Christmas Ornaments, Cross Stitch, Finishes, Works in Progress

Ornie finish … and WIP

Anne S

Here’s my latest ‘small finish’ that I put the final stitches into yesterday (this was my holiday stitching piece that had an attack of the frogs the first night):

Twisted Oaks-Christmas Tree
“Christmas Tree” by Twisted Oaks Designs
from 2005 JCS Christmas Ornie magazine
Stitched on 28ct opalescent white Cashel linen
Some substituted threads – instead of NN Lemon Delight I used
Carrie’s Creation Gold Glow, and instead of DMC 349 for
the hearts I used Carrie’s Creation Scarlet

Also my progress from yesterday after finishing the ornament … I chose something already kitted up and ready to be picked up at a moment’s notice … this is the stitching of part 2 of the Stitching Leporello by Chatelaine … perhaps I will finish it today?  Or perhaps not … 🙂  (sorry for the bad photo but I took it after midnight last night and can’t be bothered taking another one)

  2. The look great Anne. Shame about all of that bad weather on your trip with your Mum. Glad that you got back safely.

  3. Great ornament Anne! I might have to kit that one up for my choice this month.

  4. The ornie looks great, I also enjoyed stitching that one. Anything Chatelaine is going to be wonderful and that’s the way it is looking.

  5. I must be blind – I never noticed that the tree “trunk” for this design is actually a bird. I must stitch it now! 😉

    Lovely stitching as always, and I’m glad you overcame the frogs!

  8. Great ornament finish! I like that one and plan to stitch it myself, at some point. I can’t believe you started part 2 of the Stitching Leporello! It’s been so long since I picked mine up, it’s not even funny. You made great progress on it already!
