I participated in 3
different Christmas ornament swap in the last months. The first swap was for a
cross stitched Santa ornament. The
pattern for my skating Santa came from an old pattern sheet without info. I
think it’s from the seventies.
Luckily there was a
matching fabric in my stash for the backside.
Barbara made this cute
sleeping Santa for me in a 3 inch hoop.
In the second swap it
didn’t matter what kind of material you used. I crocheted a star, designed by
Brenda Smits. The pattern came from the book
Kerstballen haken.
Aletta made these pretty
ornaments for me in papier mâché.
The last swap was fabric
related. I sewed a 5 inch stocking on my sewing machine for Marja.
And Marja made these cute
boots for me. Love the snow on them!
Thanks Barbara, Aletta and Marja!
These are all so adorable!

BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Susan. It was an early Christmas this year, I received the first swap in October!
VerwijderenEverything is wonderful- incoming and outgoing. The skates look great with the jewel thread.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThanks, Maureen. DMC jewell effect is perfect for a few cross stitches. I tried it once on French knots, . . . not such a good idea!
