Ornament of the Month 2015 SAL

For many years I have been wanting to do something Christmassy every month so that at the end of the year I'd have a lot of lovely things as Christmas decorations. I had so much fun making ornaments for Stitching Pirates that I thought it would be fun to do one a month for the whole year and end up with 12 new decorations for my tree - or someone else's.


Each ornament will be 35 x 35 stitches - how big that ends up really depends on which fabric you decide to use for it, as on 14 ct Aida it will of course be bigger than on 40 ct linen.

Each ornament will use 3 colours - for the patterns I have decided to use the birthstone colour of the month as the starting point, however if you decide to use another colour, use metallics, variegated thread etc. it's entirely up to you and will make it uniquely yours.

You do not need to sign up for this SAL but if you do use any of the patterns I would appreciate you posting a link to your photo or blog post in a comment on the page of the month that corresponds to your finished ornament so I and everyone else can admire your work.

This means that you can start at any time and perhaps binge stitch them all in December or do the first 6 as a Christmas in July project - it's entirely up to you!

I will post the patterns on this site on the first Friday of the month so that you will have a weekend to work in if you are stitching along with the rest of us.

Note: This post used to be on NCC International Headquarters however I have moved this here so as to have all my patterns in the same place. It has been posted with the date that it was posted to the original site so as not to confuse people visiting my blog.
