01. Stitchonomy Christmas Banner

 


Stitchonomy Christmas Banner
Stitched over 1 on 32 count grey linen

The original design is much longer but I did not like the effect on this fabric.
Some people in the group were using black fabric and it looks amazing 
so I decided to stop at Band 5 and make a mini sampler.
I do intend to stitch the full design on black fabric in the future.
