A Quaker Christmas Medallion by Guilia Manfredini of Giulia Punti Antichi was published in the August 2015 issue of Just CrossStitch magazine. I had seen the finished ornament posted in another group so went in search of the magazine. Luckily another stitcher saw my post and sent me the magazine.
The recommended fabric was 32ct natural/white dots Belfast petit point linen but I am not a fan of linen or dotted fabric. I chose to stitch it on 28ct Monaco as the lettering and the date is stitched over 1. The recommended floss is Thread Gatherer Silk ‘N Colors so I am using a combination of DMC and Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe Floss.
- TG 317 Dung Paper/DMC 3011

Now to decide how to finish this one. I also want to stitch another one in brighter colors.

This is such a pretty piece, Pat! Well done! I like your color choices!
