It's Christmas time!
Well, not really. But I guess you might think so, as the stores here already have all the Christmas decorations up. But I digress....after doing all those Jessicas...I decided to take a little break with something a little "simpler"....not necessarily smaller...just less complex.
My start on Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow, stitched with one strand of silk on 36 count Examplar Lakeside Linen.
Christmas at Hawk Run Hollow
Not quite as bright as shown on the cover photo of the design, which does make me happy. I still need to buy a few of the NPI's for this one. Not surprisingly, I did have quite a few of the necessary colors. Plus, I decided to try something a little different. A few specialty stitches, here and there. The border is stitched in a tied-down cross stitch and there is one satin stitch center for a flower.
Thank you to everyone who has stopped by and left such great comments. I truly appreciate each and every one!
