Whew...I finished them just in time!
LK "Peace*Joy*Love"2002 JCS Ornament issue
18 ct aida w/DMC
Back of ornament I decided a few weeks ago that I would stitch my staff an ornament. Since there are eight, I had to pick something quick, simple, and that I wouldn't get sick of after the second finish! I change the colors and decided to finish them with a beaded edge after Staci's wonderful post about her beaded edges. Let me say...I have a new finishing technique and best of all it doesn't require the sewing machine! I am proud to say they are wrapped and ready to go...truly a first for me!
Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season thus far and many happy stitches!
Your ornies are just beautiful! I also read how to finish with beads by Staci and I just loved the idea! I tried it with a fob that I made for a secret Santa gift and after half way I realized how small the fob was and had to take out the beads because they over powered the fob lol but I will definitely use it again in the future.
