Potpourri Stitchers: Christmas Bouquet Ball Ornament (Continued)

We are continuing to work on the beautiful Christmas Bouquet stumpwork piece featured in Inspirations #88. It is a three-dimensional sprig of holly, ivy, and winter roses attached to the top of a 3.5” (9 cm) glass bauble. The holly berries are next. You will need 4 beads, 3/8” diameter, color D red, color I brown, a beading needle, and wire.

Hopefully we can finish a couple so we can get started attaching them to the holly leaf stems. If you’ve wanted practice in working with wired elements, it’s not to late to start this project! Find a copy of the magazine or purchase a digital pattern at https://tinyurl.com/466yudd3. 

This group meets monthly the 3rd Tuesday from 10 am–2 pm.
