This a 3-D ornament I made for my 10-year old granddaughter.

First Christmas ornament for my grandson. This is a Dureen Jones chart from her Christmas countdown advent calendar published in The World of Cross Stitching.

Here is another Dureen Jones chart from cross-stitching.com which I made into a flat-fold first birthday card for my grandson.

And probably my last finish for this year, a birthday card for a friend with a December birthday. I believe this is yet another wonderful design by Dureen Jones

Beautiful. Perfect. Stunning.

That ornament is an interesting shape - how did you close the top and bottom?

My goodness, the decorations are utterly charming. The Fox is sooo cute :wub: him and the dangly is just lovely and perfectly stitched on the sparkly fabric, I am intrigued too as to how it was put together.

Beautiful cards too. You have been busy.

Thank you my stitching friends!

The 3-D ornament was constructed in the same way as a biscornu. Each side of the ornament design came to a point which was backstitched around the edge and then trimmed. Then the backstitching is sewn together to form the shape. I also used fray check along the cut edge but at one point it started to fray too close to the backstitching, so I would cut it further away if I did another one.

Here's a link to this foreign site and many free charts.

The finishes look superb, congratulations. I hope the grand-brats treasure their ornaments, they should.
