Two Happy Dances


 

Started: 1/27/2022

Finished: 1/29/2022

Total Stitching Time: 5 hours and 16 minutes

After completing the designs for the 2021 Stitchmas Advent SAL, Creatively Crafting republished the daily designs without the numbers.  This was Day 23.  

He's stitched mostly as charted with the called for DMC on 14-count white Aida.  I did modify some of the backstitch, because I don't like starting/ending a backstitch in the center of a cross stitch.

He's been added to the box of ornaments going to the Ronald McDonald House later this year.

Finished: 1/29/2022

Total Stitching Time: 8 hours 15 minutes

This is one of the shepherds from Durene Jones Nativity project in Enjoy Cross Stitch - Christmas 2021.

It's stitched as charted with mostly the called for DMC on white perforated paper.  When pulling the floss to finish this, I couldn't find DMC 839 and 963 so I used the Anchor equivalents.

This is part of a set that will be given to a Director of Christian Education at our church to help tell the Christmas story.  I won't be finish finishing them until I have a chance to see how she'd like them finished.
