Here with are with the second designer I've repeated so far in this epic journey. This first was also a finish, as is this one. Fortunately JBW Designs has many fun smalls, so there's a lot of choice for seasonal or just-for-fun stitching.
The chart shows the finish like this:
And my finish is similar, but a little different since I used some scrap threads. Some Jodyri, some Carrie's Creations, Dinky Dyes, maybe WDW as well. Lots of different threads and they all melded together to bring us this finish:
Tis the Season by JBW Designs
stitched 2 over 2 on 28ct? linen?
with scrap threads
I have a thought this fabric was called Alexandria from one of the online LNS' that has since closed, but I really do not recall. It's similar to linen with the slubs and not being quite even, but I didn't mind it as much as I do some linen fabrics, so I'm really not sure what it is. Technically the star should be a bead, but I didn't have a star bead, so I just stitched a star in with the same thread that is used on the gifts for the ribbon. It's a Dinky Dyes oops thread that is a yellow orange and makes a nice gold colour when looped together.
This took a couple days to finish, and was an easy stitch. The hardest part was finding scrap threads that had just enough for a gift so I could finally toss the old paper bobbin they were wrapped on. :)
I think this might be a good fold finish, and will be easier to store that way as well. Someday I'll get it out for that. For now it will go in the box of smalls finishes to work on when I have a chance.
I hope your days were pleasant!
Happy Stitching,
Tiffstitch
