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 stitched this last Friday, but didn't get it put together until today after work. The pink background is the fabric I used for the back of the ornament. The design is from a free booklet that came with a recent Cross Stitch Crazy magaine. The booklet has designs for 12 floral gift sets. I used a scrap of white fabric and DMC floss.

My stitching was completed over the weekend, but I just finished the ornament this evening after work. I'm pleased with the way it came out.

Howdy everyone! I'm Vicki in CO and it's great to be a part of this group; great fun to see what others choose for their design. I love the tradition of the Bride's Tree; particularly because I am of German heritage.
For January, I chose 'Heart & Home Sampler' by Little House Needleworks. I finished it a few days ago, but finally have a chance to post it. This one is not finished as an ornament; it is framed in a Mill Hill frame.
