Thank you all for following my dubious ramblings and cheering me on this year! I'm so glad to have a place to share my need for some sort of creativity and you've all been so encouraging!
So by way of thanks here's a freebie cross stitch for Christmas and I sincerely hope you enjoy stitching it up!
This is how I made mine up on 28ct natural pearl linen~


I love how the red ticking makes it all the more festive!
So here's the pattern - I used DMC red 498 floss and white (blanc), 2 strands over 2.

I still need to put finishing touches to my Christmas decorating - I need more lights as some broke and I have to gather some more greenery for displays... so lots to enjoy!
Thanks again!
SEASON'S BLESSINGS!
This is so cute, thanks! I haven't learned to cross stitch, but I am going to try it this winter. Have a Merry Christmas!
