This
is Deer in the Forest from the 2020 Just Cross Stitch Christmas
Ornament Issue. It was designed by Elizabeth Spurlock of Saving Graces Fine Needlearts.
It's
stitched as charted on 14-count
Antique White Lugana. It called for DMC Light Effects and red beads. I started using the Light Effects (green border), but got very frustrated and ended up frogging most of the inner border and starting over with the corresponding color of regular DMC. I was planning to use the beads, but when it came time to add them, I couldn't find them so I didn't use them after all.
I will be making this one into either a pillow or flat fold ornament and will give it to the Ronald McDonald House.
