A finished Christmas ornament:)

Hello PS fans!

I have now finished my first Prairie Schooler design! I am very happy with the finished stitching:)


The design is from The night before Christmas. I made some changes to the original chart. I decided to stitch the Swedish equivalent phrase of 'Merry Christmas' at the top corner and I used DMC Satin threads for the snowflakes.

 
Since this was my August ornament for Christmas ornie SAL 2015 , I had to turn the stitching into an Christmas ornament.

I REALLY enjoyed stitching this PS design, and I just wish I had more of their Xmas designs in my stash!!! One of the other designs from this series is a snowman so at least I'm going to use that chart for the November ornament for the Christmas Ornie SAL:))

Enjoy your PS stitching!

So happy to be here!

Hello fellow PS fans!

Can you imagine that two months ago I did not know ANYTHING about The Prairie Schooler designs?! They are not known here in Sweden and I had not come across any of their designs in English cross stitch magazines.

It was when I joined the Christmas ornie SAL 2015 that I discovered three of their Santa designs (The Night Before Christmas). I fell in love and started to stitch one of the PS Santas, and as I stitched I fell even more in love. Then I started to check out their charts in online shops and I was thrilled with all the sweet designs that I found, especially since I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Xmas and Santas:)

Then I found out they are retiring - oh, no! - so when our lovely host announced this SAL I just had to join in and share my love of the PS designs with my fellow stitchers:)

I am close to finishing my PS Xmas ornament for August...


...not long to go now!

I also have to see about aquiring some more Xmas PS charts - at the moment I have five charts including the free chart on their website.

Although, how I am ever going to be able to decice which charts I am going to purchase, I don't know...!

Happy PS stitching!

Annie
