Happy Monday! Here is an ornament that I started a year or so ago, I had all but one petal of one of the red flowers stitched in when I either ran out of the red or put it away or something, but I could not match it when I went to finish the ornament. So, I had to frog all the red flower that had already been stitched and change colors. Actually, although I hate frogging with a purple passion, I'm glad I did because I like this shade of red better. It has more varigation than the other color did.

Particulars, the design is called Quaker Motif Ornament, is by The Samplar Workes, and can be found in the 2004 Just Cross Stitch Ornament Special Issue. I have a nice collection of these special issues and have actually stitched quite a few of them. If you'd like to see more than is posted here, you can acces my gallery at Cyberstitchers. www.cyberstitchers.com, and my gallery name is Marisa's Stitchworks.

I suppose, at some point, I need to stop stitching and start finishing. LOL I have a colleciton of holiday fabrics I've snagged from remnant bins hither and yon, but they are in the sewing/guest room, on the bottom of the closet, and holding up . . . goodness knows what. Currently, my daughter is occupying that room because hers is getting a facelift. Her bed has been disassembled and is in the process of being repainted and put back together. So when I'm not stitching ornaments, you will find me in the garage sanding or sniffing paint fumes. LOL

Speaking of which, I guess I better get busy with . . . something!
