Here are gifts 9-12 from my Advent Exchange, a hand towel with a stitchable band for personalisation, a set of handy highlighter pens for marking off charts, knitting patterns etc (if the girls don't pinch them), a packet of assorted emery boards and some lovely hand cream and body scrub. This exchange is so much fun.
I can show the ornament I sent to Melanie in the Gift of Stitching exchange now, I killed two birds with one stone and used the design from the Nov/Dec Challenge on
Needlecraft Haven so I couldn't show it until Reveal Day which was yesterday.
Our challenge was either of
these two designs from Log Cabin Needlework. I chose the Noel design and stitched it in WDW and Thread Gatherer threads, it is finished with a flamboyant bow that started life on a box of Thornton's, and is backed with the vintage fabric shown (
Rag Rescue again). I really love this one and may have to stitch it again for myself.
The album is
here and shows what a difference thread choices can make to a design.

I love the large bow you've added to your ornament, Christine--really gives it some punch! It was fun to see how everyone else stitched that as well--fabric and thread do make such an amazing difference!
You did a beautiful job on your ornament - I love the big red bow!
