Well, the stitching is finished anyway :)
I really like the pastel colors on this one
Can you see the sparkle in the gingerbread frosting?
I used my new favorite blending filament to add some sparkle. I love this!!!
I didn't use too many advanced stitches, mainly back stitch and french knots. For the candy tree trunk I used the open chain stitch. I had to go back and review my own 100 Stitches post to remember how to do it!
I am really happy with the way this turned out!
Now I just have two more gingerbread houses left to transfer and stitch:
Here is a list of the beautiful floss colors I used for this project:
I really love how it turned out too!! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You did a beautiful job with the coloring and stitching. I have the pattern from you but haven't stitched it yet. Now I can look at yours to have a better idea. I'm a follower of your lovely blog. Yes. After all this time I still read your blog, I love it. I started a blog on my stitching early this year. You have a wonderful day.
