The Primitive Merry Christmas Pillow is a recent release from Abby Rose Designs. I knew when I saw it I HAD to stitch this beauty. So off went my order to 123Stitch. And for once I had the recommended fabric to stitch it on, Brash by Picture This Plus.
The chart arrived and since I want to stitch this multiple times for friends, I selected first a piece of mystery hand dyed gold mottled fabric I had in my stash as well as the Brash which is more green than the gold in the picture. I also planned on using Victorian Motto Sampler Shoppe threads rather than what was recommended. NOTE: The symbols on this chart used for the berries and the holly leaves are almost identical and extremely difficult to read.
The design size is 90w x 79h.
Recommended Threads/Victorian Motto Colors I used:
- GAST Cherry Bark/VMSS Heirloom Berry
- GAST Cranberry/VMSS Varigated Cranberry
- DMC 3371/VMSS Autumn Bark
- GAST Forest Glade/VMSS Black Forest
- Weeks Dye Works Loden/ VMSS The Holly and the Ivy
- GAST Parchment/VMSS Sewing Notions
The second one I stitched on 16ct Picture This Plus Brash (recommended fabric) with the recommended colors.
