New Patterns

Two new cross stitch patterns are in StitchersLand now. Both charts are Birds Christmas Bubbles and are red. As a rule, European customers prefer The Bullfinch chart, Americans and Canadians choose the Cardinal. Which one is your favourite? I can’t decide which one to stitch first. My heart says Bullfinch; my business requires Cardinal. Maybe I’ll start them both at the same time 🙂

Christmas Stocking

Christmas gift delivered on time, so I can boast about it. My best and most complicated 2020 year stitching – Dimensions Gold Collection Santa’s Journey Stocking, designed by Peggy Abrams. This was my first Dimensions, I bought the kit on https://www.123stitch.com/ , waited a month before it reached me and stitched it in two months. The kit contains presorted thread, metalic thread, wool yarn , 18 count white Aida, felt, beads, needles (one for stitching and one for beading), and instructions with an alphabet. What is it worth buying an original set for? “What makes a Gold Collection design so special? – An extensive colour palette, stitches (and half stitches) that create texture and depth, and exquisite detail are all hallmarks of the Gold Collection. You create a work of art, and heirloom to enjoy for generations to come.”

Christmas Decorations

After completed my biggest and most difficult stitching, I decided to finish some of the projects, I’ve started and put in a drawer, and it turned out, that I have a lot of them. So, the first I’ve finished today is Christmas hanging decor from Orchidea Kit. This Kit contains plastic canvas, presorted MC thread, white-black chart and a needle. Two pictures from this Kit were completed earlier and they are in Newcastle, with my daughter. The last two will be here, in Warsaw, with me. So, I’d like to present you pictures of the Kit itself, the process and completed decoration:

This Decoration is 12 cm x 8,5 cm / 4,7 in x 3,1 in and can be used as a Christmas Tree or wall hanging decoration, as a bookmark, even for a Christmas card making or as Christmas Gift Tag, and in many other ways, I believe.
