Christmas QAL August Part 1

The Christmas QAL over at Needle Thread Happiness is on again this weekend.


I have been sewing a Snowflake stitchery over the last few days. I've finished the centre panel this morning. I love the way it has turned out.


I'm going to try and get it finished this weekend . I don't really need another UFO as I think the cupboard is going to give way with the ones I already have! (Don't we all!)








Whilst I decide what fabric to use for the border. I have started to cut out the reindeer for an applique. This is all you are going to see as I'm going to use it for one of my swaps.


Have a great weekend

  4. Your snowflake is gorgeous - and how can you just tempt us with only a little glimpse of your reindeer appliqué?!
    Will we have to wait until Christmas to see it?
    Happy weekend :-)

    1. Hi Lesley. Thanks for the lovely comment. I used 2 strands of dmc . I always run the thread through beeswax thread conditioner. It seems to give it a neater finish.
