After cleaning house all day, I was determined to do some stitching this evening and I wanted to finish something! There were a total of four different Hardanger ornaments in the pattern booklet from Satin Stitches (Donna M. Olson). I completed the first three a few weeks ago and had started the fourth one - tonight I finished it!
These are quick to stitch and would be really quite easy even for a novice at Hardanger. I think that I will probably make more of these between now and Christmas to give as gifts.
I may try to finish another smaller project tomorrow night - we'll see.
Here's to a good week of stitching!

I like the new hardanger ornament - very cute. I really like how it's got a contrasting colour in the centre - really changes the look. Happy dancing for ya :-)
You've done a great job on this piece Cathy! It is gorgeous.
You say it was quick and easy but it looks very complicated to me! Congratulations, it looks great.
yes, EASY FOR YOU, to do quickly. Awesome job ; )
You are inspiring me to pull out my hardanger books and try it again! Another very pretty ornament - congrats on the finish!
