From the Just CrossStitch 2000 Christmas Ornament Issue, designed by Denise Herrington Pratt of Amaryllis Artworks.

I stitched this on white linen over two, with blue silk and DMC cotton and metallic floss, and Mill Hill beads.

I changed the colors from the original blue, red and gold. (See the original here.)

A free pattern from the Graceful Touch website. (This site appears to have shut down.)

I stitched this on white linen over two, with one strand of DMC floss, one strand of Kreinik Pearl blending filament, and Mill Hill beads. I finished it using "keeper" instructions.

This was one of two color options given for the design.

This design is from Donna Kooler's 555 Christmas Cross-Stitch Designs.

It was stitched on 14-count navy aida with two strands of DMC floss, and two strands of DMC metallics.

I finished it by folding under the edges, stitching a running-stitch just inside the edge with gold metallic, and gluing a piece of felt to the back. The hanger is a length of the same gold metallic.
