When I was trying to decide what to stitch at the end of October, I knew that I had not stitched the last four months in the Cricket Collection monthly series - so I knew I could not get November done before Christmas, I then picked December. Some of these monthly patterns I have changed the month color, and when I really gave December a look decided that I wanted to stitched on Opalescent Linen - so I knew a few things would need to be changed. Here is what I did:
I stitched the lettering in WDW1280 Verdigris (I needed 3 skeins on 32 Ct. Opalescnet Belfast Linen - if you use some other fabric, you might need more). Next I used B5200 in place of DMC white throughout. I also knew the #4 Kreinik 032 would not show up - so I change the snowflakes by Santa and the Letter C to Kreinik #4 001HL and used the came color for the stars and snow on the ground in the letter C. For Santa I used Rainbow Gallery Whisper W88 for his beard and for the mittens, scarf, and hat in letter E. Also, for the fur on Santa's hat and coat I used Fuzzy Stuff FZ15. The star on top of the tree on the letter M I used #4 Braid-003HL instead of the white floss. The letters B, E, and R - I used #4 Braid 102 for the angels wings, ornament, and wing of angel holding replacing the 032. I framed in a custom cherry color which brought out the red - I wanted December to
be more in the traditional colors of Christmas, and I think the finished result fits perfectly of what I wanted.
