At the November meeting Cissy Bailey Smith of Gentle Pursuit Designs presented the TRSG holiday ornament she designed for us. This unusual design, produced especially for the Tudor Rose Sampler Guild, features cross stitch, Florentine stitch, and Nun stitch, as well as two different types of silk. The ornament is triangular and self-lined with a trap door on the back that allows the ornament to double as a scissor keeper. Cissy reviewed the instructions in detail, and gave some tips and tricks.
Here are some stitched pieces shared by members:
December’s plans are to have a holiday ornament exchange. Each year members sign up to stitch and finish a holiday ornament for a secret someone. During this meeting each ornament will be shown along with the reveal of their secret stitcher. This is a really fun evening even if you choose not to participate in the exchange. You will go away being enabled!
will the pattern be emailed to us. We had a sick great grandchild who was ill and needed extra care
