July 20, 2015--Ever since I first read about Susan Portra's holiday ornaments in the
Needlepoint Now magazine beginning with the November, 2013 issue, I decided I would stitch them all. There will be a total of 24 ornaments altogether and so far 12 have been published in the magazine through July, 2015: 3 bells, 5 gifts, and 4 lights (pictures below *). Today I sat down to determine what threads need to be purchased and what can be used out of my stash and am planning a shopping trip to my closest LNS, a 3 hour drive from my home. The trip will include an overnight stay at a dear friend's home and, of course, I'll bring wine. Life is sooo good!
