02. Creative Workshops by Hetti Temperature SAL

 


Temperature SAL from Creative Workshops from Hetti

Stitched on 22 count hardanger

Each temperature was allocated a DMC colour with purple being below zero Celsius, blue and greens for the cooler days of Winter moving into yellows and oranges for Summer with the red being a mini heatwave we had, then back through yellow and green for the close of the year. You "read" the design from the centre spiralling outwards.

The little white beads represent days when we had snow.

01. Rosewood Manor Festive Quaker Tree


Rosewood Manor - Festive Quaker Tree
from Just Cross Stitch Christmas Ornament Special 2009
stitched over one on 32 count Blue Hydrangea opalescent from Crafty Kitten

This looks completely different to the model in the magazine.  I decided to use shades of blue in the 790s-800s plus B5200.  The white does show up much better in real life.
