Christmas Garden by Blackbird (New Start)

 

This is my start on the Christmas Garden.  I got started and couldn't stop.  What a pleasure to stitch!

Fabric:  30 ct. linen, Weeks Dye Works

Floss:  I changed all the flosses.  I wanted a brighter version that matched the rest of my Christmas decor. 

I selected:  

RED - DMC 115 (variegated red)

LIGHT GOLD -  WDW Bee's Knees for all the stars

DARKER GOLD -  DMC 680 for the darker gold on the pots with a gold silk lame thread to make them look like shiny bronze.

DEER -  I decided I wanted my deer to be more brown so I picked CCW Almost Auburn. 

GREEN -  CCW Pine Needles.

I will be stitching this project on calendar days ending in the number 5. (5, 15 & 25).  It is also listed on my WIPGO board for 2026.
