Let it snow.....

 

 

Christmas stitching continues and

I needed something "cool" to

deal with the hot temps here in

the sunny South this week. 

 

A fellow blogger...can't remember who...

posted a link to a freebie for these

snowflakes and they were exactly

what I was looking for.

 

Freebie--Estonian Snowflakes

stitched on 32ct natural linen

w/ Victorian Motto

 

I had some of the MCG Linen in my stash

and thought this would be a great way

to use it.   It is very rough and not a

pleasant fabric to stitch on but I a

m happy with the finishes.

 

 

I toyed with the idea of stitching them twice

so that I could finish both sides into

an ornament with a beaded edge.

Of course my "laziness" reared its ugly

head and I settled with a motif from

each for a simple back finish.

 

 

The imperfections of this fabric made

the beading more difficult and the

edges look "sloppy".  That's okay...

they will still be great new

additions to my Christmas tree.

Christmas stitching continues and I

hope to be back soon with three more

Yuletide finishes Plum Street. 

Hope you are staying cool and

enjoying the last of summer. 

Happy stitching....
