Hosted by Rachel the Ten Hour Stitcher
This SAL is designed to motivate us all to do something with that box of Finished pieces instead of just storing them under the bed. We will all be linking up on Rachel's blog on or after the 10th of each month (10 Hour Stitcher - 10th of the month).
I decided to do something different with my latest Christmas Ornament finish. Rather than make a 3D ornament, I mounted it over some wadding on a piece of card. We display greetings cards from strings hung from our beams on the ceiling. They are out of the way and make a lovely colourful display.
Just Nan - Snowberries
Fewer people send physical cards now so we usually have at least one string empty at Christmas. I thought it would be nice to fill it with ornaments. When Christmas is over, the card folds the other way to protect the stitching and beads in the storage box.
It's TUSAL time!
Here is my TUSAL jar with my current projects:
stitched on 32 count Vintage Country Mocha linen
On the left we have The Primitive Hare Hocus Pocus Cabinet and on the right is my evening stitch - September Strawflowers from The Sweetheart Tree.

🐇 Good Friday - Friday 29th March 🐇
Finally, it's time to sign up for the Annual Easter Treasure Hunt. If you would like to take part this year, just leave a comment here. The week before Easter I will send you a letter of the alphabet which will form part of the mystery phrase. On Good Friday you will post that letter along with a photo of something seasonal that you have stitched (could be Easter or Spring or just something cheerful and sunny or floral). We all hop around like little bunnies to find the Mystery Phrase!

That's a great way to display your smaller stitched pieces, Jo! I sure miss the real Christmas cards from the past. Your smaller finishes will look so pretty and really brighten up the room during the darker winter months. Enjoy your week! ♥
ReplyDeleteI love your finishing idea. Your wips are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like many small trees are stitched together.
ReplyDeleteAnd, it looks like it has beads scattered all over it so it's very cute.
I love your ideas for decorating and closing the cards.😊
Perfect finish for this lovely pattern. Very interesting WIP, love the tiny leaves in heart shape. xxx
