Quick cross stitch for Christmas




I saw something in a magazine that gave me the idea for this simple cross stitch wall hanging. It should be a quick stitch for someone. It can be stitched in gold or a gold coloured floss blended with Kreinik blending filament. I wish I had the time to do it myself but I have presents to stitch and I haven't done any for about a week.

Peace on earth

Here is my latest design/stitching project. I was playing the other night and came up with this and decided that I had to stitch it. Unfortunately the scan doesn't show up the colour of the cloth as well as I would like it to, it looks navy blue but it is quite a bright royal blue. Also it doesn't show up the sparkly bits in the snowflakes, but I think it is OK. The letters are stitched in white and the flakes are stitched with 2 strands of white and one strand of 032 Kreinik blending filament. It is roughly 8" wide by 5 " high.

It is a quick stitch and only took me a couple of hours for about 3 nights. Easy to do while watching television. It looks a bit skewiff but I just couldn't get it to sit straight in the scanner.
