Staining with Paint - Christmas Folk by Hands on Design (FFO)

 I wanted to try my hand at staining with the DIY paint that Chantelle introduced in her Patreon video tutorials.  I knew the Christmas Folk paddle would be perfect.  I think it came out pretty much the way I wanted it to.

Christmas Folk - Hands on Design (FFO)

 

I decided to purchase an additional folk paddle and try my hand at the paint staining technique that I learned in Chantelle 141's patreon.

I was pleased with the result.  

Christmas Folk

 It's a Christmas finish!

I purchased "Christmas Folk" by Cathy Habermann of Hands on Design at the Jingle Ball and was so excited I started and finished it as soon as I could.  I promised myself I wouldn't frog unless it was absolutely necessary so there is one color error (the bird is in grey, not green) and one border error. (I'm not telling which one. LOL!) I finished it on Christmas Day.  How appropriate!

Fabric:  32 ct.  light taupe lugana

Floss:  DMCs listed

I plan to FFO it this week to include in my December statistics.
