I knew when I first saw Snowman 2024 by Primrose Cottage that I wanted to stitch it. The stitch count was only 77×68 so not a huge project.
The recommended fabric was 32ct taupe but I picked a piece of 16ct aida Sand Dune by Seraphim from my stash. I did not have the called for floss (Color and Cotton) so I made some substitutes.
- Cherry Cobbler/ DMC 3777
- Marsh/DMC 3790
- Peace on Earth/DMC 3052
- Rustic Black/Victorian Motto Winter Coal
- Tree Lot/DMC 935
- Tusk/DMC 3865
- DMC 3776
Once I finished stitching, I mounted the piece on a 5″ chipboard circle with batting attached. I then laced the piece. The small red heart came with the chart. Now to decide how to fully finish this one.
I decided to mount it on one of the boards I had in my stash. I added some rickrack and a fabric covered board. I painted the snowflake white and hot glued it to the board handle. All in all, I am very happy with it.
Oh Pat, this is such a darling snowman finish. I like your thread and fabric choices. Well done on getting it stitched and laced.
