Heather Silver Lotus is stitching the Byzantine Ornaments as her contribution to the Smalls SAL and I love them. She has inspired me to start mine.
I am using a burgundy 28 count linen which I had scraps of in my stash. Not much of a margin but just enough!
Here is my progress on Ornie 1:
You can see the thread sorter I have made because the same gold colours are used in each design. They are so similar and yet in traditional TW style she has chosen to blend them!
Because I changed the fabric colour, I have changed the accent colour too. The originals use green, blue or lilac but I will use red 321 for each ornament.
I'm going to continue with this one today and see if I get a Bank Holiday Monday finish.

Jo, such a gorgeous ornament start. And these reds of the fabric and the threads, absolutely my colours.
It's so beautiful dear friend..
Happy stitching x
Love the red and golds together - magically Christmas.
Gorgeous! Love that fabric colour... the gold is going to look stunning - can't wait to see it finished :o)

So pretty!! Great choice using 321 as the accent color :)
