Easter Wishes

Set of six holiday ornaments with finishing instructions.

Stitch Count (per ornament) - 56 x 53

Models are stitched on 32-count Country French linen by Wichelt- Cafe Mocha (85-252) over both one and two linen threads.

Model is stitched with The Gentle Art Sampler Threads (DMC equivalents provided).

Briar Rose (3802) - 1 skein

Floss estimation is for stitching all six ornaments with model specifics. DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact matches for hand-dyed floss.

Finishing supplies for all four ornaments (as shown):

DMC six-strand embroidery floss for twisted cord- 3 skeins each - 368, 3042
1 fat quarter matching cotton print fabric (for backing)
Kreinik Custom Corder™ (mini drill)
Polyester stuffing
Basic sewing supplies

Piece contains cross stitch over-two linen threads and cross stitch over-one linen thread (diagrams provided) and backstitch.

I encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and style.

One design would make an adorable small framed sampler or needlebook! These pieces were designed with gift-giving in mind. You could also stitch these in a vertical row on banding for a bell-pull.
