the Noel ornament

Noel ornament is back! Finishing by Sue Parsons at West Coast Finishing!

Red Noel Teardrop finished!

The last steps were fast.  Neon Rays is laid between the gold vertical rows.  DMC fil is worked in half cross stitches to hold it place.  Finally Trebizond was laid down the centers.  This was a fun one and is ready to send to the finisher!

Teardrop, part two.

The 4 way Continental is tied down with upright crosses in DMC fil.  Then I filled the centers with Neon Rays and more upright crosses.  The NOEL is stitched with Kreinik and the red background is more Kreinik in diagonal Mosaic.

Red Noel Teardrop

I have started my next project!  This is the Red Noel Teardrop Richard Seekins.  It is on 18 count canvas and is 3 x 5.5 inches.  I have set the ornament cap in Kreinik.  The garland is French knots in Needle Necessities.  There are two rows of Smyrna crosses in Kreinik.  The top of the ornament is a 4 way Continental stitch in DMC fil.  The veritcal lines are also Kreinik.
