"The Snow Day"

This ornament is one in a series of six ornaments called "The Magic of Snow Globes". This design was stitched one over one on 28ct Cashel Cream Linen by Zweigart®. To make this heirloom Christmas ornament as realistic as possible a large variety of DMC shading is required. When stitching smalls I use a small scroll frame because it’s light weight and easy to handle. In the package you will find the pattern, chart with symbols, and the instructions. With the instructions you will find two additional suggestions for finishing this ornament.

Other items needed to finish pattern:
One Package of Mill Hill Petite Glass Beads #42010
18in. of Small White Cording
Acid Free Mat Board or Cardboard
Solid Color Backing Fabric (I used Red Velvet)
