She loves the fireplace as well as me and BG. As I pick up and clean the house today, I am bringing out a few Christmas things already. Have to take advantage of the spirit when it comes. :)
Late last night, I stayed up to design a freebie for you to stitch into an ornie. I hope I have the time to stitch a model of this one because I like it alot. I have a remnant of 30 ct Coconut Macaroon which I plan to stitch mine on but any fabric of your choice is fine.
Just remember, not to be sold or kitted and please give credit to Feathers in the Nest!

This would look cute stitched up as an ornie to sit by your favorite Christmas candle or give as a gift with a candle to a friend.
Enjoy!
This freebie is so sweet, Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of gifting it with
a candle. I think I will do just
that, after I make it for our tree.
Bless you!
Jennifer: this is such a lovely pattern I am going to stitch this as my next project.
ReplyDeleteThank-you
Blessings

Hey Jennifer! Glad to see you blogging. Love your design. I need to learn how to do half-stitches. I've just pushed through them in the past hoping I would get 'the look'. Anyway, I may indeed stitch this.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hope you, BG, Abbie, Thomas, Ruby and Raven have a great holiday.
Something I've always dreamed of having in my home is a wood burning fireplace. We did buy recently an electric heater/fireplace, so we do get a little of the atmosphere of a fireplace and the mantle is quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for another fantastic chart. You have such a creative eye for these.
What a sweet freebie Jennifer! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou have been doing a wonderful job with your designs!
Nice freebie!
ReplyDeleteAbbie also looks so cute looking on as you stitch her new sampler. :)
That's Jennifer, it's nice.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving!! :)
