I can't believe how long its been since I posted! Is there anyone left out there? ; -) In my neverending cleaning out of drawers, I came upon 2 of Laura Perin's Mini Mystery Monday free designs that I had not stitched. So here they are, not only stitched but finished! Of course, I changed all the colors, and some of the stitches. These can be ornaments or door hangers.
The one on the right was from Sep 2012. I changed it a lot
The one below Feb 2013. Both worked in Watercolors and #5 pearl cotton and Kreinik. Completely from stash.
I hung these at an angle so you could see the braid my finisher used around the edge. I've used this before and it makes the perfect easy edging for ornaments.
I have been doing some sewing lately. These 3 little door hangers are my efforts to save money & make my own! The cross stitched pieces had been laying around for several years. The hangers turned out pretty well. I did one more, but gave it away & forgot to take a picture of it. Once I got the process down, each one takes about 2-3 hours to make up. I am not a fast sewer!
