Another Schooler Santa done!

feeds@yuku.com (StitchinKat) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 10:44:13 GMT

I'm stitching the annual Prairie Schooler Santas back to the year I met my DH, which was twenty years ago this month! This is the 1991 Santa, so I only have two more to go! (plus all future ones of course!) Eventually they will all be made into ornaments with their own tree. The fabric is the called for 18ct khaki putty davos. If you want to see all his brothers, visit my Webshots Prairie Schooler album (link below)!

Snowflake ornament question

feeds@yuku.com (Theresa L Michigan) — Sat, 30 May 2009 21:12:30 GMT

Hi I have a question regarding an ornament that I am stitching. I believe that it was Wilma that attached a gold glitter snowflake to the back of her finished snowman ornament. I loved the idea and I would like to try this technique. I am stitching a snowflake and I bought a glitter silver snowflake to attach to the stitched piece when it is completed. What kind of glue would be best to attach my stitched piece after it is mounted and backed with felt to the glitter ornament, I want to...

TW finish...Mar. 21

Beginner Whitework Ornament by TW Designworks, stitched on 28ct Bone Lugana with NN...my camera and scanner obviously don't speak the same color language, LOL. The before finish is actually pretty true to color.

Poinsettia ornament...Jan. 23

feeds@yuku.com (Wilma BC) — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 00:22:59 GMT

by Amaryllis Artworks, JCS 2002, 28ct lugana (I think), with various threads I had on hand. It actually turned out much brighter than the model, but I like it.

Another JCS 2003 ornie!

feeds@yuku.com (StitchinKat) — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 14:30:26 GMT

I finished one last ornie for November, also from the 2003 JCS ornament issue. This one is from Lynn's Prints, and is called Christmas Day Play. It's fairly simple, so to spice it up a bit, I used some 25ct gingham linen and stitched it over 1, then finished it with some white linen on the back, plenty of fiberfill, and reversible cross stitch around the edge. I'm really happy with how it turned out!

Just Cross Stitch 2003 ornie

feeds@yuku.com (StitchinKat) — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 11:14:37 GMT

This is from the 2003 JCS ornie issue....Dash Away by Dames of the Needle. Stitched on the called for fabric and with the called for fibers on the reindeer. Everything else is subbed, and rather than doing the streamers over 1, I couched some 032 #4 braid. It was a quick stitch, just a few hours in the evening on Monday.

Christmas gift ornies

I found the kit for these on ebay....an Erica Wilson/Columbia-Minerva crewel kit, circa 1978, called Chessie Ornaments (Chessie is the solo sleeping kitty, logo for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad) My mom remembers fondly the little Chessie and her playmates so I made these two for her for Christmas.

Snowman greetings...Oct. 14

design by Kustom Krafts...I finished it by attaching a gold glittery snowflake after I had mounted it, and backed it with felt. I saw this idea on another board, and thought to try it out for myself...I'm happy with the result, and may do it again...
