I am making progress with my Vintage Christmas Cross Stitching.
I started this project last December and after much thought ...
I decided to use the blue Aida 11 that had been in my closet for years.
The pattern is
This year when it came time to stitch the motifs,
I decided to limit my color palette to white, red, green, golden yellow
and gingerbread brown.
My motifs are a variation of those in the pattern.
Some of the changes are intentional,
some are a "design option" created by a counting miscue,
like the left handed mitten.
It is not perfect but I am enjoying the process.
I hope to have this done before I put away my Christmas decorations this season.
That may or may not happen as I have an image in my head that will
involve extra stitching and finishing steps.
Happy Stitching!

I like your changes, especially the blue Aida cloth. Cute.
I love the modifications you made to this pattern. I'm stitching the same one but in the suggested pattern and colors. So cute!
I like the changes...especially to the blue aida. I think it helps make the little motifs stand out. I always enjoy when a stitcher makes changes to make a project their own...intentional or not. It is one of the things that makes us stitchers artists. Happy stitching!
