As the New Year begins, I have two more Christmas Ornaments I have completed stitching. The first one, Merry Christmas was a freebie I have had for some time but had no info on other than the chart. I decided to search and see if I could locate it to see if it was a legal chart and not a stolen one. I was able to find it after much searching.

I chose to stitch this one on a piece of 14ct Opalescent aida and leave off the border. I used Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss – Kris Kringle Green, Victorian Christmas for the lettering and Cranberry Red for the berries. I will probably finish it as a small pin pillow maybe using one of the fabrics shown in the photo below.
The second one I actually finished in 2021. Joy was another freebie from Misty Purcell of Luminous Fiber Arts from her newsletter. Again, I stitched this one on 14ct Opalescent aida with Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Victorian Christmas. I will also finish this one as a small pin pillow for my Christmas dough bowl.
Both are darling, Pat!
