Yes....it's time for the You & I ornament exchange.....
BC "The Christmas Collection" -- "Red Holly Berries"
Stitched over 1 on 25 ct Mocha Vintage evenweave
This is one of my favorites! I found this
oldie from Bent Creek in my stash and decided
it would make a cute ornament. Stitched over
one it turned out the perfect size.

Hopefully you know the drill....this "exchange" involves me stitching two ornaments:
one for me and one for a lucky follower.
And so....this month's lucky
"exchange" partner is......
Sharon
It's not too late...if you want to be my
"exchange" partner for next month, just
make sure you're a follower!

I can't believe the response I got on my "collection" of tuckaway pillows.
I knew you would understand!
Based on some of the comments and emails I received, I thought I would share a few tidbits.
All of these tucks were made in 2001 & 2002
( used to do a local craft show in my hometown)
...so I have been lugging these things around
for all of the these years. For obvious reasons, I haven't made any in years.
The best part of this finishing is you can adjust the size to make them smaller, which are perfect for ornaments, or larger.
CyberStitchers has this neat calculator and a tutorial with pics. If you haven't tried them, you really should. My sewing skills are
not that great so if I can do it anyone can!

Hello ~
ReplyDeleteI have been a lurker of your blog for some time and can't stop thinking of the cute ornament you made using BC The Christmas Collection ~ Red Holly Berries. Is this an 'older' leaflet/chart? What year? Might it still be available anywhere? Any help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
