Kirstin Edwards, from the wonderful online stitcher's magazine, The Gift of Stitching, has issued a challenge to stitch a motif and finish it in some way. I love Christmas, it is definitely my favorite time of year. So, since it 'tis the season, what else to do with the motif but make a Christmas ornament. Without further ado, here's my attempt at the challenge.
You can click on the image for a larger view. I tried over and over, but failed to capture the gorgeous opalescent fabric it is stitched on! It's a 28 ct Solo from Silkweaver.
Here's the back of the ornament.
The thread I used is a silk from Vicki Clayton (Hand-Dyedfibers.com) called Zaffre Cobalt. Again, the photo doesn't do justice to the luscious color changes in this varigated silk thread.
This was a very fun stitch!
Until next time, Happy Stitching!
