February Ornament

Here is my February ornament for the Montly Ornament SAL. This one is a Birds of a Feather design from an old (2000) JCS Ornament issue. Well its based on it anyway, I missed off the border and all the little metallic gold confetti stitches that were scattered all over it, and I changed the text from green to red.
Its stitched in Rayon threads, which, in hindsight, was a mistake on 40ct fabric, but we live and learn...

Another gorgeous ornie Christine. Don't blame you for leaving off those confetti stitches though - would have done the same. Looks fab without them. :0)
