I know many of you are probably wondering why I signed up for this wonderful blog when all I have managed is a January ornament~~....Well, I have very good intentions and actually have had my Feb and March stitching done.. But, I wanted the perfect trim... So, here is February's ornament..
I had stitched up this pattern by L'R de rien back at the end of December....And, when Nancy of Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe came out with her hand dyed chenille's, I knew I had to order some and use it on my ornament,,,,
So much that I decided to stitch it again!!!
So much that I decided to stitch it again!!!
And, yes, you will see a "10" in the top left corner of each ornament....Since my MIL passed away in 2010, and I want each of my sons to have these ornaments one day, I put "10" on each ornament as a way of honoring her and her love for Christamas.... She would have loved these ornaments also, as she was oh so fond of anything with a redbird on it!!
Well, I promise to not make my April ornament as late as these were....Happy stitching everyone!!

I love your ornaments! and the trim is perfect :) I'm going to be ordering some come payday :) you wicked enabler you! lol
WICKED ENABLER indeed! I have been eyeing all of her trim. I keep telling myself NO but I feel the restraints weakening. LOL!
Don't feel bad about your "lack" of posts. I don't think I've had anything Christmas to share since January. Its not the quantity, its the quality and you definitely have that down to a science.
Great finishes Faye! I LOVE her trims, i have a couple and just ordered some a few minutes ago with her sale going on. :) Her rick rack is awesome too! very soft and so easy to work with and great colors.
I still have to do a March ornament let alone myApril one. LOL
Your ornaments are very pretty. I'm in love with the trims too, andd am trying to resist ordering more at the moment. What a lovely way of remembering your MIL.
Faye, I didn't see your post here about Nancy until I'd already posted this morning. You are the one who enabled me to go to her when I read your blog. Thank you so much and I've already ordered from her twice! I love your ornament and the chenille was worth waiting for.
hugs,
babs
