YEAH ..... I can post pictures again. I just don't like computer issues and it will aggravate me more than anything.
I have 2 ornament finishes but really I am only going to show you one today. The stitching is finished but I will do the actual finishing tomorrow so really.....I should wait til then right???!!! Naaaaaa.......I will show you one but the other I will show later on because it is for my Shepherd's Bush Retreat Ornament exchange and I don't want to give anything away just yet.
This is LHN Good Tidings from Diane's 2011 ornament series. I have LOVED this ornament ever since it came out and now I have it stitched up! WOOOHOOOO
I'm still deciding on whether to finish it off as a stuffed ornament or to put foam core behind it and make a flat ornament. Hmmmm decisions decisions!! I find it sooo much easier to just sew a backing fabric to it and then apply a cording around it. Maybe it is because sewing it makes it 'finished' much quicker than mounting it on foam core. I'll have to see what mood I'm in tomorrow when I get around to finishing it.
I'm off to stitch on my Tulips Praise for my German Yahoo Group. I'm on part 3 and really love this chart as I find it easy to xstitch when I need some easy xstitching.
I have sooooo many other projects that I want to xstitch also. Samplers, ornaments, smalls, etc. Now to find time.....
Happy Stitching everyone!
Lovely stitching Brenda - look forward to seeing your 'final' finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I understand what you mean about finishing them off as pillows, it is so much faster. Instant gratification. ;)
