Description
I started doing the "Holiday Card" designs last year, & this year I've featured an alpaca & a border of traditional Christmas lights. The alpaca is keeping warm & cozy in a holiday sweater, striped scarf & mukluks! The design includes two versions - a larger one with the tree (stitched with all DMC) & a smaller one with just the alpaca (I've used wool & metallic specialty threads for this model). The models are stitched on 40 count "Lambswool" linen from xJudesigns. (If you are looking for a substitute that doesn't require international shipping, R&R "Alabaster" is a very close match.) Stitch count is 154 wide & 124 high. (The smaller version is 94 wide & 124 high.) The models are trimmed with "Anemone" chenille & the larger one is accented with a twill bow in "Grape Jelly". Both are backed with "Grape Jelly" osnaburg. (Chenille, twill & osnaburg are all from Lady Dot Creates.) Threads used: DMC - 356, 422, 501, 833, 838, 840, 927, 0022, 3051, 3364, 3861 Bella Lusso wool - 093, 095 (used on the smaller model only) DMC Diamant - 3821, 225, 321 (used on the smaller model only) Holiday Card 2021 - Cross Stitch Chart By The Blue Flower
