Of Partridges and Pears
I couldn't stop staring at the Ink Circles ornament in the new issue of JCS. Maybe not the right season for it, but I knew the only cure for me was to stitch it up. And once it was stitched, I had to do the finish. I was going for a pear shape, but I guess it's more of a tree shape. Added some chain feather stitching and a little brass heart to cover up the spot where the piping ends meet. I also changed the shape of the pears in the tree to be a little more to my liking. The stitching is on Vikki Clayton's 35 ct linen. I'll put it away now and hold it til a more appropriate time of year.

Great job Annie! Boy, your needles are flying ;o)
That is just beautiful!
I think this one looks great anytime of the year!
Looks great Annie. It does look like a pear, but to make it more obvious needs a little something: a small leaf on the cord.
Still I think it's perfect the way it is. And Christmas is right around the corner, I must hurry and start my stitching!
That's looks just wonderful!! Congratulations!!
This ornament immediately caught my eye when I picked up the magazine last week too! lol Great minds think alike? It looks lovely worked up - I like the way you have done it.
Hugs,
