We’ve done it, ladies! A whole year of ornament stitching! Way to go!

My final ornament for the year is Santa Won’t Miss a Few, designed by Jennifer Aikman-Smith of Dragon Dreams for a class at the fall 2013 Creativ Festival.

It is stitched with DMC thread and Kreinik braid on a wired aida band. To be totally honest, the band was awful to stitch on. The weave was very loose, and I’m not completely happy with the results. But, the design itself is super cute!

And here are all the ornaments I stitched this year:

    Thank You for hosting this SAL. I enjoyed it and am going to miss it but I’m MAKING myself stitch at least two ornaments a month. Your ornaments are all great!

    Love your Dragon Dreams ornies! I think my favourite is Not a Creature was Stirring.

    You are so lucky to have the retreat specials too.

    I’ve finished my 12 Dragonlets this year and intend to stitch a DD design each month next year too, starting with the FB Snowball Fight freebie.

    Great ornament finishes this year. Thank you again for hosting the SAL, it was fun.

  6. Christine says:

    I had the same reaction to the wired aida band. Horrible to stitch on. I put it aside and am working on something else instead.

  7. Evalina says:

    Congratulations! All ornaments are lovely. Now I’m looking forward to our ‘2014 Smalls SAL’. Have an awesome New year filled with happiness, health and prosperity and, of course, plenty of stitching time! Hugs

  9. I stitched a Stacy Nash needlebook for my best friend’s birthday present in Jan. I also finished LHN Pa tience Sheep Virtue ornament.
