Advent Calendars – Day 24 & 25

 Day 24 is the final day of the Patchwork Rabbit Advent and the best was saved for last.

It was this sweet little pair of Black ‘Storklettes’ miniature scissors from Kelmscott Designs.

Day 24 of ‘The Holiday Countdown’ Sal, was the chart and the Leo & Roxy Floss Co, thread.   

This time it is  ‘Deep Dive’, another deep, deep Green.

There was also an extra day with this sal, so one last part of the chart and beautiful floss from Leo & Roxy Floss Co;-  Frosty Fern.

With that, that Friesian Band Sampler is complete and I’m thinking of making mine into a needle case.

13/12/25 - Updated to show finishing and as you can see, I changed my mind

There was also another surprise in the last packet…..a beautiful chart,  ‘Dream Of A Winter Garden’.

It’s sad that both of the Sal’s have come to an end,  but I have lots of new floss to stitch with over the coming year.

So I have to say a big that you to Karla of ‘The Patchwork Rabbit, Jacob from Modern Folk  Embroidery, Caroline from Evertote and Kerri from Leo & Roxy Floss Co (soon to be Roxy Floss Co), for putting together such fantastic collections  can’t wait for next year!!

Happy Stitching!

Advent Calendars – Days 7,8 & 9

I have three days of Advent goodies to share with you this morning and I’ve actually managed to catch up with the stitching on the countdown sal.

Starting as usual with ‘The Patchwork Rabbit’, day 7 made me extremely happy, because when I opened the envelope, it contained something that I’ve wanted to try for some time.

Day 7

Yah!!!     Cottage Garden Threads – Le Bouton - beautiful variegated shades of burgundy and pinks…….I love it!!!!

Day 8

The Gentle Art Sampler Threads – Gold Leaf

Day 9

The Patchwork Rabbit Corner Gauge

                                        

Holiday Countdown Sal;

Day 7

Thread - Leo & Roxy Thread Co. –  Poinsettia.   Very Christmassy!

Day 8

Leo & Roxy Thread Co. –  Third Place.  A beautiful Golden Brown colour.

Day 9

Thread - Leo & Roxy Thread Co. – Crème Fraiche

I’m also trying to do a better job on the back of my stitching by using a pin stitch instead of running my threads under the stitches and not carrying the threads over more than two stitches.

What I haven’t mentioned yet is that on the bottom of the chart section each day, there’s a little extra gem.

Up to now we have been treated to links to You Tube and Instagram, where we have listened to two Christmas songs, sung by Jacob (MFE), and also listened to him telling us all his favourite and most inspiring museums. We’ve heard about favourite holiday traditions, holiday songs and albums and I’m sure there’s lots more interesting things to come.
