This exquisite ornament was stitched by Jenna Tale of a Shooting Star and I was one of the lucky ones who won one of her prized projects! She had several offered to her blog readers. This is PANSY designed by Denise Harrington Pratt of Amaryllis Artworks; from the Just Cross Stitch, Christmas Ornaments 2004 Magazine. Isn't it beautiful? The stitching and finishing are outstanding. It is hanging in my Creative Corner right now. Jenna has a very cool blog with loads of pictures & needlechat.
This one, stitched by Grammy K for my DH + I. IN A STABLE designed by Teri Richards & Tina Herman of Shepherd's Bush Printworks; from the Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments 2004 Magazine.
Grammy K was a busy stitcher & sent this to Tori (each of my sons has an ornament, too - but are sound asleep right now & I don't want to enter their rooms and wake them just yet!) SEASONS GREETINGS designedby Nancy Boyarsky of Glory Bee; from the Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments 2005 magazine.
Oh they are lovely, I especially like the pansy one

ReplyDeleteWow, you have some lovely new ornaments!
ReplyDeleteLinen and Lace is beautiful - I've always been partial to Drawn Thread designs. Perennial Garden would be a lovely design to stitch too - did you see Karen's when she finished it?
Congrats on the ornie win :)
