Christmas Treasures 1 of 4

On DUCJC Day 7 I started Christmas Treasures from JCS Dec 2015 issue. Here is what they will look like again...
I'm not doing them "Christmassy" I guess so mine are just treasures haha. Here was my first day progress on the left one from Jan...
Tiffstitch had a giveaway for these beautiful Jodyri threads. This one is called Tulip Gardens. I just love how delicate it looks. Here it is now after 3 days...
I have 2 more borders to do. So it's going to stay out so I can see if I can finish it up. We have some plans this weekend. Izzy (our dog) has an vet appointment tomorrow. After that Fred is taking me to my LNS to get some pieces in to be framed. Sunday we are going down to visit family. My Grandpa is turning 80 next week so we want to go visit and say Happy Birthday. Have a great weekend!!

I was looking at these too! I thought since there are four, they'd make a lovely seasonal set if done in different threads. Love your sparkly fabric and those threads are gorgeous!

Katie, your Treasure is looking beautiful. Jodyri threads seem to be all the rage at the moment and I can clearly see why! I do hope your framed pieces come back from the framers soon - I'm eagerly waiting to see which ones you have had framed and how. :)
