On it's way

I finally finished it! It looks a little rough, the finishing was fiddly trying to hold stuffing, fold the edges, and stitch at the same time. I hope it isn't disappointing to it's new owner. This is the first time I tried finishing this way, so I was learning as I went. The idea came from a 1982 Vanessa Ann leaflet called Mistletoe Express. I just changed fabric colors, floss colors, and added 4 other motifs.

It goes in the mail tomorrow morning, winging it's way across the sea! I hope it arrives in time.

This little goodie is ready to wing it's way to a secret locale in Europe.
Simone's ornie exchange 2007
He's based on a Trail Creek Farm pattern from one of the JCS ornament issues, but I was compelled to change all the colors, add metallic, switch the word from "Joyous" to "Merry," and add that JABC cardinal. What can i say, I can't help but fiddle with patterns.
