Starting in...........


Silver Bells is going to be a standup so she needs a background.  I have all the threads for that so I am going to do background for a few days.  I will watch for the mailman daily for some other threads too!

Second Band


I worked the second band with Fyre Werks and did a star type stitch over the top using Planet Earth Silk.

From the top


I started this design  with a rectangle filled with an  Alternating Cashmere Variation that has a silver upright cross.  This is the first little twinkly star series in the piece.

Maybe some of these

In the background is the white 18 count canvas flecked with silver which is cut 10 x 12.  Here are some of the possible threads for what I am going to call Midnight Stars.
