Christmas Is Forever
Christmas if Forever is the 2008 Special Edition from Lizzie Kate. I’m not a big fan of kits. The main reason being is that normally the fabric piece is not large enough for my taste AND I already have all of the DMC colors. The charts by Lizzie Kate are some of my favorites to stitch and this particular one was available only as a kit. This kit came complete with the chart, 28ct Cashel linen fabric, 5 skeins of Crescent Colours floss, and the 2 DMC colors. I ordered extra of the Crescent Colours floss and two pieces of Laguana fabric in the same color as the linen. I prefer Laguana to linen for stitching. The piece is stitched in traditional Christmas colors with a few punches of pink and chartreuse for extra holiday spirit! The finished size of the stitched piece is 4 1/2″ x 7″. Now, who to give it to for Christmas.
UPDATE: The bellpull hardware finally arrived so this is finished and ready to give to my friend Beryl.
Why do you prefer Laguana over linen for your cross stitch projects?
I prefer the more even weight/thickness of both the thread and fabric to linen. It just seems easier for me to work on.
