Lavender Sachet and a Christmas Ornament

 I have been working on stash and WIP/UFO reduction this year. Here are some more finishes.

This is Honeysuckle. A lavender sachet kit I purchased at my local needlework shop when I lived in Colorado. It is from The Textile Heritage in Scotland. It is about 2" by 3".

Then I pulled out a painted canvas and turned it into our 2025 Christmas ornament. My hubby played trumpet in his high school band, so this one is for him. No stitch guide. I used Kreinik braid from my stash and Father B's Background stitch in green and red floss.

I finished it to hang with the mouthpiece up because my hubby said that is how it is held. For the red edging around the piece, I used Marion Scoular's corded edging technique from her book Advice is ... for listenting not necessarily taking!! 

This is the back. It is about 2" x 5"

Happy Christmas in July!!
