This is Merry Christmas! by With Thy Needle and Thread / Brenda Gervais.
Isn't it cute? Can you see Rudolf's red nose? I started stitching it on the called for 28ct Mushroom Lugana but I didn't like it …. don't ask me why as I have stitched other designs 1 over 1 on 28ct. So I switched to 40ct platinum Newcastle linen. It's not that much bigger and is still suitable to be made in to a pillow finish.

Until next time ……..
So cute. Sometimes it is better to change put the linen. Happy August.
ReplyDeleteLovely finish! My favorite part is the reindeer! I just love them.
ReplyDeleteYou've finished another lovely design!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful Andrea , cute design .
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, Andrea. Like you I would rather stitch on 40 ct than over one on 28. I think it's that the linen surrounding the stitched piece looks different. I can't wait to see it finished into a pillow. Your finishes are always stunning :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful finish.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet, I love the clean simplicity of this design. x
ReplyDeleteNice!

Thats is lovely Dawn , I also noticed Santas heels lol.
ReplyDeleteI love your stitching. I have never stitched on 40 count. Is it more difficult?
ReplyDeleteI love this! And your fabric choice too. ;)
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I love Brenda Gervais designs and this is one I have to add to my list. I love the colors and that platinum Newcastle linen is such a pretty color. Your stitching is perfect!! Looking forward to seeing your finish!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the cute finish Andrea.

Oh, that is so darling, Andrea! I love it on your platinum linen, too. I have used 28 ct. mushroom lugana for a couple of tiny things lately and wasn't that fond of it either. Can't say why, though!
ReplyDeleteQue bonito!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it as I always love your stitching and your choice of patterns. This is an adorable pattern and the colors are so vivid and great too. What is the red you used...it's such a clear and perfect red. I just bought a big piece of the mushroom 28 ct. lugana for a big project and now I'm worried. I too am a big fan of 40 ct. stitching and think platinum is such a lovely color. Great choices. RJ@stitchingfriendsforever
