A Northern Christmas Expression by Nicole Dostal

I used one element of the project from issue 69 (Nov. 2011) for a Christmas card.

Stitched on 14 ct cream perforated paper with two strands of cotton floss. The red is a hand-dyed thread by Oliver Twist (bought somewhere in the UK), the green is some solid DMC I dug out of my box of embroidery thread. I finished the stitching with a single gold-coloured seed bead size 8/o [a very average seed bead] , sewn on with an x stitch with yellow sewing thread.
To make the card, I used a card blank (purchased for this particular purpose) and double-sided tape. Then I wrote the greeting on the inside of the card and that's it.

Stitched by Mari Voipio, Finland.

Entry from Rosella

Think Pink, Kirsten

This is my version of Kirsten's design, 'Think Pink' I decided to finish mine as an Ort bag, well every stitcher needs one, at least there is less mess. ;-)
I got inspired with the finishing instructions from 'Creative Poppy' Thank you.

The Gift of Stitching is moving foward... us2.campaign-archive2.com Moving forward ... I hope you are well and found some stitching time lately. It has become very cold here and I enjoy snuggling into the couch in the evenings with my stitching; it keeps me warm.
