Thanks so much! It’s always nice to have hand made things at this time of year I think – makes it special and means more!

I think it turned out great and it’s a lovely Christmas ornament. Thank you for joining the Holidays Celebration Link Party this week. Pinned!

Yes, that was basically my approach to mounting it. A needlelace Christmas tree sounds lovely, and you must have worked it quickly! I completely understand what you mean about it might being finished next year – where does the time go?!

If i’m mounting a circle, I always gather it first and then lace across the back, going round sort of like you do in Rhodes stitch. I just have to finish the needle lace Christmas tree I started at Guild yesterday, but looking at my to do list, it may be happening for next year!

Oh I hadn’t thought about a thin wadding – thanks for the tip!

Yes, backing the silk would have been a good idea. I always pad things like this when I’m finishing them. The very lightest of wadding is fine, just enough to give all the stitches a lift.
