I stitched some monograms for prezzies this year. These are from Crabapple Hill Studios, the Hopechest pattern.
For dad, I stitched the constellations of the southern sky. I got the idea from here and then found a map of the southern sky on the internet and traced it off the laptop screen. It fitted the embroidery hoop perfectly - which I left on as a mount.
I used white DMC thread and Japanese indigo fabric.
Forgot to take a photo of the final finish :(
Off to prep the #4 CCCQ block to take away on our NZ holiday.
Merry Christmas and I'll 'see' you next year!
Cheers
Carole
