JBW Advent Calendar - Days 24 and 25 (and complete calendar) finished!

Hi all!

This year I was hoping to stitch all of the 24 designs which make up JBW Designs' Advent Calendar.



And I have! I've now finished the final date, number 24, Santa, not that it's particularly clear being white on white...

Started - 14th August 2020
Finished - 2nd November 2020
Total stitching time - 2 hours 15 minutes

... along with an additional simple one for Christmas Day, because there were 25 buttons in the pack and I couldn't leave the last one out!

Started - 14th August 2020
Finished - 3rd November 2020
Total stitching time - 2 hours 35 minutes


Each one is supposed to have a special charm, but since they were very specific, and therefore expensive, I bought a variety of teeny ones and added one of them to each day instead. I also added beads to some of them (when I remembered!) for an additional bit of bling.

Here they all are together:















With hindsight, I wish I'd paid more attention to the thread colours and actually looked at them before I started stitching. I would have definitely cut out some of the colours and worked with a much smaller palette, but it's all done and too late now; in fact it was too late after I'd stitched the first half dozen or so!

Once these final two have been FFOd they'll all be ready for hanging on 1st December - yay!

Take care,
Rachel x

    These are so cute! I love the little tree and the wreath swag but they are all cute.
