My Thoughts
My second ever design to put out into the world for other stitchers to enjoy! This may become a series as I have so many fun ideas BUT I am so thrilled with this first design and it’s yummy fall colours. I stitched my model in DMC floss but have also included a Roxy Floss Co conversion with the pattern and I may just have to stitch it again!
I wanted to give this finish style a try, using the technique of layering foam core board in the middle for extra thickness. It makes the ornament a little more substantial and I think cute as hanging decor or propped up on a shelf or tucked into a tiered tray!
