Gifts

Now that Christmas is behind us and all surprises are revealed, I can show what I made to give away this year. This first photo shows the five ornaments I embroidered for our grandchildren. These are all free-standing lace, meaning that there isn’t any actual fabric; all of the colors are achieved with thread alone. Each of the ornaments has over 26,000 stitches!

 

 

 

 

 

These next two photos show a sort of “gag” gift for our daughters. Actually, the one on the left is not a gag, but the one on the right is. Each daughter had one of each of the two designs.

 

 

 

 

Finally, I embroidered a pair of frameable pieces for each daughter and her partner. These were supposed to be simple little projects, but the cost of custom matting and odd-sized frames made them rather a joke on me! LOL! Our elder daughter and her husband are educators, so these were for them.

Our younger daughter and her partner are very interested in wine, so these  pieces seemed appropriate for them.
