Here are a couple of Ornament finishes. The little Quaker square is a combination of a border and then I just stitched off the top of my needle for the interior. Fun things can happen with you venture off the top.

Then comes one of the LHN’s of 2010, which I finished stitching last night around the big ole table with a few of my Stitching Sisters. Once I finished it I moved right along to Fa La La again from LHN. I have no idea how these will be finished but I am thinking for all of the 2010 LHN’s I may use the same fabric and finish off the same way but who know what will really happen.
For now I am committing to working on ornaments on Wedstitchday evenings when we all get together simply because most of the other projects I am working on are a tad on the larger size and require more effort to haul everything along with me.
As always
keep An eye for threads & Be always in Stitches

LOVE the idea of getting a large piece of linen to do all the LHN ornies on! And then finishing them the same. Makes them a set. Oh, you made my mind work a little harder this morn!
ReplyDeleteJayne,
ReplyDeleteWow I love the little quaker square. It really stands out using over 1. LHN looks cute. Congrats on your finishes!
I like what you are saying about stitching ornaments on a certain day each week...That way you know you will still be getting to work on ornies, yet have ample time to devote to the wip's.... I may have to adopt that~~
ReplyDeleteI personally want to thank you for initiating this blog for folks like me who have been putting off finishing some of their older pieces./.. When it came to me in the form of a "challenge", I knew I would be more likely to put my nose to the grindstone....Thanks!
Take care, Faye
