Ornament Time

I'm the recipient of Becky's ornament exchange group's April round, and Vonna got a head start on things, and sent me this beauty. It landed in my mailbox this past Saturday. It's lovely, don't you think?



Our recipient for March was Jill. She had requested that there be a pine tree somewhere in the design that we stitched for her. There are no shortage of pine trees in The Prairie Schooler's Christmas designs, so I chose this cute design from their leaflet Old World Santas. My daughter suggested the blanket stitched edge. I think it really adds to the design.



Thank you for stopping by.

Both ornaments are keepers. Great job. Is that a Dutch Iris? It's a real beauty.

Your daughter has a very good eye for finishing things, because the blanket stitch does look lovely. As does the stitching, of course :o)
