Your ornaments really are looking lovely.

The ornaments are beautiful, as is the sampler. Christmas must be wonderfully colorful at your home.

Beautiful project and your stitching is so good. Lovin this.

Beautiful work on the ornaments and the sampler! Love the rich red you're using on the sampler especially.

It's been awhile since I've posted any photos of finished pieces here, but I have been busy stitching. First there was skitzzzzz's heart, to which I added my & DH's names & our wedding date for our 10-year anniversary next month; then there was a simple Christmas piece, which I'll post when it gets back from the framer's; then a freebie Adam Prescott card chart from a recent The World of Cross Stitching mag, which still needs the backstitching finished; and finally finishing up the stitching & beading of the On Christmas Day sampler. Here are a couple shots of the sampler, a close-up to show the white beading & a full shot of it finished. Unfortunately, the colored beading around the red snowflakes doesn't show up as sparkly in the photos as in real life, guess you'll just have to take my word that [it] they look[s] fantastic! (It goes in to the famer's in the morning.) Edit - I was referring to the beads .

That is just absolutely amazing!! I love this sampler and your stitching is so very nice!! Great stitching and beading!!

Beautiful!

Awesome and beautiful. What wonderful neat stitching and all those lovely beads look so amazing. Fabulous.

Thanks for asking, I was tempted to ask as well, it's such a nice design and could be stitched up using only bits of it to make smaller items

You're stitching and beadwork is breath taking, you should be so proud of yourself, its utterly a stunning piece of work

It was a 4-part mystery sampler by Janie Hubble of The Cat's Whiskers Design Studio in Aug, Sep, Oct & Dec 2010 issues of TheGiftofStitching.com, the back issues can be found here. It was shown in gold & gray silks, but I went with DMC 498 & 317 (cheaper & I had them in stash).

Lovely ornaments, and a stunning sampler!

Oh I really love that So beautiful!! Well done
