Stitched with DMC threads on white 32 count opalescent lugana which I then dunked in coffee :)

This is for an exchange hence the white personalisation removal blob!

2008 JCS Ornament by Shepherd's Bush

This years JCS Shepherd's Bush ornament all stitched. Not sure how I will make it up as yet. I did change the fabric as the listed fabric was very dark and did not show up the darker colours all that well.

Stitched by Kath in NZ

Two ornaments

I stitched these two ornaments while I was on vacation during the week of October 13th. Both are from the JCS 2008 Ornament Issue.

Winter Wishes Ornie

This is my first post here! I completed this about a week ago, but I have been totally busy. I enjoy decorating for Christmas with a lot of winter/snowman themes...so I can keep everything out longer. :-) The backing fabric is Debbie Mumm and the pattern is Lizzie Kate. I stitched this on 28ct Monaco one over one.

October Ornament

Peace Ornament

Here is my ornament for October. It is called "Peace" and it was designed by Linda Culp Calhoun and adapted for needlework by Donna Vermillion Giampa, and was taken from the 1995 Leisure Arts book "Timeless Ornaments".

Mini Biscornu

I found some adorable freebie "Mini-Biscornu" Patterns from Floss Box. I added a simple border, because I thought that the biscornu would be too hard to sew together with the evenweave fabric if it wasn't a little bigger. The button is vintage, from a collection of buttons I found at a craft sale.

November and December Ornies

Hi All. I completed November and December ornies as this time of year is becoming busy for me, so I wanted to finish up my ornies for this year before it ends! :) Everyone is doing such wonderful stitching. I can hardly wait until next year!! Happy Winter everyone!! Anne

October Ornament

This is an adaptation of "The Cat's Whiskers Studio" Ornament in the 2008 JCS issue. Instead of coloured threads, I used DMC white and Delica silky rainbow beads.

Britty Kitty finish

I started this one on Friday and finished it in the car on they way home today from Southern Ohio. It was a beautiful chilly day with lots of sunshine. I just wish I could finish these up in the car! I am on the road a lot. Have a great day stitching Laurel

New finish

Here is a just finished, and still needs a Jesus button for the manger. The button was ordered yesterday and it should be here in a week or so. This is a Lil' Britter by Brittercup Designs. I have been so busy crocheting that I have neglected my cross stitching. I hope to have another Brittercup done by next week. Have a great day stitching Laurel

Christmas Tree hanger

Here is my october christmas ornament - The Christmas Tree. You can get chart and instructions for stitching in my freebies blog. I'll be happy if anyone find it usefull.
Have a nice weekend!

My Favorite Ornament

Hello all!

My name is Eva, from the Chicago area and I am a new contributor, and look forward to sharing my ornament finishes with you. I have been stitching since I was about 6 or 7 years old and have done all forms of needlework, but counted cross stitch is my passion. Please feel free to visit my blog to see my WIPs and finishes.

I have stitched a number of ornaments already this year, but they have not been ornamentified yet, so I will show you one that was finished last year. I made 18 or of these and gave them away last year. It is the Victorian Christmas Tree ornament by Sue Hillis, and was in one of the Just Cross Stitch Ornament Issue, I just don't remember which one.

quaker snowman

My friend Marianne (of Midnight Stitching) handed out this design at a recent retreat and I think it's so cute! I'm using this one for an exchange, but I'll be stitching it again for our tree because my daughter really likes it, too. Oh-Mar said it would be part of a future release, but I don't know which one or when. Anyway that's one more on my 2008 ornie list, bringing me up to a grand total of three! LOL

Vacation stitching

I'm on vacation this week so I'm hoping to get a few ornaments done. Here is my first one. It's stitched on 14 count white Aida using DMC 321.

Found this pattern on borduurblog and thought I'd try one of them out. There are quite a few and you can design your own also.

I will be sending mine to Crossstitch for Charity as part of the Christmas Ornament campaign.

Quick quick,,, had the time so I did October's ornie for the SAL already! It is one of the snowmen from 74 snowmen pattern by Mary Ellen Yanich from Patternsonline.

September Ornament

JCS Ornament Issue 2008

This is probably old news by now, but the JCS Ornament Issue for 2008 is available. I haven't seen it in chain stores like Michael's or AC Moore, but my LNS had it, so I caved and bought a copy yesterday. You should also be able to order it from your favorite ONS. If for some reason you cannot get it, please let me know and I'll be happy to help you get one.

Even more exciting is the fact that one of our fellow stitchers, Monique, has an ornament in the issue. Monique is the fabulous woman behind My Mark Designs, so be sure to check out her ornament in this issue. Congratulations, Monique!

September Ornie - Caught Up!

Hi all! I did this cute little bear today from a needlemagic kit designed by Wanda Zellers. It is my September ornie so I am finally caught up. And of course, it is great to have one more ornie to give to a friend this year! :)
