Hi All, Here is my September ornament. It was a freebie from Mosey 'n Me, done on 28 ct. antique white Jobelan.

Jill's October Ornament

The Pine Cone
Stitched by Jill

This month's Theme: Pinecones

Looks like October is our month to get creative!!

This has been a tougher theme to find freebies for, but I did manage to come up with three that will work. I've also provided links to various patterns that you can purchase (or find in your stash) that have pinecones somewhere in them. Some of the patterns may be too big for an ornament, but you can always borrow a piece or two from them and fashion your own ornament.

As always, if you spot any more freebie or patterns for purchase featuring pinecones, please let me know!

September Teapot

Hi Everyone,

My teapot is from the little DMC book in the photo.

Stitched on 27 count Linda Evenweave with DMC threads.

Stitched by Sue in Australia.

August Rose

Hi Everyone,

I actually finished my rose at the end of August, just been a bit slow at posting to the blog.

The design is a Prairie Schooler from a small card I bought on E Bay. Stitched on 27 count Linda Evenweave with DMC Threads.

Happy stitching, Sue in Australia.

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.

Jill's Ornament for August

This is from a Prairie School Design called "A Prairie Year".

A Rose for Beauty - August

Done on Water Lily 28 ct. Jobelan with DMC floss, this rose design is from a book called Sweeter Than the Rose. This was a Leisure Arts book published in 1993 and it has many lovely floral designs, especially of roses. I decided to add a floss tassel for interest as the cross stitching is only 2 inches across.

May ornament

I've finally finished stitching my May ornament.

Designer: Blackbird Designs
Stitched on: 28 ct. evenweave that had been coffee stained
Threads used: recommended, except used Oatmeal instead of Straw Bonnet. The Straw Bonnet didn't show up on the fabric.
