Yes, I entered a Round Robin, Half the time no one seemed to know where the stitching was, and when I got it back, some of the stitching looked like their kids did it. Very dissapointing.
But, I love that tree. So whistful.

Mine isn't really a Christmas design, more of a winter design. I am doing it instead of my Noah's Ark right now because it looks like it will stitch up quick and I am a little bit intimidated by my Noah's Ark at the moment. Scroll to the bottom to see the one I am doing

I just finished my first ornament. I'm not too good at finishing, so it took me awhile to get it done :oops:

That is so beautiful Koko and you have done a great job with the edging too. It is most unusual along with the gorgeous fabric

You could've fooled me! I hope you only mean it takes you longer than you would like, because in terms of quality and beauty of finish, yours takes the cake!

Those boxes that make up the border, are they done in satin stitch? I'm asking because I'm never entirely sure what satin stitch looks like but they look lovely!

I agree - the finish is gorgeous! And I think the squares look like they could be Rhodes squares. Am I right?
