‘A Pretty Song’ - 2025 Holiday Countdown – Day 19 & 20

 I really didn’t have an intension of having any more new starts before Christmas, but after deciding to put the Sal from Historische Stickmuster to one side because I couldn’t decide on the fabric, I  pulled out ‘The Tree Lot’ from Hands on Design.

I’m not sure that stitching on Black is something I’m really enjoying, but to make it a little easier, I decided to stitch it on 16ct Aida, and I made some good progress on my first afternoon of stitching.

I do love how the colours pop though!

I've also completed days 19 and 20 of the 2025 Holiday Countdown, ‘A Pretty Song’.

Day 19’s art work is a Limestone statuette of a bird.  ca.600-480BCE  and the thread was very special.  ‘Parakeet’ is a beautiful blue with tiny specks of green.

And today we had ‘Lipstick’, a rich variegated red and a very sweet thread bobbin....that was a nice surprise!

The art work shows details from ‘The Falcon Hunt’, a tapestry from the Southern Netherlands, ca 1500-1530.


Happy Stitching!
