Circle Ornaments—The Boo Team

The ‘Circle Ornaments’ are something a little different from Handblessings Patterns. First they are stitched on perforated paper which is so easy to finish. They are a fun round shape with a pair of designs in each pattern. These adorable little pumpkins each have their own personality; they make a great team. They are easy to stitch and fun to hang around. All the Circle Ornaments can be stitched on 14 count aida cloth or 28 count linen or evenweave. The Boo Team would look charming in round frames. Contact Eileen at Handblessings for more information.
