I finished another piece a couple of days ago. This is the 2007 limited edition Christmas kit from Lizzie Kate. It was a really fun and fairly quick stitch. I think I’m going to finish it into either a pillow or I may take a shot at making it into a flat fold. I’ve never done the flat fold finishing technique, so it would be something new for me.
Designer: Lizzie Kate
Fabric: Light mocha cashel linen
Fibers: Crescent Colors cotton floss & DMC cotton floss
Extras: Kreinik 032 blending filament for snow (not called for in the kit)
I’ve also joined a SAL on one of my Yahoo groups. We’re all working on Gingerbread Cottage by Country Cottage Needleworks. It’s a really cute piece and I’m hoping to get it done in time to finish it as a pillow for Christmas. Here’s my first progress photo taken yesterday at the end of my first day of stitching on it:
Designer: Country Cottage Needleworks
Fabric: Unknown hand-dyed linen from a grab bag of fabric
Fibers: Crescent Colors cotton floss and DMC cotton floss
That’s it for now. I’m off to do some more stitching.
Happy stitching! 

















Awww, the Lizzie Kate piece is really cute!! Great start on Gingerbread Cottage, too.
congrats on the finish! it really is a fun stitch isn’t it
I like the idea of a flat fold!
Your Ho Ho Ho came out great and I think a flat fold finish would be wonderful for it. It’s not that hard. The little Gingerbread Cottage is one of my very favorites from the Christmas designs just out. Happy Stitching
Ho Ho Ho is so cute! I have this one in my stash!
Your start on Gingerbread Cottage is so cute too – I love the fabric you chose!
