Christmas Gifts Between Friends Exchange

Another one I really wasn't expecting to hear from so soon. Cathy has let me know that the Christmas Gifts Between Friends Exchange has arrived. Now silly me has not photographed this one very good as you can't see the tails of the ribbon at all well, but FYI they are sticking out in the bottom right of shot below. I was quite adventureous with the finishing on this one, with the ruched edging! However Cathy nearly never received this one. I had stitched another one for her but it just didn't 'feel' right to send, so went back through the ornament issues and found this design. I just knew straight away it was the one. Oh and silly, silly me forgot to take a photo of the extras. I'm just not used to sending extras now with exchanges so it completely went out of my head. I'm sure Cathy will do the honours. :)

That is a really beautiful ornament Andrea. I wish I could get on with 40ct, I do struggle to see the holes, I must try again with my magnifier.

Love your Be Merry ornament too.
