Using Christmas Thread

Hello my friends.

I have been unwell with flu the few weeks.

No stitching at all till late yesterday:(

I decided after seeing Fiona`s stocking block

to use a Christmas thread for wording.

One of my sister`s gave me 

Cottage Garden Thread: Mistletoe

as part of my gift last Christmas.

I thought it suited July block,

so I am using it in this quilt.

I will re stitch block one`s words to match. 

I am pleased with this block.

The stand and topping have gold thread,which makes it sparkle.

I used DMC 3052 for tie and back stitching of holly.

The blanket stitch on holly is DMC 936.

The pudding DMC 3047.

Heart DMC 816.

Berry DMC 221.

I have cut out applique pieces for next block.

I only need to work out what size my background piece is to be.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
