July and August finishes :-)

Yes, I'm a little behind. :-) I haven't finished off an ornament since June. Time sure did get away from me. But I have two finishes to report, Toy Shop Sign from CHS using the recommended 36 count Lakeside Linens with the DMC conversion and a tree (I can't remember the name) from Erica Michaels using the recommended 40 count Lakeside Linens using assorted Crescent Colours cotton floss both from the 2007 JCS Ornament issue. I have three more to finish off this week so I'll be posted those later. I met my goal of 12 finished ornaments in 2007! Thanks for such a wonderful stitch-a-long.

Margie's June Ornament

For June I stitched Topiary Ornament I from Hillside Samplers. This completes my stitching of the series of four that are available. I really liked doing the complete series and I have to thank my fellow bloggers for making it possible by helping me with two of the four. I plan on looking for more ornament series to work on. And I'm getting a ton of ideas here. :-)

April Ornament Topiary IV

At long last here is my completed April ornament, Topiary IV from Hillside Samplings. Three down and one to go! As always, I really enjoyed looking at everyone's additions. I didn't have much time to comment, but I loved them all. :-)

Margie's March Ornament

Here is my March ornament - from Hillside Samplings, Topiary 2 using the provided linen and fibers in the kit. This is the second of the four set series I have completed. Next month I plan on stitching #1 or #4 - I can't decide which one I like more. :-) Everyone's ornaments look great! I get so much inspiration from all the finishes.
