Rachel and Tiff had the wonderful idea of starting something new every weekend in November and called it "Naughty November". I did like the idea of joining in but didn't want to add any WIPs to my total. I want to be down to 15 or fewer by the end of the year.
So I decide on smalls only, preferably ones I could complete within the weekend. The first two weekends I stitched a tiny haunted village, the fourth house is nearly finished. The third weekend I stitched a Christmas Ornament and this weekend I stitched AND fully-finished another one!!
I'll only show the stitched picture here and save the FFO for Rachel's other SAL, the FFO Gallery.
This is from the Just Cross Stitch Ornament Special 2019 and was the September choice for the JCS FB group. Silvery Lace Snowflake from Works by ABC. Or Golden Lace Ornament as it now is:
A while back I started the Teresa Wentzler Byzantine Ornaments on this fabric. I stitched three of them and kept all the threads in a bag with the stitched pieces and the fabric for the remaining three. There was plenty of fabric to make at least four of Works by ABC's designs. She has only done three so far but there may be more.
Everything else has been shown at least once except for my current progress on Snowfire Christmas by Just Nan:
(the same linen as the ornament above!)
Finally, the Advent Calendar Blog Hop starts tomorrow! This is the Tenth year of hosting the calendar so I am very excited to see what everyone will be sharing with us. The post will go up tomorrow afternoon and we will open the first door when the first person makes their blog post.
Naughty November was fun to see what everyone was working on.
ReplyDeleteSilvery Lace is beautiful.
I do like the burgundy fabric such a beautiful color.
Merry Christmas

That's a beautiful ornament, and the color is so pretty with the beads.
ReplyDeleteI love the Silvery Lace Snowflake! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely stitching Jo, The Silvery Lace Snowflake is gorgeous, love stitcheries with added beads.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish! Love the backing fabric too. I still just love that burgundy fabric with the band sampler. Just a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteOh, how gorgeous is your Golden Lace ornie, and how different it looks in your burgandy/gold colours compared to the blue/silver. There's definitely been a burgandy theme recently! Thanks for taking part in Naughty November, and putting most of us to shame by choosing sensible quick projects! :)
ReplyDeleteI love both of these pieces, especially on the Burgundy fabric.
ReplyDeleteYour Golden Lace Ornament is a terrific example of how much difference the fabric and thread can make to a design. I love your version.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a thing for bold fabrics, and you use them to great effect! Well done on finishing that ornament.
