Deck The Halls

One of my recent exchanges arrived in Australia. This sweet design was stitched for Lisa of Lisa V's Lounge. I adore cute houses with curly chimney smoke! And tall skinny pine trees are almost too much fun to stitch.


Design ~ Tiny Tidings IX "Deck the Halls"
Designer ~ Lizzie*Kate
Fabric ~ 32 count tea-dyed Belfast Linen
Fiber ~ DMC


I finished this one very simply since it is such a simple design; backed with tan & red gingham fabric with a matching ribbon hanger attached with creamy white buttons. Lizzie*Kate designs are such fun to stitch and nice colors to use! I hope Lisa likes it. Lisa has posted a photo of all the ornaments she received in this exchange ~ click here.

Thank you for visiting my blog today!

    Very very cute! Your stitching is always great. Alas, I have tried several times to stitch and gave up cuz I just could not seem to count and get it right :(
    Have to stick to my quilting.
    BTW- not to worry about a reply back, keep on stitch'in. :)

  47. NancyOctober 23, 2011 at 10:55:00 PM CDT

    Love the ornament. I don't know why, but I had never thought of attaching the ribbon on an ornament with buttons. I haven't made that many and my finishing is limited so maybe that is why I just never thought of it. Or could be that my buttons ended up in a storage unit 600 miles away from where I am at the moment.

    They are all really cute ornaments. I would have a hard time picking my favorite although I do like Lizzie Kate a lot. Just found your tutorials about finishing which is something I really need help with. Love doing the cross stitching but then get stuck with an idea of what to do with it.
