JBW Advent Calendar - Days 1, 9 and 21

Hello all!

Throughout the year I am planning to stitch JBW Designs' Advent Calendar. Each day will be stitched separately and in no particular order; I'll just pick whichever day appeals to me at the time.



I will be making a lot of changes along the way, though:
* none of the numbers will be stitched because, as you can see, I have a cunning plan
* a lot of the colours will be changed to make the motifs more uniform
* quite a few beads will be added for that little extra something
* the (expensive) recommended charms will be replaced with small ones from my stash

This month I stitched three pieces, all on 16ct silver lurex aida:

Day 1 - Wreath:

Started  - 4th January 2020
Finished - 14th January 2020
Total Stitching time - 2 hours 10 minutes

Day 9 - Stocking:

Started  - 5th January 2020
Finished - 14th January 2020
Total Stitching time - 1 hour 40 minutes

Day 21 - Baubles:

Started  - 11th January 2020
Finished - 14th January 2020
Total Stitching time - 1 hour 45 minutes


Because they stitch up so quickly they are great for a very satisfying one night start and finish, something which I don't ever think I've done before.

All three have been FFOd but I'll save those pictures for February's FFG SAL.

Only 21 more to go!

Take care,
Rachel x

    Oh, these are really cute! And your wooden numbers are adorable, much better than the stitched ones. I'm looking forward to seeing how you finished them, and which ones you'll stitch up next :)

    I love the additions of the beads. Not having the numbers on the same side as the picture makes it far less crowded. I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes together x

    This is going to be amazing, I love how you are making it your own! Now you've got me thinking of an advent calendar, I don't have one that I've made... yet.
