    Debbie,
    How many Christmas ornaments do you stitch for Christmas? I have started some Christmas ornaments and plan to stitch some Christmas bookmarks as well for Crafters 4 Charity. If anyone would like to stitch for this cause and you live in the U.S., let me know and you can mail your stitched items to me and I'll ship them in October to Cathy in Australia when she starts her Christmas charity booths. For more information about this cause: Crafters for Charity

      Anita,

      I stitch any where from 20 to 40 Christmas ornaments a year. Also stitch ornaments through out the year for Birth announcements, wedding, birthday, and even sympathy, really for any reason to celebrate I stitch...Biblemarkers are stitch year round and really stitch up a storm before Easter! (Wished that they still made Ribband)

      Your Charty associations sound great...I commend anyone able to get Christmas stitchery done before October!

    I haven't done any Christmas ornaments in a while, but I have at least 12 lined up to do. I have completed one so far. Go to top

        I like to just pop the finish design into a plastic frame....you can purchase some at:

        To finish the back to a fancy look I use the foil that the candy makers use. Go to top
