Evergreen by Blackbird Designs was released in 2005. Like many of their early charts, it is now OOP. I have had it on my To Do list for some time and after seeing a recent finish posted in the Fans of Blackbird Designs Facebook group, I decided it was time to move it up on the list.
I selected a beautiful piece of 18 Count White Opalescent Aida which had been gifted to me and sparkles so would be perfect for this piece. And rather than the called for threads, I decided to use Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe threads in brighter Christmas colors.
- Victorian Pine Boughs
- Antique Gold
- Cranberry Red
Nancy Turner who is Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe offers beautiful hand dyed floss and her various Christmas Collections of threads are some of my favorites.

The photo in no way does the fabric justice as it is a sparkly white not dull gray as this photo shows.
And here it is beautifully finished by Vonna.
Your start on Evergreen is lovely, Pat. I really like the VMSS threads you are using for it. Hope this finds you well!
