Next are two by Milady's Needle (the trees), Joyeux Noel is a free design that I will stitch again for myself, and again, the lovely freebie by Carol. The Joyeux Noel is done with a pretty red Anchor (sorry, don't remember the color) and it went home with Karen last Saturday. The Milady's Needle trees are stitched on 25 ct Antique white over 1 using 12 wt. Sulky Blendables thread - color is Forever Green. Have to say, I LOVE the thread. Can't wait to use it for something else. The tree on top when home with Faye last Sat. The other two (on the bottom) are on my tree!
See how good these next two pics are? That's because Nicole took the pics! lol I sent her this ornament on Wednesday & she got it yesterday. I forgot to take a pic of it so she did & sent them too me. I love this design by Tanya (The Sampler Girl) and plan to stitch it several more times.... It's on 36 ct Antique White Edinboro with DMC. Oh, and I used the same "tree" fabric Nicole gave me for the ornament I sent her. Just love that fabric!
And here is the last one (for now) that I mailed out to a friend today. I do hope the recipient will like it. :-) Once again, 36 ct Antique White Edinboro & DMC. Just love this design AND this fabric. I picked it up at a quilt shop in Myrtle Beach in early Nov. Looking forward to going back there... ;-)
And look at this LOVELY ornament - Nicole made it for me. She said we must have had ESP - because we both mailed ornaments to the other on Wed without the other knowing it! ;-) You can read on her blog the reason she made this for me - though I told her several times there was no need. BUT I'm so glad she did - I just love it! It's a Blackbird Designs from the Joyeux Noel booklet that was new this fall. Isn't it great! Thank you again Nicole! :-)
Now I'm off to stitch! I'm working on a Val's Stuff "Snowman" for a family friend that I really need to get done tonight so I can finish it & give it to her tomorrow. Then I have a couple more pieces to do & share with you between now & Christmas! I'd better get to stitching!
Thanks for visiting - love to read your comments. Happy stitching!

Your finishes are so lovely and inspiring! I spent my snow day baking and doing laundry. My snow Sunday I plan on doing some stitching and finishing....now I have some cute ideas! Thanks for sharing!
I love that finish on the Christmas Greetings and the Believe ornaments. I might have to try that someday. It makes me wish I would have gotten more done before Christmas. I ran a little short on time. Beautiful ornies!
Anita, your ornament finishes are great and I love the Believe finishes!!! I have been trying to come up with interesting finishes and I like that idea.

Love your ornaments. I like the way you finished the "Believe" and "Merry Christmas" too. Will have to borrow that idea.
Love the ornament Nicole did too! Very cute. Think I will have to stitch this one again for me too.
Your needle must be smoking...can't wait to see more.
