Here are a few of the ornaments I made last year for family members. I'm still not sure if I'll do cross stitch again this year, but I'm definitely going to wait to see what my swap partner wants in the way of theme or color requests before I start her's.

This angel was a part of the studio bernina set by OESD. I need to get her finished up today. I think some hot fix crystals might be what she needs.

NZ Quilter .. Your ornaments are lovely. That is a ton of work there.

count me in again this year

I am sorry, I forgot to thank you all for the lovely comments. I was playing around with the "extra" things I send along with the ornament today. I am well on the way to having all the homemade stuff finished. Now just to go shopping for the store bought candy and things. :~) Yay!

PM sent. For me this is when it starts feeling like Christmas!

I know what I will be making, but I will wait to see what colours before I start it :)

Red, I love all the ornaments. Thank you for posting pictures.

NZquilter, your cross stitch ornaments are great.

Thank you both for posting pictures.

I just bought a new embroidery/sewing machine and going to try to make some of neat lace looking ornaments.

I sent a pm that I wanted to sign up, hope you got it.

Which machine did you purchase, Nelco ? Embroidery Library has good priced lace ornaments and their designs do stitch out well.

Here are some of my hand stitched ornaments made last year. I got most of these ideas from Pinterest, there is an abundance of ideas there.
