Tumbling Stripes, Finished
Tumbling Stripes is finished. A very quick stitch and fun to do. It is supposed to have a border, but I'm leaving it off so I have more choices as to what to do with it. I may put it in a round frame that I have. Or a box.

Seven Fractal, Progress #8
I'm pretty sure I can finish this next year! Here is progress to date. There are 4 more charts, but 2 of them are small. It is nearly 3/4 done. I don't think there's much of the blue stuff left so it will go a little faster. She said hopefully!!

Ornaments 2017 Finished!
All of the ornaments are finally finished.
The version with tassels is far & away the easiest. Easy is a relative term! It's all hard, but the tassels mean you don't have to worry about what to do with the ends of the cording. For me, that makes a lot of difference! I used purchased cording and it often has an inner core which can make the ends a problem. If you make your own, that wouldn't be as big an issue, I think. With the tassel version, I couldn't use the metallic cording as it didn't ravel out nicely!

Anyway, they're done. Appreciate your finisher! It's very tedious work!
