Next up is a Blue Ribbon design which I stitched a little while ago from a JCS Magazine. I did manage to get a little bit of a of a border on the side but I am not sure I have done it right but is only for me so it doesn't really matter. I think I may have cracked the ladder stitch for closing at least I understand the theory now I just need more practise.
I do have some more finishes to do but I think four in a day is enough, well for me anyway. I think I have a couple left, one of which is a gift.
I am stitching on a SAL with Angela this week but will tell you more about that later.
Until next time, happy stitching
Love Lesleyanne xx

Lovely finishes Lesleyanne x
Good on you for getting some finishing done Lesleyanne - I'm procrastinating as per usual! ;0)
Lovely finishes. I love the ladder stitch for making unseen closures xx
Well done on cracking the ladder stitch, it certainly boosts the confidence when you feel you have mastered something. Your little ornaments are really lovely.
You've gotten some lovely finishes there, Lesleyanne! You're braver than I am - I just send mine to my mom and go, "here, finish this for me, please."
they both are very pretty finishes..well done..
hugs xx
Yes, that ladder stitch. I still use directions I printed out, every time to make sure I am starting out right. But it sure does a nice job doesn't it? http://astitchersstory.blogspot.com/
You've got a lot of finishes done! They are lovely!!
Lovely finishes

Very cute bunny rabbit. Well done on the ladder stitch, I've not attempted it yet.
Two lovely finishes!
Your finishes look lovely.
I hope you'll have fun stitching on the SAL.
Hugs Yvon.
Finishing frenzies are always good :) Great job with your ornaments!
Great job with the finishing, you picked excellent backing fabrics to co-ordinate!
Both finishes look brilliant Lesleyanne :)
Great job and perfect backing fabrics! I hope to have a finishing frenzy some day too!
Such cute ornaments--the Good Tidings one is one of my favorites and you did a great job on it, Lesleyanne :)
Both your finishes are fab Lesleyanne, I have not managed any Christmas ornies in awhile. I usually get a few done for the tree each year and the ornie exchange I took part in this year ended in the summer. I look forward to seeing more of your completions :-)
Both look so pretty :) you did a great job sweetie :D
Lovely finishes and stitching! I love the little bunny with the wreath!
