The robin is from the Victorian designs someone here sent me (I've done several from those) and the two cardinals are from a Dimensions pamphlet (#314) called Holiday Mumms, by designer Debbie Mumm. I bought it several years ago, so not sure if it's still around.
Thanks for the info--I'll be doing a bit of searching--especially like the Holiday Mumms ones. :)

I just found this thread...what a great idea! There is some lovely stitching on here, and very inspiring! :D

This is my first attempt at a stitched ornament.

Stitched 2 over 2 on Enchanting Lair's 40 ct Blue Frost.

Looking forward to seeing more work from everyone!

Kyla, that's a lovely ornament, the sparkles in the material work great with it and your finish is just stunning!

Karen, lovely to see it stitched up --but brave you for attempting all those fractionals on aida :shock: -- I'm safely doing mine on evenweave :-)

Wanda, if you PM me I'll gladly send you the chart to use.
