Once again I am following the 12 Days of Christmas theme. This year I am stitching the Jardin Prive 12 Days as my monthly project. I am also continuing with the large Bothy Threads' design but won't be completing one block of those per month!
As per previous years, I started the 12 Days on Boxing Day and stitched one day for the next 12 days. Then I returned to Day 1 and finished it.
Here are the 12 starts:
This is Day 1, completed 6th January, 2022:
I'm using a gorgeous 32 count linen called Millenium Blue and Anchor threads. I have quite a few Anchor threads I inherited from a friend who gave up cross stitch when she became a professional crochet designer. They are ideal for projects like this.
The fabric is lovely but it can be difficult to choose the right shade of green. I tried two different greens and the brighter, lighter one in Day 2 looks much better. So Day 1 will be frogged and restitched.
I'm planning to finish these as individual ornaments.

Love the blue fabric, Jo, both Day 1 and 2 look fabulous. Thank you for taking part in the Christmas Ornie SAL this month.
Very pretty Jo.
That fabric is so pretty! And I agree with which green you are choosing. They are beautiful ornaments :)
