It called for a Christmas colors variegated thread, red, green, and gold, but I&#8217;m using Thread Gatherer Aqua Clouds blended with a aqua blue Kreinik filament. The picture does not do it justice! I started it last year, not sure why I didn\u2019t finish then (probably because the Kreinik is a pain!).  But now it&#8217;s in my bag with the plan to get it done this month. That may not happen either but it shouldn\u2019t be too hard to complete in the next month so it\u2019s in the rotation! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_1329-e1569337607767-1024x1024.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2370\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I started a new ornament for the Christmas ornies SAL from the 2010 JCS magazine. This is by Brooke\u2019s Books, stitched on perforated paper using a combination of called for threads and what I could scrounge up that seemed like a good match for the various Kreiniks I don&#8217;t have. I am using some of the new DMC Etoile and also some DMC Light Effects. And when I do the halo it will be with Petite Treasure Braid from Rainbow Gallery. It\u2019s so sparkly! But also will probably not be done this month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/img_1330-e1569337547392-1024x1024.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2368\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally in the interest of getting something finished for this Friday\u2019s Smalls Check in, I\u2019ve devoted some time to the Garden Urn Pin Pillow from Samplers Not Forgotten. It\u2019s almost done!
