Christmas Stitching 2010

[Midge]

I have made up Kell's "Bah Humbug" design as a Christmas tree ornament.
It's a lovely design to work but I think that the red blackwork border gets a little lost. I did it on 14 ct.
Thanks for sharing this Kell, it is smashing.

Midge, that's brilliant!! definitely a clever way to use the beads too!! I love it and may end up stealing that idea!! Great stitching!!

Finished my last gift last night. This is for my son's girlfriend and she is a Nemo fan so I found a small kit on 123 Stitch and ordered it.

The kit looks like this

I modified it so that it would be something for Christmas. I added a package and Merry Christmas, I also changed the seaweed to make it into an underwater Christmas tree with lights.

And this is the rest of her gift

SO many beautiful projects! Midge, love your interpretation of the Blah Humbug!
And Rose, what a clever idea to change the Nemo pattern into a Christmas-one. Love the crocheted shawl as well.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Rose, those changes are inspired and inspiring, and the shawl is beautiful !

With all this snow (3 feet and still falling), of course I have to stay indoors and stitch

So here are 3 more cards, for several friends in the same family. I was pleased to find similar patterns along the same theme, and used the same paper for background.

[Mabel Figworthy]

The robin is from the Victorian designs someone here sent me (I've done several from those) and the two cardinals are from a Dimensions pamphlet (#314) called Holiday Mumms, by designer Debbie Mumm. I bought it several years ago, so not sure if it's still around.
