Hi fellow stitchers! I think I'm glutton for punishment...LOL!! I've decided to try all four themes this year...and though it was a real challenge, I think I did ok this month. I sincerely hope I can find time this month to fully finish these, but I kind of doubt it. I'll try to do better next month.
For Theme One I chose to stitch the 12 Days of Christmas from the 2001 Cross Stitch Designs book by Better Homes and Gardens. I know the fabric looks dark in this picture, but I used 32 count Ice Blue fabric and stitched over two. Here is a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
For Theme Two , Christmas Movies- Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer I chose a design from the 2007 Nov/Dec JCS Issue called Sparkling Country Ornaments. I chose the reindeer and changed the nose color to red.
For Theme Three-Any ornament from the 2014 JCS Ornament issue, I chose Snowy Days by Little House Needleworks. It is stitched on 25 count natural over one.
It's been a challenge finding patters for some of these...but kind of fun in a way. The way I'm going I may have to have some ornament give-aways on my blog toward the end of the year. I'll let you know if I do. haha See you next month...till then Happy Stitching!
