Santa's Flight *Finished!!!!!*

[YoungStitcher]

The Mrs got pretty pissed off when I sent my Lily Project down to a friend so I've decided to stitch her something for Christmas. I saw this in a magazine and thought she'd like it.
She has no idea I'm stitching it and it's bloody hard to hide it! lol
I can only stitch when she is at work and weekends are a no go for stitching.
Sure to have it done for Christmas because I still have no clue when I'll be away again.

The threads are not an exact match. Some are and some I picked are pretty close. But hey, makes it more unique no?

This is a lovely project, I'm sure she's going to love it! Good luck with keeping it out of sight!

Won't tell a soul!!!



Adaptation is what makes all our stitching so unique!

[Sewin_mum]

Its Beautiful and youve got a good start on it already

[jocellogirl]

Great start!! Good luck in all the cloak and dagger stuff, I daren't try and sew anything for my girls as a surprise, as they'd be sure to find it! They had their eyes on this design too. I wonder.......

By the way, I saw your reply about Needlepaints on my Celtic Christmas thread. I've got Autumn too (plus Spring, Summer and Winter - what are we like?!) and have found that Sew and So stock the Needlepaints (Pricey though!!), but not all of them. I think one of the three sets has been discontinued. This link http://www.juliesxstitch.com/conversion ... paints.htm" target="_blank" target="_blank gives a conversion. If you're converting, you need to use either all DMC or all Needlepaints in a set, as they aren't interchangable. Feedback also suggests that DMC is as good as trying to track down and pay for Needlepaints. Hope that helps.
