Christmas Ornie SAL

This months theme was 'tree' and what a lot of choice there was. I've been admiring Helen's Heirloom Christmas so when i found a similar chart by Sue Hillis Designs in Just Cross Stitch Ornaments 2003 i knew that had to be the one. But, then was the decision how to finish it off ... i wanted to try something different. I'd seen on Su's blog a while back some instructions how to ruffle ribbon so decided to have a go at that.

After a lot of fiddling and a few choice words at the beginning, it did get easier as i went along, here's the finished ornie

Congrats to you all on your wonderful work in your blogs, i really enjoy looking and get such inspiration and ideas from them, thank you for being my stitching friends

    This is such a pretty ornament Julie. I´ve had my eyes set on this one for a while. Might end up doing it one day. I definately need more hours in the day :-) LOL
    Have a wonderful day.
