Dickens Village Ornament finish
I thought I'd be posting this a long time ago, since I wanted to do an ornament a month this year. It's March but better late than never! This ornament seemed to take a lot of stitching, I think my next choice is going to be smaller and simpler. This is from the leaflet "Dickens Village Ornaments" by Margaret & Margaret. There are 5 patterns for little Victorian houses in the leaflet. I adore house ornaments and end up buying a few each year it seems if I happen to see any while out Christmas shopping. :) Eventually I hope to do the other 4 house ornaments but it may take a while. It's charted for DMC on 26-ct fabric but I used my own silk conversion since I wanted the ornaments a bit smaller. Even with 36-ct fabric this turned out about 3.5" X 4".
