Here is my first ornament of 2009. The design is a free chart from Michaels online, but I do not know if it is still available. I used #12 gold braid for the suggested grey (shadows) and directionalized all the braid in half stitches but it doesn't show up in the photo very well, sigh. The fabric is cherry 18ct aida.
