CHART PACK: 8 color pages
Tree & Snowflake hoops
CROSS STITCH PATTERN DESIGNED BY Faby Reilly Designs
These ornate Christmas motifs are stitched on a cross stitch base, then beautifully embellished with metallic threads, beads and sequins, giving the piece a dimensional effect and light-reflecting qualities. The Christmas tree is adorned with sequins as well as tiny bows made of ribbon.
The pair can be stitched to be displayed side by side, or alternatively, you can mount them on each side of a single hoop. Another idea would be to stitch the back omitting the center motif so you can stitch a text of your choice (Merry Christmas + date, a welcome message etc.)
The piece pictured on the photograph was stitched on 32 Zweigart linen and will fit into a 5 inch hoop. You could also mount these ornaments in the manner of a round pinkeep.
There is another matching pair of ornaments with a Christmas bauble and a Heart (sold separately, see below), so you can stitch four ornaments in total.
A tutorial is included with the chart for all specialty stitches, for making the ribbon bows, as well as for mounting the stitched piece in the hoop and finishing it as a frame.
