Stitching for a Cure Ornaments





I had a very good stitching weekend. I was able to complete the stitching on two ornaments for Stitching for a Cure. I just love how the one on black turned out. It looks much better than the camera shows. I used Dinky Dye floss from a floss exchange that I was in. It was just perfect for this ornament. Now comes the hard part for me in assembling them to make them into ornaments. I am real nervous about putting these together so that they will look okay and that someone will want to buy them.

  5. Very nice!! There are several finishing sites out there.....just go read a few and take the dive. It's really not as hard as it looks. You could practice on a plain piece of material and make any mistakes with that before you try and use your stitched piece. That way you won't be as nervous. There is usually a little learning curve and your 2nd always looks better than your first try.
