Not sure where it came from but i had this cross stitch project for several years. I dragged it out maybe 2 years ago & stitched the 2 rows under merry & hrist. Dragged it out again after i finished the sashiko & ta da i finished it last night. Now i need to get a frame for it.
As you can see it's tiny & stitched on linen. I had to stitch over just 2 threads. More fun & games. LOLNext up was a sashiko project i bought off a seller on FB. After looking at the tiny little picture that came with it i thought i knew why it was sold off. No instructions. I couldn't figure how it was stitched with so many lines going every where. So it sat & sat. It wasn't until i bought the Celtic Christmas tree & learned a few things that i figured out how to stitch this project into the star shapes. You see i didn't know the stitch lines were soluble in water as the instructions were missing or so i thought. Today pulling out the red fabric that is for the border lo & behold out fall the instructions. Why they were hidden in there I've no idea.
It needs a press as i just soaked it this morning & was so excited about it i just had to take a photo. :) :) So glad this is another project/kit crossed off my list.Happy Stitching,
