This was a hard one for me because I don't have the 2015 Ornament issue and The Bleak Midwinter is not a song I am familiar with. I didn't want to default to the 12 days of Christmas either, so I needed to put my thinking cap on! I printed out the lyrics to the song and decided this ornament from the 2013 Just Cross Stitch Ornament issue would fit the Bleak Midwinter theme.
It is O Holy Night designed by Knotted Tree NeedleArt. I thought it captured the manger, the angels, the lamb and the gift of the shepherd's heart found in the lyrics of the song. I stitched this on 18 count oatmeal aida with the DMC conversion. Finished as a flat ornament with jute twine for the hanger.
I hope everyone is staying well and I can't wait to see your ornaments this month.
