Last year I stitched about two dozen monochrome Madaonna-and-Child cards for christmas. Mum had one, of course, but gave it away to a friend at church who was going back to Africa, so she said could I do her a replacement. She chose Caron Watercolours Rose Quartz on black Congress cloth, and here it is:
I'd forgotten how quick they are to do in the satin stitch version!

I do remember these!!! I was just looking at the satin stitch and wondering why I didn't do mine the same way
It must have been done in a jiffy that way! It looks gorgeous
