This week I made two stitched ornaments with ribbon pansies. The fabric is 28 count fabric and the stitching was done with a single strand of embroidery floss.
The cording was made by twisting then folding 6 lengths of 6 strand embroidery floss.
The backs of the ornaments are personalized.
I fiddled a lot to get the initials lined up so that they looked balanced. Later I figured out that it would have been much easier if I had stacked them, like so.
This is the chart I used for the border.
