I used two strands of floss to stitch this and was really pleased with my stitching. I used stem stitch for all the lettering and getting those corners smooth meant a lot of very small stitches. Weirdly, I enjoy stuff like this.
I would also like to show you this lovely Christmas make I received from my Instagram buddy - dlynnb - in a little exchange we did just between the two of us.
The cross stitch is beautiful and I love the way she put a little seed bead where each of us lives. Thank you so much, Dinah.
If anyone ever asks you what benefits social media brings to your life you can tell them from me that it allows you to meet people that you would probably never meet otherwise, forge friendships, get inspiration, support and laughter - all this from the often maligned social media. I for one like it!

I agree about social media! I feel like I know so many of the bloggers, like you, that I communicate with. I don't have time to blog, unfortunately, but I share what I do a lot on Facebook. I haven't joined twitter or Instagram yet.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I've been behind in my commenting sorry. Love the embroidery -- I'm going to try my hand at some this year, any tips?
