Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Well its the middle of summer but that just means its less than 6 months to Christmas, just enough time to organize an ornament exchange and stitch up an ornament.

Obviously the item should be an ornament. style, finishing, size and such is up to the creator but please make it something you would want to display in your own home.

You send the ornament to the person below you on the list, the person on the bottom of the list sends to the person on the top of the list. PM the person you are sending to for their mailing address.
Ornaments should be sent no later than November 15th

You read my mind! I was going to start this in the next few weeks thanks for volunteering your time I'd suggest making the deadline to ship though around the last week of November (maybe even mid month) depending on where you are shipping too and we would be ahead of the rush and hopefully avoid lost ornaments!last year it took almost a month for some people to get their ornament and Christmas had already passed.

Canada...will ship anywhere

Updated the list,
14 already, hope this turns into a really successful exchange.

I am interested but am not really sure what you mean by ornament, i dont usually do smaller things so can we have some clarification on types of things accepted and size etc, Thanks

ornament as in a christmas ornament. pretty much anything small that you would hang on a christmas tree. typically not more than 6" but thats not set in stone.

there are many ways to finish an ornament, http://pinwheelponders.blogspot.ca/ has several ideas

it could be cross stitch, blackwork, hardanger, whatever you feel like. there are many ornament charts and kits available, http://www.123stitch.com/CrossStitchChr ... ments.html has a large selection, or you could be creative and design your own.

as with all things needlework, its up to you.

hope that helps

oh thats smashing thanks
Yes please count me in too Cristaltipps UK ship to anywhere.

ughh had mine all picked out and ready to go opened the chart...and found a bunch of 1/4 stiches under back stitching...back to the drawing board....
