Cross Stitch Camp 2022

So, this year’s ‘Virtual’ Cross Stitch Camp, hosted by Sheri, the Colorado Cross Stitcher has kicked off at last, with three months of stitchey challenges and some fun prizes.

 June – Stitch something celebrating of holiday (Christmas, Easter, and Halloween etc.)

July – Stitch something that will eventually be FFO’d any way, other than in a frame.

July – Stitch something new to you, as in a designer you’ve not stitched before, a fabric you’ve never used, threads you’ve never tried, and the list goes on.

I decided to do Christmas and because I always like to stitch something for my Goddaughters two girls for Christmas, I thought this was a good opportunity to get the second ornament done, and work on another Mill Hill kit.

 This is Jim Shore’s ‘Evergreen Snowman’.

I stitched the first ornament at the end of last month and it was ‘Snowy Owl Snowman’, also by Jim Shore.  He was my first every Mill Hill Kit.

 Both have been finished with a beaded hanger and backed with sticky backed velvet.  All I need to do now is add the year to the backs of them and my first two Christmas presents will be taken care of!

Roll on our July challenge!

Happy Stitching!
