The September theme for the Christmas Ornie SAL 2016 was Christmas Food. Diane and Nikki's ornaments fit the bill perfectly.

Fibers: perle cotton, floss, Krenik cord, beads

Most of my stitching is counted cross stitch, however I do on occasion try my hand at needlepoint and a few other creative techniques. In August a few members of my guild took a trip to a needlepoint for a class on choosing stitches/fibers for a canvas. Of course while we were there some took the opportunity to pick up some projects. On of the canvases I bought was the above. I'm really excited to get it done.

Last on the list, I completed the first of 3 pincushions. This is another canvas piece. Each pincushion is  stitched on 18 ct canvas, using perle cotton, using several stitches.  Designer Alice Okon published the Dainty Daisy Pincushions in Cross Stitch & Needlework magazine, September 2013 issue. This was a birthday present from my friend CarolB.
