looking forward to being a part of your group and getting to know you! Your work inspires me.

Emily's February Ornament

A week late, but here is my "February" ornament. I made the pattern myself (available on my blog). It's stitched with DMC 4030. Everyone's ornaments are just beautiful!

Keka - February Ornament

Although we are already in March, finally I have finished the ornament of February. Like in January, I have made one of the little trees of The Prairie Schooler. The fabric I used has been also Jobelan 28c and thread DMC 111. I have made the cord and the tassel with the same thread.

Also I have finished the other tree that I made on January.

Now I will think what can I do for this month. I believe that I will change of style and perhaps I'll make another thing different.

February Ornament!

I so fell in love with this Snow ornament from Whispered by the Wind when I saw it posted here last month that I had to stitch it up right away. I did it in 3 different versions (see my blog), but I am only going to bore you with this one which is stitched on light blue 14 ct Fiddlers cloth with DMC white. I made one alternation to the pattern to make the word "snow" go in the same direction so that the piece can be turned around.

Sorry for the sad photo. I am a bit technologically challenged and do not have the patience to play around with all of the bits to fix it.

Ornaments from the beach

Last week my children had holidays, we decided, to spent them on the beach. There was a lot of time to stitch and - lucky me - I prepared 3 ornaments. Yesterday evening I made the finish. The "christmas chorus" is a little cushion, filled with spices, my favorite ornament is the rendeer, it is stitched in petit point over 1 fabric thread.

The charts are all from JCS 2006, The Workbasket, Waters Edge and Elizabeths design. Stitched with rests of thread (simply Anchor) and beads on a rest of home colored (with coffee) stitching fabric ;-)).

Greetings to everybody, have a nice day!
