Christmas Heirlooms March 1992 Ornament



Christmas Heirlooms March 1992

A new ornament has turned up on eBay, the Christmas Heirlooms March 1992 ornament, which is an egg-shaped design in green and white on 18 count mono canvas.  The ornament itself is 2 3/4 inches by 4 1/4 inches according to the seller.

I've seen this as a Loretta Spears Designs chart called St. Patrick's Day published in March 1992 that uses 18 count mono with no color listed and Mill Hill beads.  There appear to be two versions of this design, in other words.  It is possible that Loretta renamed this design and changed the supplies used because there is also a St. Patrick's Day ornament in March 1995 under the Loretta Spears Designs name.

The auction bidding starts at $9.99 plus $3 for "standard shipping."  Included are the chart and what appears to be the original Santa Fe green mono canvas with Loretta's LS logo.    Many thanks to Aggiestitcher for the photographs.
