ON THE TWELFTH DAY
Sampler and Ornaments

Models Stitched by Christy Harris

On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love sent to me ... Well, you probably know the rest of this old Christmas song, but here's a new take on the theme. Twelve little squares which can be made up into either a larger framed piece, or as individual tree ornaments. Pictured here in French inpired blue on platinum, and a slightly more traditional red on khaki geen, the design can be stitched in colours to match your Christmas decor. Using cross stitches and straight stitch, this design will complement both traditional and more modern interiors. The pamphlet includes comprehensive finishing instructions for making the tree ornaments.

Stitches Used: Cross stitch over two threads, cross stitch over one thread and backstitch.
