T|o celebrate Valentine's Day at this week's guild meeting, we had an exchange of heart ornaments. This is the delightful ornament I received from Freda Murfin.
Love the beading on the edge and the way is each side is a reverse of the other!
The ornament I made was not nearly as elegant - I feel rather badly. It was designed to be a door hanger since I couldn't figure out what people do with valentines' ornaments - do people actually have valentines trees, I wondered? It is a simple cross stitch design on linen, sewn together and the edges frayed out to make a fringe. I intended to cover the sewing line with a white embroidered chain stitch but ran out of time. My bad!
