This Week's Stitching Finish

Only one finish this week.

Designer:  Chessie & Me
Design:  Noel House (kit)
Fabric:  36 ct Vintage Examplar linen
Floss:  Gloriana silk

Chessie & Me included satin & Smyrna stitches in this design.  I made these stitches like so ...

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It looks just as pretty my way   : )   The little deer is stitched over one.  All in all it was a fun design to stitch.    

Last night I started my next project ... LHN's Silent Night.
I stitched this ornament a couple years ago for a group exchange & have always wanted to stitch one for myself.  It's coming along quite nicely   : )

I hope everyone is having a nice, restful weekend!

Congratulations on your Christmas finish, Shirlee! I would have done the xxxxx for the satin stitches (not a fan of them) and depending on my mood I might or might not have done the Smyrna stitches. I really like your next project. Looking forward to seeing progress or your finish!

Enjoy your weekend!

My smyrnas have looked like that too! My eye was immediately drawn to the reindeer... knew it was over one... It is such a beautiful piece! You next one will be beautiful too! Hugs!
