A lovely tradition from Germany is the Bride's Tree. It is believed that a couple's Christmas tree needs twelve specific ornaments for happiness in their life journey together.
I finished my first ornament today. I chose an Elizabeth Design's pattern from the 2000 Just Cross Stitch Ornament magazine. I used 28ct. Lambswool and DMC floss.
There are 12 themes for ornaments, and you're welcome to pick your own patterns or borrow an idea from someone else. There are no set patterns, only themes. Click here for a full explanation.
