More TCU
Christmas night efforts
We had our Christmas breakfast, we had our Christmas dinner, and after the dishwasher was started for the third time in 24 hours, I finally sat down to stitch. I could have finished the TCU ornament if I had not run out of thread. I picked up the SMU one and did a padded satin on the little red bars. I tent stitched SMU. You can't tell from the scan photos, but I did a T-stitch on the open space around the school initials. Simple, but I hope effective. I got these Dupree ornaments from The Needle Works during the sale.
