Suzanne's February Ornament

Hello!

I'm continuing with the Just Cross Stitch Magazine Theme and have completed Merry Tree by Lizze*Kate from the 2008 Christmas Ornament issue.




I made my own circle ornament using stiffened felt cut with circle dies and embellished with some sparkly gems.

See you next month!

Honeybee's February Finish

Hi, y'all! Here's my February choice from the 2008 JCS ornament issue. It's supposed to be a biscornu, but I'll be finishing it as a flat ornament.

It's stitched on 28 ct. olive mystery linen with Caron Wildflowers in Snow White and Mint, and embellished with 2mm pearl beads and a Swarovski crystal from Hobby Lobby.

Have a great holiday weekend, everyone!

Mary L's February Ornament

Hi Y'all,

I have chose an ornament from the Holly Jolly selection.  This is called Christmas Morning Goodies by The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery.  It is in the 2018 JCS ornament issue.

I really enjoyed stitching this one.  I used evenweave and the called for DMC colors.

Thanks for looking,
Mary

Cathy's February Ornament

This is Merry 2008 from the 2008 JCS Ornament Issue and was designed by Glory Bee.  The yellow flower centers were supposed to be Rhodes stitch, but I don't know how to do that stitch so I used beads instead.

Cathy's January Ornament

Since I have all of the JCS Christmas Ornament Issues, I decided to do this theme.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find the 2009 issue (it's here somewhere, but right now, it doesn't want to be found).  Instead I chose an ornament from the 2010 issue.  This is Consumed by Gifts from Brittercup Designs.

I'm glad to finally be getting some use out of these magazines!

Faith's February Ornament
