Noel, VIII

I turned out to be correct that my first stitching on the ribbon on "Noel" would not line up with my later stitching.  Here is a photo that shows that I have clipped the long stitches in the mosaic to aid me in removing the stitches.  Since it is Very Velvet, it looks really smudgy.  I hope you get the idea. I have entered 3 photographs and I will come back after I publish this blog to look at them and decide which ones to delete.  I haven't figured out a way to view how photographs look after publishing while writing the blog.  So please bear with me.  And don't be surprised when there is only one photograph.

I have been concentrating my efforts on stitching the ribbons.  Along the way, I started stitching one of the uglier ornaments (in my opinion)--the yellow and orange combination.  I have tried and tried to discern what pattern the orange stitches form to no avail.  So, basketweave in petite sparkle rays it was.
