52. Little Stitcher 12 Days of Christmas Day of Finishing

Day of Finishing
From The Little Stitcher 12 Days of Christmas booklet.

Stitched on 32 count Vintage Grain Linen

51. Joan Elliott Green Goddess

Stitching information:

Fabric - 32 count Murano Sunlit Heath by Crafty Kitten

Threads - as charted in DMC and Kreinik

Beads - Mill Hill as charted

Changes - I smoothed her jawline as my Mum prefers that to the "stepped" look.  I left off the large square border as we preferred her as a circle.

Chart - originally in the Ultimate JE Collection and now available as a chart from Joan Elliott or her suppliers (JE039)

Trivia Fact - the fabric was a Ltd Edition which Dawn decided to add to the collection after I kept asking for pieces of it.  She named it after part of my address.

50. A Mon Ami Pierre Noel Blanc

Stitched on 32 count Millenium Blue Belfast linen.

Using DMC Blanc.  

I changed the greens so they would show up better against the blue fabric.

I started this in December 2013 and worked on it each evening for the short time the Small Boy was in the bath.  Some evenings I barely managed half a length of thread, others I stitched two lengths!
