Victoria Sampler Hearts of America - Hawaii
stitched over 2 on 25 ct. evenweave fabric with DMC and specialty threads
I used the same fabric on the back and stitched their names and the date, laced both pieces on heart shaped pieces of cardboard (what a pain! but surprisingly easier than gluing once you get the hang of it, especially for non-heart shaped pieces!). Then I stitched the two halves together, and finished the edge with some fancy gold cording (that I bought. AND attached with hot glue. The horror!)
I know it's a little after Christmas, but the recipient is my best friend, and also still has her tree up, so there's a good chance that this will be hanging on her tree in Virginia by the weekend. Woo hoo!!! And only 10 more in their set to go!!

A very nice ornament, and so thoughtfully chosen for your friend.
Hmm, I know everything about that glueing job. Next time I'll try to lace as well.
Beautiful ornament for your friend:)

Very impressive and thoughtful. I'm going to send all my heart shaped ornaments to you ;o)
Wow! A very pretty and thoughtful gift for your friends.
I never use glue for the ornaments, I whip stitch them - no mess;-)).
Another lovely, personal piece! Lucky them!
This one makes me longing for Spring. It's beautiful!
