Hardanger Ornament

This post is a continuation of a previous post I made several days back.

  I had made a Hardanger Cross Bookmark and had fabric leftover.

Mmmm.....  What to do with leftover fabric?

  Make something else was my final decision.

I found this small motif or ornament in a book I had and decided to try it.

The name of the Hardanger book is A Nordic Christmas I In Hardanger Embroidery

by Members of the Nordic Needle Staff.

I think it turned out rather nicely.

I just need to add a few decorative beads in the big squares and 

some detail work to the center and I will be done.

I did go to the craft store today to find some beads, but when I 

got home I noticed they cost me $12.  That is too much

for 4 beads needed for this project.  I will try a different store tonight

to see if I can find anything else.
