Well, I had to change that state of affairs! A while ago I had kitted an ornament from Just Cross Stitch Magazine 2001. It is called Gemstone Heart by Hermanson Hardanger. Since it was ready to go, I picked it up. Except for the beads, I got it done in 3 sessions. I accidentally changed the color of those big Rhodes squares-they should be the cream color. But I do like them sparkly so I left them. So fancy! This will be the dreaded heart finish. I will do my best to have it ready for the tree this year anyway, if I can get the beads. I need copper color beads and I do not have anything that fits the bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/hardanger-heart.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>These are my first picots!
