JCS Ornament Issue

I LOVE the annual Just Cross Stitch ornament issue.  I anticipate designing for it as much as you anticipate the publication! This year's ornament is titled "Fresh Fallen Snow".  It is stitched on Weeks Dye Works Cocoa with Belle Soie from Crescent Colours.  Looking at it right now it reminds me of a quilt.  Imagine the block repeated  3 across and three down, changing the house to red and leaving the trees green.  You'd have a full sized design created with 36 individual squares!


I know there are still copies of the magazine available and it is such a bargain with so many designs to choose from!  Thank you for finishing it Vonna!!

  9. I stitched this one for an ornament exchange. I usually love your designs, but I did a lot of frogging on this one with the snowflakes. But the end result is just lovely as the flakes look like lace from a distance. I did find a misprint in the bottom right snowflake printed in the JCS issue, but it was easily remedied.
