Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great week with lots of stitching time. I worked more hours than usual this week so only had time for a quick stitch. This is actually the second time that I stitched this piece. The first one was given to a friend for a Christmas gift, but this one is just for me. This LHN piece is called "Woodland Snowfall" and can be found in the 2004 JCS Christmas Ornament issue. I used a khaki colored 18-ct. davos fabric with DMC threads.
Because this was such a quick stitch this week, I actually had time to finish Woodland Snowfall into a little ornament (I know--you're shocked!). I backed it with the holly fabric shown in the background, added a rope hanger, and some tiny holly leaves for decoration. I just love the little woodland squirrels with their berries in hand. Although I'm not so crazy about them when they get into our bird feeders...
I know that I owe several of you emails and will attempt to get caught up this weekend. In the good news department, my foot is much, much better and I was even able to log a few miles on my treadmill this week. Finally... Can't wait to read your blogs and catch up with everyone this weekend!
beautiful Carol!! I have actually stitched this one myself!! Finally, one that you didn't get to enable me with!!!! I got a copy of the magazine with last week's in it!!!Woohoo!! I plan to start it REAL SOON!!! Keep up the great work & wonderful news about the treadmill!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI knew that ooked familiar ... it is a clever little design and one I had stitched back in the day. I think your version is lovely ... the addition of the tiny holly sprigs is inspired.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, another beauty. I stitched this too and gave it away. DH liked it a great deal and wants me to stitch another:) Miss you, have a great weekend!
