EGA Christmas Party & Ornie Exchange

First up is an update on the latest in my Advent Exchange with Lorrie.

Day 15-a selection of fat quarters in fabulous pink :)

Day 16 is a Homespun Elegance chart, a zippered Necessities bag to stitch on, and threads!

Day 17 is a Stitcher's Journal (which I've never had before and can't wait to use!) and a Bareroots Project book of Embroidery Stitches. It isn't just diagrams of embroidery stitches, but also some small projects-very cute!

Day 18-3 beautiful selections of Lakeside Linens to stitch on

Last Saturday was my local EGA chapter Christmas party and ornament exchange.  I received the ornament above and made the ornament below.

 

Below are all the ornaments displayed together-some beading, hardanger, perforated paper, cross stitch and needlepoint.

I also got 2 items back from my finisher at the party!  Here is my bargello pillow.  You might recognize the design from an older issue of Needlepoint Now.

And Day 6 of Renaissance Designs 13 Days of Christmas below-

Here are all 6 of my finished designs hanging on my mantle.  Number 7 is already kitted for next year! You can click on the pic for a closeup.

For your viewing pleasure, here are some photos of the Show n Tell at our meeting.  Talk about inspiring! The picture below is a better representation of the green in my pillow.

 

Lovely, lovely work

I was installed as treasurer of this great group of ladies for the next 2 years.  Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.
