An Emblem of Love continues to cruise along well. All that is left to stitch now is the flowers in that last upper half medallion, and then the year in the bottom right corner. I have two gifts that just have to get finished soon, like yesterday! Both have to travel (very far) overseas for the holiday! Yikes! I only just started one of them today, and the other is on the runway... so I will be lugging those to work this week. But if I can get them done quickly, I might be bringing EoL along too - want to get it done, as I can see that light at the end of the tunnel!
Today I received this most beautiful ornament from Karen! It is so beautifully stitched and finished. I am so honored to own this ornament, which I was lucky enough to win in her recent ornament raffle in her blog. It is very special to me for two reasons: 1) I now finally own some of Karen's stitching to enjoy and display proudly, and 2) Betsy Stinner (Earth Threads) is one of my all time favorite designers! I have been blessed to take several classes with her in recent years, and this ornament also helps me to think of her and those wonderful classes! Thanks again Karen! I will treasure it always, and it is already displayed prominently on our Christmas tree (as it will be for many years to come!).And, I got an email from Becky tonight, letting me know that a little fob I stitched for her has arrived (the post if officially slowing down now for the holiday!). I have wanted to stitch something for Becky for the longest time now. She has sent me so many gorgeous hand made gifts over the past year or more... and now I finally got to send her something! I also was feeling she needed some cheering up! I hope it helped.
Stitched on today: Started a gift, and An Emblem of Love

Karen did a wonderful job on the ornament she sent.
Lucky you! Karen's needleroll is stunning! Having said that, your fob for Becky doesn't look too bad either :o)
EoL is nearly done!How can you contain yourself and not finish it NOW? such self-restraint makes me jealous!
EOL is looking great. One more day os stitching and you'll have it done. Every time I see your FOB's i'm just blown away, they are all wonderful. You do such a great job on them.
Your Emblem of Love is looking incredable! The more I watch this piece unfold, the more I want to add it to my stash. :-)
