Hello, dear friends! Well here we are on the last of the Barnyard Christmas series (or at least for now) . Were you trying to guess what would be the next farmyard critter? Well let me introduce you to Ruby, the Christmas goat, though hubby thought she looked more like a reindeer. On this snowy day, Ruby is pulling a little cart with Frosty the snowman and Henrietta in tow.
We never really had many goats on the family farm, but about 18 years ago we did have one where I reside now and her name was Ruby. Ruby ate about everything and loved to go up and down the hill near the woods where her job was to clear out an overgrown area. She did her job well. My girls loved to go out and look at Ruby, but they never took care of her. Ruby stayed for a short time until a better home was found for her, and though she is gone, she remains in my heart .
This is a small stitch measuring the same as the others in the series at 31 x 31. I stitched mine on 14 count aida which would give it a size of 2 1/4" x 2 1/4".
If you are interested in stitching Ruby and her crew , check out the pdfs below . Each page is on a separate pdf.

Happy stitching, ya'll

I would love to see your stitch. You can always direct message me on Instagram or use #pinkernpunkinquilting . I have enjoyed seeing all of the different versions of the Barnyard stitches and the finishes. Your creativity inspires and motivates me.
What an adorable ornament you created with Ruby the goat in mind, Melisa! I am looking forward to seeing your Christmas farm/barn tree. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteAah thank you so much, Robin. I racked my brain on how to create this little goat, but once I started charting him, he came out quickly. I have been working on my tree, but it still needs a little something. I hope to have it together soon. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Melisa
DeleteMerci pour ta générosité, tu nous offres une nouvelle fois un joli modèle. J'adore les chèvres et dis toujours à mon mari que si l'on avait un terrain plus grand j'en mettrai au moins deux afin qu'elles ne s'ennuient pas... Il me répond toujours, toi et tes animaux !! Nous avons déjà 5 chats et 2 poules.... :)
ReplyDeleteJe ne commencerai la décoration de la maison et du sapin que début décembre.

Hi, Christel. Thank you so much for visiting me and for the sweet comment. We used to have different animals here at the house but unfortunately we do not have any now. I would love to have kitties and chickens again. They are always entertaining. It sounds like a goat or two would make a great addition to your pet family. I have been busy trying to get out my Christmas decorations. It is a job but so much fun. I hope you have a lovely weekend . Hugs,Melisa
