Just a Few More Ornaments

Deb posted pictures of a few more ornaments I stitched! I am sure I've mentioned it before but my friend Karin and I decided to do an ornament swap this year. We each chose 12 ornaments and stitched them twice. It's just easier to stitch the same thing twice, less kitting and and things go faster the second time. Believe me, after stitching it four times I could do the border on the BOAF ornaments without looking at the chart, LOL. And yes we both took the easy way out and sent all our ornaments to Deb :-).

Wow they are stunning ornaments - I would find it difficult to part with them even though I'd stitched 2! I'd like pairs of them on my tree! Love the little birdies. x

Awesome ornaments Katrina - I love the La D Da angel ones - so darling and such fine finishing. I love your updated blog face - and I'm with GF on Paradise Lost - Can NOT wait for it to arrive. It's a biggy and I'm sure something will fall off my rotation list to make room for this beauty. BTW - thanks for visiting, commenting and becoming a follower of my blog - love to have you! Mel

woolwoman said...

oops - got mixed up on the designer of the little tombie angel - no wonder I couldn't find them - DUH - must have been those La D Da birdies that stuck in my mind. Mel

Michelle said...

Love all the ornaments - you two were soooo smart to split it up like that and stitch two at a time!

Oh Katrina, I *love* your ornaments.

Your ornaments re lovely, I especially love the emery ornaments and the birds little legs...how cute! they re so folk art-ish -- which I kind of like. I am going to have to pull out my JCS magazine. I imagine these came from the most current magazine, correct? Really sweet and I would love to have some new ornaments for a narrow tree for my entry next year. I have two small trees (4 ft) that I would love to put in the house and have only stitched ornaments on. It will take a while to get that accomplished, but what fun, right!?
