Greetings friends and Merry Christmas! I wanted to take a moment to share a few personal stitches of mine.... Here are a few ornaments that I've added to my personal collection..... So, here you go~
Kelmscott Designs Quaker 4~ Stitched on 40 count Lakeside Exenplar linen with Goriana cranberry silk~
It comes with a prepainted black disc to mount your stitch...I added cording~
Summer House Stitche Workes~ Merry Merry! (Retreat freebee)
I have always wanted a Christmas journal so I mounted this small stitch atop a notebook... Doesn't it make you want to open it up and write notes?
I added the 3 tiny buttons in place of the charted word "X-mas".... My thread selections were GAST Oatmeal, Old Hickory and Mountain Mist stitched on 36 count Fawn Lakeside linen....
Hands to Work~ Little House Needleworks~ I stitched on 32 count linen using 1 thread over 1.... A true labor of love but worth the extra effort.... It's 2.5" X 2.5" design size is now a perfect ornament size~
Santas Workshop~ The Nebby Needle.. Design found in the Christmas issue of Punch Needle & Primitive Stitcher magazine... This publication is chocked full of beautiful cross stitch designs!
...this is the back of this sweet ornament.....
Historic Stitches~ Christmas Abecedaire Ornament
This is the ninth annual ornament as designed by Susan Biggers and I love it's unique shape... Edged with my custom cording.... I used Victorian Motto Sampler Threads Faye's Red on 36 count creme linen...
* Lizzie Kate, I think*** I forgot to make notes about this one.....
This flannel check is actually a little fuzzy and soft... A nice compliment to this pretty winter design...
Prairie Schooler Santa 2012... I stitched on a coffee stained 32 count linen using 2 threads over 2~
The envelope Santa is holding says Carolina Stitcher.... A touch of the unexpected.....
Prairie Schooler Santa 1988... A simple finish to not distract from the stitches.. I substituted GAST Country Redwood to give Santas coat a nice texture....
Prairie Schooler Santa 1984.... I have all of the annual Santa designs by PS and randomly choose about 3-4 each year to stitch.....
Prairie Schooler~ I thought this 32 count natural linen with the creme dots added a lot to this Santa...
(Out of print) Hands to Work tiny stocking.....
With thy Needle & Thread~ A Winters Skate
I line all stockings, even the ornament size stockings.... This one topped with tan chenille....
I have received an early Christmas gift an I absolutely cannot wait to put it to good use!
Silent Stitches is an on-line shop that offers some of the best finishing supplies, trinkets and stitching goodies.... When I spotted this oval 6x9" Hardwicke Manor hoop, I knew I had to have it!
I hope everyone has a great Christmas ~~~
Smiles,
Faye

Merry Christmas,Faye! Your work is beautiful! My niece just adores Brody's stocking!!!
Merry Christmas Faye! Loved seeing your stitching! You will love that little hoop....it is fun to do alphabets with it as you can easily stitch across without moving it as often as a round hoop. I always use a hoop so find oval ones work great for sampler stitching.
Best to you in 2016....more great stitching, hugs, and giggles.

Merry Christmas to you Faye ! Love seeing all your personal finishing. So many treasures there. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas ! Mel
Merry Christmas, Faye. The finishes are gorgeous as always.
What a nice Christmas surprise to find more of your lovely finishes. I especially liked the PS pillows finished with the vertical striped fabric. And what a darling chart with the key fob for Santa's workshop! And another surprise was finding the name Susan Biggers - she and I were part of a regular evening stitching group at our local LNS when I lived in Marietta, Georgia. Thank you for a year of delightful photos, and I'm looking forward to what you'll share with us in 2016. Enjoy your holidays away from school and all the best to you and your family in 2016.
