MOJO STITCHES - CHRISTMAS BELLS PIN-KEEP

Christmas decorating can be a bit of a challenge in Australia: snowmen and reindeer don't feel quite right in the middle of Summer! I have always loved the Christmas Bell Blandfordia nobilis, which blooms in my state around the holidays.  I created this design to show a different side of Christmas, one of warm days full of bright flowers, and drifitng eucalyptus instead of snow.

This design has a stitch count of 99w x 49h and uses full crosses over two and Algerian Eyelts stitched around a central cross-stitch.  In my model, I used one strand of floss over two threads of linen.

It can be stitched on linen, Aida or evenweave.  Model was stitched before my collaboration with Cottage Garden Threads.  The design also looks stunning stitched in the Bookshelf Edit range.  The thread packs listed here include my recommendations.
