March Ornament

I got an early start on my ornament this month--this one is actually going to be a two month project, I think. I want to stitch a back for it as well. This was fun to work on. It's amazing how much detail you can get into something that is less than 3 square inches!



Project: One of the squares from Red Nine, A Mon Ami Pierre.

Fabric: 28 count evenweave, not sure what kind.

Quarterly Ornament report

I've been bad. I've been stitching and not posting here and then yesterday found I couldn't, so I want to thank Nicki for the renewed invite she sent me (THANKS NICKI). I am trying to do an ornament a month all year and so far so good. As a non-serious stitcher, I'm inspired by all the talent I see here and with each ornament I see, I find myself saying "I want to stitch that one."

MARCH: Christmas Basket Ornament/Theron Traditions(JCS orn1999). One Anchor thread over two made this a major quickie.

FEBRUARY: Winter's Eve/Country Cottage Needleworks (JCSorn2006) Changes galore and I plan to stitch it two more times, all different. The trim on my own house is raspberry and all my moons are blue because I used to have a website called "Once in a Blue Moon"

JANUARY: Spruce Fob/Heart's Content Kit. I'm not sold on this being an ornament just yet, but we'll see.

February SAL

I joined in Feb but this is the first time I have been able to post my pictures. I did the Lizzie Kate joy ornament. I am hoping to finish them into ornaments this week on my days off.

My Monthly Ornament

Hi .. I joined this blog last month but didn't get my February ornament done until last night. It's from Angel Stitchin' JCS 2006 ornament magazine .. called Christmas Joy. I'm not sure how I'll finish it .. might look really cute as a pillow with the turned down corners? I've really enjoyed this blog and seeing all the wonderful ornaments everyone is stitching .. and the great finishing techniques!

Belated February Ornament

I finished stitching my February ornament. It's a week late because I sliced my index finger open right before the last SAL weekend(Feb. 23).



Kit: Mary Englebreit--from the $1 bin at Michaels
