Christmas comes, Christmas went and I had no ornament to show except those I received from HoE exchanges. Thank you so much for these exchanges. In the last Round, I stitched this Santa for my partner, Roberta Smith. I love Santa and this Round is the Stitcher's Choice. I hope Roberta loves it too!

In return, I received a beautiful ornament from Becky K. She knows I love Santa and sunflowers, so what better than a Santa with Sunflowers. This design is also by The Prairie Schooler. I love this ornament, thank you Becky for this great exchange.
I did managed to finish stitching Red Santa after Christmas. This ornament will be on my Christmas tree next year, ha, ha!

Here is a picture of my small Christmas tree with all those ornaments I received.
I have two last finishes for 2011. First is the SAL hosted by The Thread Basket and C Mon Monde. The SAL was scheduled to be completed by Dec 14th but I only finished the stitching on Christmas Day. I enjoyed stitching this sampler, a beautiful winter scene. Thank you so much, Valarie and Virginia for this SAL.

Oh Ellen, I love those ornaments. Aren't PS ornaments some of the best out there?
Congratulations on the two last finishes. They are both really great. Looking forward to seeing what you will be making with them.
Happy new year to you, too.
Three wonderful Santa ornaments. I love them all especially the cute BOAF one.
Your SAL piece is such a pretty finish as is the Eiffel Tower Quaker.
Happy stitching in 2012!

Happy New Year to you and family.
Adorable Santas and the tree look great. Loved the Quaker colors.
Congrads on finishing your SAL.
Beautiful ornaments!
Congrats on your two gorgeous finishes! I just love them both. Will you frame them soon?
Very pretty Ellen. I like the Praire Schooler santa with the sunflower. I might have to do that one. Your package came back yesterday and I had to remail it today. Looks like the postal machine ate it. I kept the receipt this time. I used a plastic wrapping this time. Havent had that happen before. Sorry for the delay. You have a nice collection of santas now.
