"Simply Christmas"

Since the arrival of this book I have been "itching" to start working on some
of the projects within.  The first one finished is my
"Elf Surprise Table mat"

Finishes at 22" square.
The stitcheries are so cute.



Next up is "One Red Robbin Wall hanging"
I started this one Friday Night as my FNWF project and finished it off yesterday.


I love how the Cottage Garden threads have worked on this.



The Robin (and other red) was stitched in Cottage Gardens Thread "Kangaroo Paw" (No. 1002)


This book contains 8 gorgeous projects and there are my first 2 :o)


and the third is traced and ready to go.


Have a great day,
hugs, Sharon

    I think your new light is giving you an unfair advantage! I love the stitching you have done. The robin looks so good on the linen....which CG thread did you use?

    Hi Sharon, both are really cute. Well done! You are getting organised for Christmas. Where did you get the book and who is the designer? I would love to get hold of a copy.

    Ok now I'm off to throw a little tantrum in the corner because my book has not arrived, lol. They both look great Sharon, you must be very happy with how they finished. Lucky Christmas is only round the corner.
