Finished

...and so they are finished. It has been great to have this group to stitch along with.

This won't be the best way to display the set, but it does show them as a group. The individuals have been posted along the way. I did buy the tree for them, but they're larger than I anticipated, so the tree will come in handy for other ornaments, and my plan for these is to go into my son's "hope chest" for some day in the future.

Click on the image to see a little better. This on shows the tiny tatted ring I made for each as a hanger. They will be best with an actual hanger, which I will include, but for now they're hung by the thread.

Happy Holidays to one and all!

Completed Ornaments

I've stitched all the ornaments, now the next phase will be finishing them!

This has really been a great incentive for finishing this project. Thanks for all the support.

DMC cotton floss

October

I'm trying to catch up. This is my October Pine Cone ornament from Rosewood Manor on 18ct Oatmeal using DMC floss.

September

Did you all think I was lost? No, just behind. I've finished Septmeber, and am about to begin October.

August Rose

My August rose was finished early this month, but I'm just getting it posted. This is a very fun challenge, and I'm looking forward to September! Continuing with the same theme, it is by Rosewood Manor from Bride's Tree Ornaments.

July's Blessings

Here is my Bride's Tree ornament for July - the fish for blessings. It is by Rosewood Manor, Best Wishes Ornaments, done on 18ct Regency Aida in Oatmeal.

May and June

I've certainly been negligent in posting on my blogs and here as well, but the urge is stonger to be doing other things right now -- stitching for one.

April Hope

Hope has been finished since the end of April, but I'm just getting to posting it.

Okay, things are moving along! Here is my February (True Love) Ornament. I omitted the initials in the lower left/righthand corners and have instead inserted our wedding date. My apologies for the very bad pic!

Good Wishes for March

Could I have waited any longer to get this March ornament finished? Don't think so ;-)

It was a fun one to work on. I have seen some really pretty ones that you all have done, and that makes me think this will not be the only set I'll make. Do you see that awful, nasty stain on the back piece? My 'new' iron spit some steam that was brown on it... I haven't done anything other than blot it to try to remove it. So sad !! But AT LEAST it wasn't the front; right?

Bride's Tree February Heart

This ornament has been finished for over a week, but it’s not completed. Just got it pressed tonight, so thought I’d go ahead and post it before beginning on March – Flower or Flower Basket.

The design is from Best Wishes Ornaments by Rosewood Manor - stitched on 22ct Aida in Oatmeal using two strands of DMC cotton floss.

Bride's Tree House

I was beginning to wonder if it would get done, but it is. The house design I chose to use is from the Best Wishes Ornaments by Rosewood Manor. It is stitched on 22ct Aida in Oatmeal using two strands of DMC cotton floss.

This is the front of the ornament



...and here is the back


I'm looking forward to February!

I'm Ready

Hi everyone! I am excited to be doing this. I have the chart for these from Rosewood Manor and have been wanting to do them, now I will have the motivation from all of you to get them done in the coming year. My son has just gotten his first apartment and I was thinking I would make these and then I could give them to him for his tree. Still trying to decide on the fabric with each charted at 70x70. Don't want to make them too large that he wouldn't put them on his tree. I am leaning towards an evenweave and doing them over 1 so they would be smaller even then the size would still be about a 3 inch ornament. What is the "official" start date for these?

I have been in love with these ornaments since I saw a glass set in a catalog, but wanted to stitch a set. I found a few charts for the ornaments, but had not found the 'perfect' set that appealed to my heart. When I saw the Best Wishes chart, I knew this was it! Then I found Bride's Tree SAL blog, and couldn't wait to join. Thanks for inviting me to join the Bride's Tree SAL.

Hello!

I'm looking forward to getting my ornaments started - can January 2008 really be just days away!?!?

I'm planning to stitch the Best Wishes Ornaments from Rosewood Manor, thank you to who ever posted about these sweet little designs. I have my chart and am in the process of choosing fabric for starting in January. I'm leaning toward a 40ct linen at this point because the stitch count is 70x70 on these.

I will be stitching from...

Hi everyone,

I think this SAL is a great idea; I have had Best Wishes Ornaments by Rosewood Manor Designs in my stash forever; which is based on the same theme as this SAL; I have always wanted to get these stitched and now with this group, I will get them done!! Below is a picture of the chart;




Happy Stitching,
