It seems like forever since I've posted. So much to do with Christmas just around the corner.
I'm so happy everyone enjoyed seeing the freebie finishes. There are so many talented stitchers. I love to see all their creativity.

Well, I was finally been able to finish up some pieces that I stitched awhile back. It wasn't easy between work, shopping for presents and decorating, but I can now say I'm ready for my TDIPT listing on Tuesday night. Yeah !
Here is St. Noel. With Thy Needle and Thread.
I cutout a frame of black wool, laid it over the stitched piece and then attached them together with a blanket stitch. A lot of precise measuring, but I like that the wool on the front is not pieced together. It's stuffed with 100% cotton batting. I love this stuff. I can't tell you how much I hate polyfill. It's backed it with the same black wool.

Next I finished the Merry Christmas pinkeep by La D Da.
It's backed in a beautiful dark wine overdyed wool and stuffed with sawdust.

I also made a few little hanger ornaments from the Pineberry Lane freebie, Xmas.
They're stitched on Willow Linen with overdyed floss and stuffed with cotton. They each have a rusty wire hanger, bells and homespun tie.
I hope to be listing these in my Etsy Shop.
But for now it's the start of another work week, so off to work I go.
HiHo, HiHo, HiHo :D
Happy Stitching.
