November 24, 2024--This is the next to the last gift ornament in the Susan Portra Holiday Ornament collection. When finished into an ornament, it will have a curly bow attached to the top where you see a little gold square. This one was a challenge with all the compensation stitches around the fleur-de-lis.

November 13, 2024--Was able to stitch the sides of this "gift" before running out of DMC Rayon thread. While waiting for the order to arrive, I worked up the fleur-de-lis with beads instead of stitching it with french knots (which I hate--can never get them even on the canvas). So now to put it aside until more rayon thread arrives.
