Christmas Ornament Swap Rnd 3 from Meghan

I received this handsome fella in the mail today from a young stitcher, Meghan, for the Christmas Ornament Swap exchange. Meghan is a wonderful stitcher and finisher. The design is a JBW design. Earlier this year I stitched the fella in red. So, I now have two in Christmas colors. I just love this one. Thank you so much Meghan. He's a real beauty!

First two ornaments

Here's the first of the ornaments for my great-nieces. I took quite a few liberties with It's Daffycat's Holly reindeer . I think they turned out pretty cute. Must get them in the mail tomorrow since I don't know if I'll get to see them at Christmas. These little girls live in Kansas, so the weather always makes their Christmas visit iffy. My camera batteries died as I finished this snap. I also signed the backs. I'll show it back on the other two since they are all alike. The great-nephew's is finished, now just one to go.

Have a great week. Tuesday I go on a bank trip to Ponca City to see the sights and have a bite to eat. Hope it's not too cold.

As soon as I saw this fellow I knew I was going to stitch him. I don't normally stitch with silk, but oh my, such a nice feel.

December Ornament

Holly Reindeer

by It's Daffycat
Silkweaver 28 ct Moon Dust Linen

DMC threads

Another design I knew I would stitch before the year ends. Matter of fact, I'm using this one for the great-nieces, and the companion design for the great-nephew's ornaments this year. The border should have DMC 814 in it, but I liked just the green, so I left it off this one. I may add it to the others.

Both designs were quick stitches, but it took me all day to day to do the finishing! Go figure.

Have a great evening.
