Some of you probably wondered why I have not posted a new shop model for some time. Well here is the answer. I started this wonderful design on January 2nd, and finished stitching around the end of February. There was so much detail, as you can see, that I really enjoyed the challenge. I have stitched other Christmas scenes from Praiseworthy Stitches, and I think this one is my favorite so far. I used all the recommended floss and fabric.
When I stitched using WDW snowflake, I did 1/2 x's and then crossed them rather than doing each x separately. It gave the white a softer appearance and since snowflake has touches of pink and blue, which will show if you do each x individually. I wanted to give the snow a softer appearance, not a mismarked snow. I have used this method on another of the Praiseworthy designs, and loved the look it attained. Hope you all like this offering - it was fun. I did frame in a custom cherry with an antique gold lip
