Here are my last two finishes of the year, on finished on December 30 and the other on December 31.
First up was Stained Glass Pansy, by Solaria Gallery:
I really only did the bottom half of the stitching, as it was sent to me partially done by Adrienne, from TryllaCraft. Thanks Adrienne, I really enjoyed stitching it!
Next up is the Mystery Autumn SAL from By the Bay Needleart:
I had a lot of fun with this one, and made a lot of changes which are recorded below.
Color Changes:
Boat sail: DMC B5200 instead of Ecru
House and lighthouse roof, door and windows: DMC 844 instead of 3371.
Fences and clouds: DMC 3024 instead of Ecru
Ocean: blend of DMC 502 and Anchor 1064 instead of DMC 502
Leaves: Oliver Twist hand-dyed cotton number 012, 3 over 2
Pumpkins: blend of two Anchor oranges, color numbers unknown.
Stitches:
Bushes - Rhodes stitches
Sheep - French knots
Pumpkins - cross-stitches below straight stitch
Doors and windows - 2 over 1 cross-stitches
Fence - long stitch, done with 2 threads
Boat - added in extra backstitching for better definition of the sail against the fabric
