Hello everyone!
It's been a tradition for the last few years for me to start a new project on Christmas Day. These have generally been biggish projects which haven't seen the light of day again for quite some time, so this Christmas I decided to do a much smaller project which would hopefully take only a few days to finish. And it did, becoming my 45th and final finish of 2020, thanks to a few nights of insane insomnia and lots of stitching!
This type of project is not normally my sort of thing, but I chose it because I desperately wanted something Christmassy to go on the starry fabric!
Gold Stars Christmas Tree by NandiStitch (etsy)
Stitched on 16ct Fairy Dust Gold and Silver by sewitall.com
Stitch Count 78 wide by 102 high
Started - 25th December 2020
Finished - 28th December 2020
Total stitching time - 12 hours 50 minutes
Other than swapping out the colours, using amber instead of pink beads, changing the location of most of the beads, and stitching the base of the tree using blended threads rather than just the lighter colour, it's as charted! I was planning to add Etoile but forgot and am actually glad I did; together with the beads and patterned fabric it might have been a bit OTT.
I'm pleased to say it's already been FFOd so will make another appearance the FFG SAL very soon.
Take care,
Rachel x
