I will be posting mine when I get back Sunday. Babysitting starting tonight so I'll be away from my computer. Not much left to stitch on it so it should be done by the end of the month. Love seeing everyones!
Rita's Christmas Angel
I finished stitching this one just in the nick of time. It's from the PS leaflet Christmas Traditions.
Below are some of my past angel and nativity stitching projects:

Ornament for October.
Hello my friends.
Here is my ornament.
`HOPE`
Out of `Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornaments`2015 magazine.
Design:`Needle Bling Designs.
On page 63 is the pattern.
I used threads from my stash.
Cottage Garden Thread : Tool Shed
and Sampler Thread : Ye Old Gold.
I finished as suggested using DMC 310 to make my cord
for hanging.
Happy Stitching,
Clare.
No ornament this month...
Hello Everyone!
I'm afraid I haven't had time to stitch an ornament this month. I have too many crafty Xmas gifts to work on, and there just hasn't been enough time for any additional stitching 'just for fun'. It is not looking too good for November either, but I am really looking forward to see what themes Kaye will come up with for 2016. At least then there won't be any Xmas gifts to be made for a while, so I should be able to find time for my favourite SAL again:)
Meanwhile I'!m enjoying seeing the lovely ornaments you all have stitched:) Well done!
Hugs,
Annie

Blackwork Angel
Hello friends,
yesterday I finished my angel for this month's theme. I stitched it for a dear friend who loves angels, and I will finish it as an ornament.

Blackwork Angel by The Prairie Schooler (book 108)
Stitching with the gold thread wasn't fun and I am glad that there wasn't so much that had to be stitched with it. But the angel stitched up very quickly.
Happy stitching,
Brigitte

Cheryl's October Angel Ornament
This angel is adapted from a pattern by Jamie Kile of Knotted Tree Needleart. The pattern is called "An Angel's Joy" and is featured in the 2015 Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue.
I stitched her on 14 ct clear plastic canvas, and backed the ornament with white felt and added a little satin ribbon loop. A quick stitch to make such a sweet little ornament!
