Stitching Mementos UPDATED

Suzanne has been stitching a memento of a trip her daughter took to London.

This got me thinking about all those travel ornaments that people stitch in memory of a trip they took.  There are lots available, as Janet Perry shows in this round-up of places to find such things.

Of course any ornament that triggers a good memory will work.  Hope you have fun picking just the right one to stitch this season for Holiday 2015.

UPDATE:  Ridgewood posted a lot of photos of the travel ornaments from Danji.  I rarely see so many in one place.  Some celebrate Christmas in a special spot, some just celebrate the location.  All are great!

Custom Flag Ornaments

Needle Paint has a customer who requested small flags from the countries their family has visited. What a great idea!   There are several designers who do country-themed ornaments (Trubey, Painted Pony, etc.) but if your trips are off the beaten path, a flag might be a good idea.

Need a Flag?

Need a flag stitch for a background? Or maybe for a name tag? Sheena to the rescue!   Just adjust the threads used for the effect you want.
