I'm continuing to feature my 12 days of Christmas stitching in the Smalls SAL. This is hosted by Mary of Mary's Thread. If I complete anything else that meets the criteria during each month that will be a bonus.
First up is Jardin Privé's design. I'm stitching this as one piece and I've started to add the border. Rather late in the day I've realised that I haven't left as large a border space on the left hand side of my fabric as I should have had. The border will fit in but I will only just have enough additional fabric for finishing.

Lovely work on both pieces. I thought that was Lilac Linen but I guess it's just the light.
ReplyDeleteLovely cross stitch
ReplyDeleteThese both look so nice, Mary. I'm sure your border will work out just fine. That's happened to me a couple of times and both have been close, but I made it work. Enjoy your week ♥
ReplyDeleteLovely stitches! There is a lot of 12 Days stitching going on this year!
ReplyDeleteYour 12 days is looking lovely, fingers crossed your fabric works out ok.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the SAL! You are making good progress on your 12 Days! It is a delightful design!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely designs Mary. I´m sure the border will work out fine, I´ve come pretty close to running off the edge once in a while too.
