vintage wooden christmas ornament rendered in needlepoint from Art Needlepoint, stitched & class by needlepoint expert janet m. perry

As you probably know, I love Christmas ornaments and among my favorites are vintage ones made from wood.

Doreen at Art Needlepoint scored some lovely ones last year and has reproduced them on needlepoint canvas. One of the three that feature children, Angel of Love, is pictured here.

These three ornaments are the focus of my upcoming free class with Art Needlepoint, beginning Oct 1. These charming designs really come to life with stitches and threads.

I just love the result.

In the class, not only will you make these three great ornaments, you’ll also learn wonderful stitches and techniques you can apply to other canvases, including:

  • Three ways to stitch hair
  • How to Make “knitted” items look realistic
  • Textured options to Tent Stitch to make even small areas distinctive
  • How to Make an ornament easy to finish

The class is complementary with the purchase of the class kit. To sign up, visit the kit page at Art Needlepoint.
