More Christmas swap ornaments

Today I will show you a couple more ornaments from our Christmas swap. We have one made by Cindy, sent to Veronica, and one made by Desiree for Kathy. I must say that Hardanger seems very popular this year!

Cindy’s description of her ornament:
“My ornament was stitched on 22 ct. Congress cloth to give it a little stiffness. I used Vikki Clayton threads that I got several years ago. They are silk perles, and have been discontinued, but I love them anyway and use them whenever I can. They are a dream to stitch with.”

When Kathy received her pretty ornament from Desiree, she let me know straight away, and said “It’s so beautiful and Desiree has done a very nice job. I think it is my nicest ornament.”

    Hello,
    I’m enjoying looking at the lovely Christmas ornaments, especially the hardanger ones. Unfortumately mine has still not arrived and the one I posted in early November has not been acknowledged bur heigh ho. Looking forward to more hardanger inspiration. I am making hardanger heart ring cushions for my daughter’s wedding next year.
    Happy new year,
    Barbara
