This is a Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery design. I am thrilled to bits with this piece. I enjoyed it so much and all the little birds and characters are too cute. I stitched this on 14 count aida that I had on hand when I first started it. Its a marbled green and I'm pretty sure it was DMC that I bought on clearance. I think it looks great with the colors in the design.
The border is so fun. It wasn't too tricky either and actually stitched up pretty easily.
I did end up backstitching some of the parts that were not showing up well and I'm glad I did because it makes the images pop. I also reversed the colors for the outer and inner border. The green I used on the outer border was intended for the inner lines but I thought the green would look good against the green fabric.
I don't know which block is my favorite...maybe Ten Lords a'Leaping, but I like Three French Hens too.
I'm so happy to have finally finished this piece. I'm not sure what I will do with it. I think it will great as a pillow so maybe I will do that. I've got all year to decide to have it ready for next Christmas!
It feel nice to have a finish and hopefully it will be a trend for the year!!
'Til next time...
Happy stitching!

Woohoo that's a big finish to kick off 2015! Congratulations. Your floss changes are perfect with that fabric. I would have it framed, it's too cute to sit on!
Looks great! I love The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery's patterns! I am currently working on The Mysterious Halloween Town. I just found your blog yesterday and really enjoy your posts. Your choices for the CCSC have introduced me to some new pattern designers, like cloudsfactory, so thanks! Keep stitching!
Congrats on an adorable finish :)
