Too late for Christmas but I thought I would get this little ornament finished anyway so that I could put it away. The stitching was actually completed at least a couple of weeks before Christmas but I just never got around to making it up! It's Christmas Heart, a Mary Garry's Sewing Cabin design from the 2000 issue of JCS Ornaments. I wanted it tiny so I've stitched it 1 over 1 on 32ct Wichelt Lambswool Linen using the listed Gentle Art Sampler Threads. For the cording I used DMC 221, which matched up well. I think it turned out really cute done 1 over 1!
I'm now looking forward to making a start on the monthly challenge for February on the
Jayne's Attic forum. The design chosen is Valentine Heart a complimentary design by Kristine Herber
(Dragonfly Stitches). My fabric and thread is ready and I think I've already decided on how I would like to finish it!
Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! :o)
