Prairie Schooler ornie

This is Joy to the World from the book Songs of the Season by Prairie Schooler, stitched for our PS group Christmas finished ornament exchange.

Hah, now that Linda received it, proud me can safely show it. Don't ask how many hours it took this bad finisher to get to this result! LOL

The photo doesn't show the sparkles in the opalescent fabric nor the real "bright", "golden" and sparkly colors, but that's the best shot I was able to take. For the hay, I cut rafia in tiny tiny bits and glued it safely in place. I forgot to take a picture, behind is a Christmas red and green fabric.

It is stitched with my choice of overdyes, I didn't use the DMC the chart called for. Also, I used gold braid for the rays and the halo around the heads instead of regular floss.

I am so glad you like it, Linda! It was a pleasure to stitch it for you!
