If you have lots of leftover threads and bits of canvas you can't bear to throw away, how about using them in a Christmas ornament project from Susan Portra?

It would be a great learning project for a new stitcher and a great project for a local guild to have fun with, too, particularly if you want to decorate a library or stitch for a fund raiser. All you need are copies of the magazine and a pile of extra supplies to use up.
Many thanks to Brenda for showing us how much fun we can have with leftovers!

Trust me, as the one who readies these stitch guides for the magazine, these Susan Portra ornaments are NOT for the beginning stitcher!
That's one thing that is hard to judge. They look easy to me but we forget the hurdles we had to learn as beginners, don't we? Thanks for the input!
