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.
ReplyDeleteI love the modifications you made to this pattern. I'm stitching the same one but in the suggested pattern and colors. So cute!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
