“Home for Christmas” is a cross stitch design by Paulette Stewart of Plum Street Samplers. The design is stitched on 36 count linen and the stitch count is 106 wide x 113 high. The kit contains the chart, 36 count linen, floss, and cotton fabric.
When I first saw this one pictured in one of my Facebook groups, I knew I wanted to stitch it. I believe I purchased it on the secondary market.
Since I normally stitch on aida, I switched out the fabric for a piece of 16ct aida I had in my stash. Unfortunately, I failed to note the color which is a mottled tan. I used the called for colors which were included but since I am stitching with two strands will use Victorian Motto floss or Gentle Arts Currant since I am running out of the called for Crimson.
My notes indicate I actually started stitching this on April 6, 2020 but I had only done the top border. I decided in January 2022 I had to do some more stitching on this one BEFORE I could start a new one.
Ran out of two colors of floss so I am putting this aside until my next floss order arrives.
Finished stitching this one last night (2/10/2022). I will probably frame it and add it to my Christmas wall in the craft room.
It’s now August 11, 2022 and I am finally getting around to finishing this one. Not quite sure if I am going to stain or paint the board but the finished project will join the Christmas wall in my craft room.
Your WIP is looking good, Pat!
