I have a finished stitching to share.
Do you remember when I posted about combining some motifs from my Here Comes Santa Claus pattern set?
I put these motifs together and finished up the stitching. I am so happy with the result!
The red lettering and the white snowflakes are the perfect combination for Christmas. I added some sparkly rainbow blending filament to the snowflakes.
I used a Whipped Blanket Stitch for the left arm of each H. The Blanket Stitch in red and the whipping in white. It reminds me of a candy cane. I also added some of the rainbow blending filament to the right arm of each H:
I also completed a beautiful border. This is all done in metallic floss!
Well, except for the red berries. They are Satin Stitched in regular cotton floss. I added a few Straight Stitches using gold blending filament to add some sparkle.
The holly leaves are outlined with Stem Stitching and filled with Straight Stitches.
The light and dark green lines with the gold French Knots are couched. What an easy way to deal with metallic floss!

Hi Janice Thank you! :)
That's the first thing I thought, "It looks like a candy cane!". I think it looks great. The border is gorgeous. I like how it all came together and I bet it sparkles so pretty in person.
Thanks Darlene - It is super sparkly :)
