Valentine's Day Freebie

Remember my "Silk'n roses" garland? Today it was "gossiped" about over at Needlework Craftgossip in relation with Valentine's Day. Thank you Denise Felton for all the kind words!

Valentine's Day is not traditionally celebrated in my part of the world, but that is no reason why I couldn't make a small gift to everyone who celebrates it and also likes silk ribbon embroidery, is it?
This is the pattern of my rose garland heart:

and it is free for you to download and embroider if you'd like. Enjoy!

Let me know if you do embroider it, I would love to see your work.

Happily stitchy days, Everyone!

Snowflake Ornament Pattern

Thank you all so much, dear friends, for the kind comments and emails about my ornament patterns! I really appreciate your feedback and I would be very happy to receive photos of your work if you stitch any of the ornaments. 

Today I am continuing the series of hardanger Christmas tree ornaments with a snowflake, I hope you will like this one, too. 

Again, to be finished with the same technique and lined with red satin.

My new hardanger scissors have finally arrived (still no sign of the old ones) so in a few days, if all goes well and the flu decides to give me a break, I will be able to post pictures of the finished ornaments, too.

Christmas Heart Ornament Pattern

Sara's little bell called for some company so I continued playing with the same poinsettia motif and golden tendrils, designing a few more ornaments. Today I am sharing with you the pattern of a heart. 

It is going to be finished with the same technique I used for the bell, and will also be lined with red satin. 

If you would like to receive this pattern in a PDF file, please do not hesitate to ask, I will be happy to email it to you.

Christmas Bell Ornament & Pattern

It has now become our tradition to give my daughter each Christmas an ornament made by me, for her to use on the Christmas tree she will decorate for her children...

For this year's ornament I designed a hardanger bell, lined with red satin, with the year 2012 stitched on the back. The golden beads seam to be camera shy, but they do have a nice glow in reality.

There's really no need for me to tell you how much love and wishes for the best and dreams are stitched into these ornaments, is there?

And if you liked our little bell, here is my gift to you, the pattern to stitch your own Christmas tree ornament.
