Hi friends! I would like to share with you the Christmas ornament I made for
our friend June.
This is a free chart you can find
HERE. I stitched this two over two with DMC on pale blue(hard to see with my picture) 28ct linen. I searched my fabric stash and found the perfect fabric to back this little flat ornament. I cut the square shape and folded it just so, with mitered corners, around to the front of another cardboard square. I finished it with a piece of baker's twine as the hanger. This is how the back looks.
Madeleine did paint Murphy's portrait also. All three poodles are done. :) They are each 2"x2".
Did you notice how she even gave poor 'ol Murphy his blue eyes? Well, he does have bluish eyes. He does not have cataracts, just old dog eyes.
I am stitching up a Christmas ornament for a church friend. Yes, you read that right. Our Orthodox Christmas is January 7th. I have time. :)
Thank you for your encouragement and support my friends. I always look forward to comments left by you. Thank you. ♥ Have a wonderful week!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie
Great finishing for the Robin. The poodles look great! Have a good day my friend.
ReplyDeleteWhat a really cute little robin ornament, and the backing is wonderfully symmetric! I did not realize the poodle painting were so tiny! wow! Too cute! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLove the ornament. So special to have all your pups painted by your DD. She is a real talent!
ReplyDeleteWow, that backing is perfect!! I am not good at mitering. And you should see what I do with stripes... I would have chosen a print and just got it finished! LOL
ReplyDeleteI never thought of poodles looking that much different, but you can definitely tell who is who! Your daughter is very talented. SMILE
What a sweet Robin ornament you created for your friend! Very cool backing fabric you used, Vickie! Murphy looks great done up in paint and the 3 look fabulous in your cubby. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious ornament you stitched for your friend June. Your finish is just lovely as usual!
ReplyDeleteMurphy is just lovely in paint! How very special to have all three poodles in your cubby! What treasures they are!
Have fun stitching up your next ornament! I hope you have a good day doing things you love! How are you feeling?
Sending big hugs your way!

ReplyDeleteMadeleine has got a lot of talent. The poodles look like in real life.
Oh I love your Robin embroidery and you finished it so perfect. Your daughter is a talented painter, she painted the poodles exact the way they are. And there is still an empty case for another poodlepainting, so ther is room for another poodle ;-) Love and greets, Nienke
