Hi, everyone! I'm back! ;-)<br />
Here is my October "Pinecone" ornament. The design is from <a href="http://matryoshkabiscornue.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Matrioshka Biscornu</a>. I stitched on 18ct celadon aida with Marble Thread (cosmo). <br />
I hope that I'll accomplish my Bride's Tree before the end of this year...<br />
<br />
Happy Stitching!<br />

I started in January 2008. I completed January - July pretty much on time and began November. Then I had my twins, and things slowed way down. Over the next 2.5 years, I stitched August - October, and December. Sadly, November's angel isn't done and probably won't be for several years. It requires too much attention to detail for me to stitch on it much. It goes with me to doctor's and car appointments, when I know I'll be sitting (without kids!) for long stretches of time.<br /><p style="text-align: center;" class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6pv8VG9tYIuHgJg3blzEUWQFwqpoxtb4YKey6qwlk-zesrMxvSerDdW2ANiuqxw-0OvoVmBvt9QxZJJ-DwdWNFmnc0F_P7nCDK9cQiplQkvGzi0mMBm94FRPP6APRYj9-diUPQSYYhXY/s1600/brides_tree_set-709928.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6pv8VG9tYIuHgJg3blzEUWQFwqpoxtb4YKey6qwlk-zesrMxvSerDdW2ANiuqxw-0OvoVmBvt9QxZJJ-DwdWNFmnc0F_P7nCDK9cQiplQkvGzi0mMBm94FRPP6APRYj9-diUPQSYYhXY/s320/brides_tree_set-709928.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5564723740359039970" border="0" /></a></p>I'm glad I participated in this SAL and am pleased with the results.

I "abridged" this much larger chart to make my December ornament. I wasn't really crazy about this chart when it was first published a year or two ago. But it has grown on me ... hence this ornament. I'll probably offer the chart in one of my monthly giveaways on my blog, <a href="http://oubliette-riona.blogspot.com/">http://oubliette-riona.blogspot.com/</a> ... the leaflet includes a Quaker Snowman ... I can't see myself stitching the snowman since snowmen are nowhere on my list of favored stitching motifs.<br /></div><div align="justify">I am a little disappointed in myself inasmuch as I didn't manage to get all 12 ornaments done in 2010. I still have to stitch the November Angel. I didn't really care for any of the Quaker angels I found on-line. Most of the free charts just weren't Quakerish enough for me. I have a very detailed vision of what I want to stitch. I just haven't gotten around to sitting down and plotting out a usable chart.

The fish came from Fifty-Five Christian Symbols, Unlimited No. 54 by Designing Women Unlimited. The patterns include the floss numbers for both regular colors and metallics. I chose to use a combination of both for this ornament. The pattern for the writing comes from Better Homes and Gardens 2001 Cross Stitch Designs. The ornament is stitched on 14-count Darice cream plastic canvas. <br />

I had quite a bit of trouble finding a rose that I liked that was an appropriate size. It seemed like many of them were either in big bunches or were not clearly distinguishable as a rose, but rather a nondescript flower of some kind. This ornament is the smallest of the set. This rose pattern comes from Better Homes and Gardens 2001 Cross Stitch Designs. So does the pattern for the writing. The ornament is stitched on 14-count Darice white plastic canvas. <br />

This is a little bigger than some of my other ornaments, but the new bride went to Hawaii on her honeymoon so I thought it was just perfect. The hibiscus pattern comes from Tropical Flowers: A Designing Workbook (from the Hawaiian Designing Collection). The pattern for the writing comes from Better Homes and Gardens 2001 Cross Stitch Designs. The ornament is stitched on 14-count Darice white plastic canvas.Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13298081948479108078noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394428126386541520.post-22828622526419028312011-01-04T19:41:00.000-05:002011-01-04T19:41:28.358-05:00October, November, DecemberWell, the first and only ornament I've posted here was September. But I've continued to work and I have the whole set completed now. I've very much enjoyed looking at what others have done.<br />

Like everyone else, I had the hardest time finding a pinecone. I got this one on ebay in a little kit that had to date from the 1980s. Everything in it smelled musty (I threw out the fabric and the thread) but I'm very happy with how the pattern turned out. The pattern for the writing comes from Better Homes and Gardens 2001 Cross Stitch Designs. The ornament is stitched on 14-count Darice cream plastic canvas.<br />

I had trouble finding either an angel or church that was both a size I liked and sufficiently detailed. This angel is the biggest of all my ornaments. The pattern comes from Better Homes and Gardens 2001 Cross Stitch Designs. So does the pattern for the writing. The ornament is stitched on 14-count Darice white plastic canvas.<br />

I absolutely love this little Santa, particularly the non-traditional coloring of his clothes. In the book he's actually juggling presents with his outstretched hands, but I thought it also made for a perfect gesture of goodwill and welcome. The pattern comes from Better Homes and Gardens 2001 Cross Stitch Designs. So does the pattern for the writing.

<span style="font-size: large;">These three ornaments conclude my SAL here of which I've enjoyed stitching, falling behind, didn't know if I was going to finish, and played catching up. I am so glad I was able to finish stitching all of them and completed them to place them on my Christmas Trees this year. They are all so beautiful and will treasure them as a way to reflect back on my 25th Wedding Anniversary this year.</span><br />

But as I completed another design and another and another, it got easier. Or to be more accurate, I got more accustomed to the discipline imposed by the Quaker style. The October Pine Cone is my own design and, in my opinion, the best of my designs in this series.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394428126386541520.post-57188912187692468862010-11-01T02:43:00.000-04:002010-11-01T02:43:18.464-04:00November -- Angel<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE89CgGiYAOxklsTCxkM77UdG3LRzvUxpP06PvBWPWtZzmOiCtouLZJPIyPIitbm2NU8Mn5QV0c__jTPlWWB7USUtB9RhLzSnv-CGehf-LAnsIT0w1rFRXOUZwvEG0Xeu1PoCaLh1mLuEz/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE89CgGiYAOxklsTCxkM77UdG3LRzvUxpP06PvBWPWtZzmOiCtouLZJPIyPIitbm2NU8Mn5QV0c__jTPlWWB7USUtB9RhLzSnv-CGehf-LAnsIT0w1rFRXOUZwvEG0Xeu1PoCaLh1mLuEz/s320/020.JPG" width="213" /></a></div>Here is my November Angel.
