Fully Finished Gallery SAL #2



I only managed to finish 3 projects for February, but I did use 5 of the 25+ ornaments from my pile.  I made the Star/Rudolph into a pillow ornament.  I will add a hanger soon.  These patterns are from the Cross Stitch Christmas 2001 magazine.  


The 2nd finish Christmas Snowflake was found in magazine I borrowed in 2007 from my friend Lisa.  I made this project into a pin cushion, but I might add a hanger when I do the other ones.

The 3rd project is a 2 sided (cat/snowflake) flat ornament (pillow without the stuffing ... because I forgot to stuff it before closing it up :).  Christmas Cat #1 is from The Magic of Christmas pattern leaflet/book.  Snowflake A is from Just Cross Stitch - December 1997 magazine.  I will make a nicer hanger when I make one for the star/Rudolph ornament.

  1. Thank you so much for joining in the SAL again. I'm going to count your lovely finishes as 5 because that's how many pieces of stitching you used!
    I love the way the pincushion's been finished off; I would never have thought of folding the fabric that way, and since it saves having to cover up the side seams that's definitely another technique to add to add to my list - thank you! :)

    1. Thanks for visiting Rachel. I saw this folding fabric technique on other stitching blogs over the years. I like it because you don’t need any other fabric for the back. :)

  3. I like how you finished the pincushion. Sort of like a biscornu. Lovely finishes.
