The Twelve Days of Christmas by
Tonight I'm putting in the first stitches on this beautiful new project. I've kitted it up on 36 count Desert Taipan, with the called-for DMC threads. I am completely smitten, and everything else has taken a back seat ๐
This sampler is full of traditional motifs depicting the familiar characters from the song, with clever puzzles and jokes throughout. It's a festive 'search and find' and I can imagine family and friends leaning in, trying to be the first to spot them all.
This will not be a quick stitch - at 524 x 351 stitches it's quite a commitment - but I will work away at it one motif at a time. There's no rush, I'll just enjoy watching it slowly come to life.
If you're looking for a project to savour and enjoy, I'd love for you to join me in stitching this one ๐ฅฐ
