Finally Fully Finishing Fun for December

   

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).

First up are two small designs I forgot to include in my Smalls post for November:

On the left we have Just Nan's Mitten Men:

And on the right, Just Nan's Snow Faces:

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:

The backing fabric is from a sample book from a fabric shop.  Several years back I acquired some old sample books to use as backing fabrics.  I intend to use more of them, rather than just keep them in a cupboard.

Here it is fully finished into an ornament.  The colours are more accurate in the first photo.

Next, a very large finish and rather delayed as the stitching was completed in 2018!

Here's a little video to see it in more detail:
