All the ornaments are made, addresses exchanged and mailouts have happened!  THANK YOU ALL for participating in the 2017 Ornament Exchange!

Suggestions for next year is to start the exchange earlier so more people can join the fun and have more time to consider patterns, create their ornaments and be more ready for shipping.  WE AGREE!  2018 should see the ornament exchange start sometime in September or beginning of October :boogie:

:ahoy:  HAPPY HOLIDAYS PIRATES!  :ahoy:

Christmas Tree Avatar by chickenzoo The end of the year and the annual exchange is happening!  The ONLY theme here is to make an ornament or biscornu to exchange with another stitcher.  You can make it seasonal, or just really pretty...whatever you want just make it a cross stitched piece and finish it however you like.

If you want to join in, just leave a comment below stating that you are IN, and if you are not a member of stitchingpirates  it is easy enough to join the group!

Here are the timelines:

Sign-up is from now until November 30th.  PLEASE note Mattsma with your mailing address unless you already know we have it.

Finish your ornament by November 30th.  You can submit your finished ornament to the contest folder.   Merry Tree by BreGee13

SpitfireFae will keep track of all participants and on December 1st Katjakay will auto-generate who sends their ornaments to whom and Mattsma will note everyone to keep the Secret Santa aspect going and to provide you with the address of your recipient.

For those of you who are in the US and ONLY want to send within the US please put that in your comment, and the same goes for the overseas stitchers.  If you are in the UK or European countries and only want to send only over there please put that in your comment.  If you do not mind sending anywhere please specify that as well.

Mail outs will start on December 3rd with all participants finished mailing by December 6th.  If you need more time to mail out, please note SpitfireFae, Katjakay or Mattsma so we can properly notify your recipient of any delay.

This exchange has been very popular and super fun to do.  No pressure other than the time limitation!  We all get to give something pretty to our fellow stitcher and receive something.  No judging, no nail biting, just pure fun.

Need some inspiration?  Keep in mind, your ornament does not have to be Christmas related, it can be any kind of ornament.  Well here you gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!  Let's have some FUN :love:
