More ORNAMENTS

I have completed 2 more ornaments. The green one has a dangle from the bottom & will make a nice Xmas ornament. The pastel one will be kitted with instructions for the Stitcher's Retreat here in Las Vegas in April. I think it turned out really pretty and Spring-like. The one I did earlier, with the eyelets, we decided was not as appealing.

White Orchid

This past Sunday was the annual Stitcher's Retreat here in Las Vegas. I went last year for the first time, so was an "old hand" this year. It is just a fun day. About 30-40 stitchers having a lovely day stitching, chatting, lunching, show & tell, door prizes. All in all, a terrific time.

I started on my next Orchid, the white one, to work on at Retreat. The shading is quite subtle and won't show up too well till the background goes in so there will be some contrast. The canvas is Eggshell. I had planned to use a light pink canvas, but I didn't have a big enough piece. It is coming along well and goes fairly quickly considering it is all Basketweave.
