More Block 9 Progress

I got a little bit more stitched on block 9.

I actually had to frog the little wreath because I didn't even notice that there was yellow in it until after the fact.  I don't know how I completely overlooked the little "m" symbol.

Michele let me know that she received her ornament today.  I stitched Little House Needleworks "Baking" for her.

Ornament for Michele

I used 40 ct. Vintage Light Examplar by Lakeside Linens using the Crescent Colours threads that came in the thread pack.

Tomorrow I'm going to Amy's for a much needed break.  We plan to stitch the day away!  I'm so looking forward to it!  Write soon! :)

  3. Oh how pretty CAHRH is looking! I just love your progress on this and your ornament is just gorgeous! If I do an ornament, that type of finishing really is pretty and doesn't look like it is really hard like other finishes I have tried to do. I love all of your stitching here and I hope you have a wonderful time at Amy's!

  11. hi nicole! I am a newbie to your blog and am enjoying it very much. lovely stitching! question for you: i just purchased The Village of Hawk Run Hollow and 40 count lakeside linen in vintage sand dune. I am without the mega $$$ to purchase silks, so am going with DMC. Now, the question as I am looking for advice from anyone who is good at this! Shall i stitch it one over one? one over two? two over two? I've read that one over two on this piece leaves too much material showing. I would prefer DMC 2 over 2. Any thoughts??? Much appreciated!! I love your Paradise Lost! Beautiful!
    oh, my email: jenstumpf@gmail.com. thanks!!

  13. Wow! This ornament is so great. How did you get the fringing so nice and neat? And did you do the stitching in green around the edge by hand? I am thinking of trying this finish for my next ornament.
