December 4, 2016--The threesome of diamond ornaments is now finished and ready to hang. I loved how easy it was to just glue (using my trusty tape gun) each layer onto another, measure, cut, then done.

December 1, 2016--Here's the last of the trio designed by Kurdy Biggs. I have so much enjoyed stitching up these beautiful ornaments on perforated paper, and they worked up quickly. I just returned from Michael's Arts & Crafts with some very pretty paper to place on the back. Pictures of the finished ornaments will be posted soon.

September 20, 2016--I found the instructions for these Christmas Diamond ornaments by Kurdy Biggs of Threedles in the November/December 2015 issue of
Needlepoint Now Magazine and knew I would have to stitch them. There are five examples using three different patterns, two of which were stitched on perforated paper. Never having worked with perforated paper, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to give it a try. I found some off-white 14 count paper and decided dark blue thread would look good, so below is my progress to date on ornament number one. Still have additional beads to stitch (ran out and had to order more) but am very pleased with the look so far.
The instructions in the magazine lacks details about the threads used for all three of the different patterns and Kurdy Biggs was very helpful in getting me the information I needed. The problem was one of space--there wasn't enough room for the instructions and the full thread list when the article was published. If you decide to stitch these ornaments, Kurdy is very helpful in supplying any additional information you may need.
