A few weeks ago, I posted on my Facebook page a photo of a goldwork & silk embroidered Christmas ornament that I embroidered a looooooooong time ago!
In fact, I had completely forgotten about this little project (and its really bad photography – which unfortunately can’t be re-done). I came across the pictures of my stitching progress on it when digging through photos, in search a different picture altogether.
A few friends on Facebook asked for a list of articles for this project, and lo! I realized I never made an index for it. Tsk, tsk!
With Christmas a mere three months away, I wanted to make it available again for those of you who haven’t seen it and for stitchers looking for some ideas for embroidering or finishing a special Christmas ornament.
I’ve definitely learned a lot since I worked this particular project – not just about stitching and finishing, but also about photography, blogging, computer organization, and lots of other little nuances.
Still, I think many of the tips and techniques in this project could be helpful to embroiderers interested in goldwork, silk, or ornament finishing. You might find some ideas that will help with your stitching, and better yet, you can learn from my mistakes!
