Christmas Stitching SAL via Crossed Stitches

 

 

This month my 2 days effort on 12 Days of Christmas by Joan Elliott were spent backstitching.  I completed the backstitch for the maid and the lady, then did the black for the lord, piper, and drummer, and green for the border.  I had a little bit leftover of the green thread on my needle so I stitched “drumming”.   12 Days wip 10-15-16I also worked on Donner.  All the cross stitch is complete and I began the backstitching. 

Donner wip 10-15-16

I finished Angelina!

Angelina FOIn the next month, I hope I can finish Donner.  I will also spend a few days on 12 Days, planning to stitch the gold metallic borders and maybe do some more backstitching.

    12 Days looks fantastic, such a beautiful pattern. And well done on Donner.

    Great work on your Christmas stitching. I couldn’t find any opalescent evenweave on SewandSo’s website so I started to order plain 32 count and remembered I already had some! So I used my voucher for something else and 12 Days will be on plain white. Did you have any issues with the amount of thread in the kit? A couple of people were complaining about JE kits from Designworks on FB today.
    I’m itching to start it every time I see your’s!
