2011 catch-up post

"Sapphire Star" by Patricia Ann Designs

"Frosty Fales" by Little House Needleworks

"Poinsettia" by Mill Hill

My August ornaments

The Santa stocking design is adapted from LA's Christmas Ornaments book #3428 produced by Kooler Design Studios. It's design 7 from the Littlest Stockings series, charted to be stitched on plastic canvas. I stitched it on 18 count Aida, made a few little changes to the shape, added a cuff, and backed it to turn it into a real little stocking. The finished stockings are just over an inch wide at the top, and a bit under 2 inches long.
