1st Christmas

This was designed for Jackson William Latta,

my great nephew

(who was born this summer), for his 1st Christmas.

I thought the candle looked like a #1 and would be appropriate for a 1st Christmas.

The "pillow" is probably not much bigger that 1 1/2" square.

I hand sewed a running stitch to join the two pieces of fabric.

Needed something small for the hanger

so I crocheted DMC floss with the smallest

steel hook I have

(don't remember the number  . but it was TINY!)

Scottish Satire and American Flag Heart

Here are the finished results of this design. I am very pleased with the way they both turned out. The pattern calls for the heart to be outlined in black, and the inside colors outlined in the cross stitch color.




Then, I wondered what it would look like if I outlined everything "outline-able" in black.

Which do you like the best? I've added a pole in the upper right side-bar for your answer to this question. I can't decide myself so I need every one's "professional eye" view to help me out.

I'm not sure if I am going to frame them or finish them as ornaments. Wanna vote on that too? Okay  . help me out here too. I want to send one to Gorgon, the gentleman in Edinburgh who discovered information on my maternal great great grandfather, Watson, who immigrated to the US form Scotland. The 2nd one, I want to send to Bruce, a descendant of James, Grandpa Watson's brother, that Gordon found for me.

Union Jack / Stars and Stripes . . . E-Pattern

I tell you, I just LOVE making these hearts.

I figured

that since I made the Scottish Saltire,

I needed to make a

Union Jack for the United Kingdom.

Saltire / Stars and Stripes Heart

To celebrate my Scottish roots and to make as a Thank You gift for the man who did the research in Scotland for me, I designed a heart combining the Stars and Stripes and the Saltire.

I so enjoy making these hearts with different things in them. If you would like something designed, let me know and we can see what we can work out.
