Winter Stitches

Now it is December, and it is time to share winter stitches. I participated in the SAL "A la Belle Etoile", and I have seen on other blogs that many people stitched this sampler. This SAL was a collaboration between C Mon Monde and The Thread Basket. This design is beautiful, and to offer it as a free SAL is very generous in my opinion.

I stitched my sampler on 30 count linen, and I do not remember the color name. The threads are the recommended DMC colors. I finished this a few days ago, and I just love it!

Thank you for visiting my blog, and whether you spend the weekend relaxing or preparing for the holidays, enjoy every minute!

This is so pretty Nancy and stitched so beautifully. Is this for Gretchen?
Will have to watch out for this designer if she produces patterns as nice as this.
Thank you for sharing Nancy.

You are perfectly right when you say that it was very generous to offer this SAL for free. The Frenchies have wonderful SALs, don't they? It looks so beautiful.
