Stitch Maynia 2021 Start #24

 Back to our regularly scheduled seasonal charts, this is a fun one from Jardin Privé. 

I'm not a huge fan of redwork, so I changed up the fabric and threads. This is my start:
Joyeux Noel by Jardin Privé
stitched 1 over 2 on 28ct Slytherin evenweave by Chromatic Alchemy
with Caron Waterlilies Hint of Mint


I had some colourful thread picked out, but I asked DH's opinion since he has a better colour sense than I do, and he said to stick with the whitish thread only. I think I have enough to finish since I have a whole skein and it's 1 over 2 stitching. I quite like the fabric colour too with it's muted grey/blue tones within the green. 

This one will definitely take a while, but it is only one colour, so it should still be quicker than something with many colour changes. 

I hope you're all staying healthy and enjoying some sunshine. It's cooled off a bit today, a high of 18-20C/65-68F, but there's still some nice sun, so it's a good day to be outside and maybe get some gardening done. 

Happy Stitching!

  1. It's a lovely design, and I can see why you like it:D It'll look good in that colour combo too.

  2. Lovely design. I am surprised you're not a fan of redwork though. I love the way it looks on white or black fabric!

    1. Maybe on black that would have been okay, I don't know why, but it doesn't appeal to me on white.
