I'm back this week to show my Christmas ornament for October, First Snow by The Drawn Thread. The free chart is copyrighted for 2003 - I have had it printed for a large amount of that time - 2003! Can you believe that! It is charted for either Weeks Dye Works or DMC threads. I chose to stitch with the DMC. Just Smyrna Cross and Pine Stitch for speciality stitches so very easy.
First Snow - The Drawn Thread (freebie chart here).
40ct Pearl Grey Newcastle linen.
Used recommended DMC alternatives.
Cording in DMC Blanc.

The ornament is beautiful!! I love how delicate it looks!
ReplyDeleteI stitched this a few years ago as part of a swap, I did it on pale blue linen and it was just lovely. x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful ornament you have stitched and finished, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteThat is stunning!
ReplyDeleteQue bonito!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! I have it printed out, also, but haven't tried stitching it because of the specialty stitches! I guess I just need to jump in and give it a try! The colors are beautiful, and your finishing, as always, is perfect!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful , what a lovely Christmas stitch.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, this one is beautiful. The 40 count pearl is just perfect for the colors in this one. I love the finish. I am putting this one on my to do list down the road.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous new ornament, Andrea. I've had the chart printed out for years--not sure why I haven't stitched it myself.. . I just love the little birds chirping away :)
ReplyDeleteOh Andrea this ornament is finished so well and came out so pretty. RJ
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Andrea - you know I love designs which feature birds.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty ornament! One I've thought about stitching for a long time as well!
