Okayyyyy.... Got this puppy off a Christmas tree ornament:

http://tinyurl.com/sky5q

No, really I did. It was an ornament with the only word being "Noel." I
sat there in front of the Christmas tree with a piece of graph paper and
meticulously charted every symbol by hand, then expanded it to include
the other words.

Lessee, this happened in Dec 1989, or thereabouts. Possibly 1990. No
later than that.

I know it has to have a copyright, but I also know that the person with
the ornament didn't know where it came from or how old it was.

Help me? Pleeeze???

I don't recognize the actual design but I DO think it looks a lot
like something DVG -- Vermillion Studios -- would design. Then again,
it looks a lot like something from one of the Kooler Design books. If
no one knows for sure, you could try sending the photo to both of them
and asking if it is their design. Good luck in your quest and let us
know if you find out who the actual designer really is, OK? CiaoMeow ^;;^

Thanks bunches, Mary! I looked at Kooler and Donna's sites and didn't
see it, but I'll email and see what happens. I'll let you know.

I'm going to re-do it myself (with different colors and stuff) because I
did it on Aida the first time and GLUED (yes, you read that right) felt
to it to stiffen it. Now, ten years later, it's a little too crusty for
my taste. I'd like to figure out a fun way to finish it other than
bellpull or framing.

It is a very nice design. You could do it on 40 count linen over one
(tent stitch) or do it with surface embroidery using gold metallic
threads and some of the colored pearle threads. Now that could be
fantastic.

Keep us up to date on what you find out and how the project progresses.
