Hi everyone, I thought I would show a picture of something not connected to Christmas in this post. I have stitched 1 over 1 on 25 Cream Dublin Lugana linen using DMC thread number 115, it is a Mon ami Pierre free pattern, unfortunately it is no longer available.
I am unsure what to make with it yet, maybe a tin topper or a mini pin keep?
I am currently working on some more Ornaments, I have just started on my first Prairie Schooler Christmas Ornament and I was looking at one of my Paula Vaughan work in progress, the Porch Swing, it looks really nice, I shall post a picture later.
I have shown here the stitching lamp I use when stitching on linen because quite a few people have commented that they find the holes too small, I could not stitch on linen if I did not use this magnifying lamp, what a difference it makes. You can clip it on your stitching hoop, however I do not always use a hoop so I clip mine to a folder placed on my knee.
Happy Stitching!

Your 1 over 1 is beautiful. I love the look of 1 over 1. It is so delicate.
Have a great weekend! :)
It's beautiful! Can't wait to see how you finish it:)
Love your miniature and your magnifier set up.
Love the little stitching lady. She's a cutie - and in my favourite red!
Lynn..I also use mag. glass when I stitch on linen. They are so handy!! Enjoy ur stitching!
Your miniature lamp looks very convenient. I love your big projects and this over one piece is so lovely too!
