I was recently introduced to a new designer, All Through the Night, and ordered three of her charts. Merry Christmas was one of them. I had recently been given a yard of 18 Count White Opalescent Aida and decided to use a piece of it to stitch this on. I liked the idea of adding some sparkle to this piece. I also had one skein of Gloriana Poinsettia silk that I had received as a gift so chose to use it rather than the called for Valdani Old Brick. I hoped one skein would be enough. The silk thread is lovely to stitch with.
Stitch Count: 77h x 76w
Design Size: 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 on 18ct
Unfortunately, my picture does not due the fabric justice. It’s sparkly white and looks like snow scattered through the fabric.
And here it is finished as a lovely Christmas ornament by Vonna Pfeiffer, The Twisted Stitcher.
I plan on stitching another one of these soon.
December 17, 2021 – Finished stitching a 2nd one on the same fabric using Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe floss Victorian Christmas and Kris Kringle Green.
