The index will be listed under Tips & Techniques in the main menu on Needle ‘n Thread, under Hand Embroidery Lessons & Step-by-Step Projects, where you can find a list of most of the embroidery projects and lessons we’ve gone through together over the years.

I had so much fun making this ornament, that it isn’t impossible I might do something similar again next year. Oh, not the same ornament, of course – but some kind of ornament.
Hey, I might even start it earlier, if I can remember to plan ahead – but that’s a Mighty Big If!
Wishing you a restful, quiet, relaxing Christmas Eve – safe travels if you’re traveling, and good cheer if you’re staying home!

Merry Christmas and enjoy a well deserved rest! I truly enjoy your blog and it is hard to believe that you have been posting for 8.5 years. Your blog is wonderful!
Ha! Just yesterday – after I saw the finished ornament – I went through past blog posts to save all pertinent ornament posts in my reader favorites. If only I would have waited a day, I would have seen this very nifty post. 🙂
