March Ornament Club Design stitched by Laurel

stitched by Laurel

I have to give Laurel a really big shout out here today ~ she is always one of the first to finish stitching an ornament after I release it to the group and she always does great work. Moreover, she always shares her photos with me – totally makes my day to see her finished projects every single time.

Please take a minute and hop on by Laurel’s blog today ~ http://xslaurelcountsxs.blogspot.com/

January Snowflake stitched by Shaunterria

anuary-Snowflake-stitched-by-ShaunterriaShaunterria used a really interesting finishing technique with her snowflake finish; she used some iron-on vinyl on the back and cut it out so it is flat. Interesting option for those who don’t want to do sewing and stuffing of all their ornaments this year ;-)

I’m always learning new things and getting new inspiration from our stitching community ~ I truly appreciate all the emails and photos that everyone shares with us here.

Thank you all. Happy Stitching!

Lucas received some cool new golf stuff for his 15th birthday over the weekend (new golf bag and a new hybrid #3 club)
Lucas is 15....
