This is a Victoria Sampler Christmas ornament that I have just completed the stitching and finishing, which is now all ready to go on a Christmas tree.

I had been wanting to make it for quite some time but for some reason or other never got around to it. I am glad that I did this time around. It was lot of fun to stitch and a wonderful experience. I am always learning something new each time I work on a project, so learning curve going up (big smile).

Roses and buds are bullions, fly stitches for the big leaves, lazy daisies for the smaller leaves and stem stitch for the stems. I have used DMC threads for this project. Was tempted to use Edmar threads, but changed my mind. If I make another one, I will probably do it Brazilian embroidery style.

Love the new header etc and I totally agree with what you say on your profile paragraph.=)
The Noel ornament is lovely - I like that you tried some new stitches. Did you do the braided band and tassel, too? Nice.
Thanks Cyndi. I always finish my projects except those that have to be framed, then my framer will do those for me.
