Joyeux Noel

From the wonderful Joyeux Noel book , the sampler:



stitched on the recommended 30 ct. Lucky Penny linen with the sampler threads called for...



except I did substitute the DMC equivalent to the Crescent Colours Petite Maison as the skein of that I had blended right into the fabric and couldn't be seen.



such an enjoyable stitch...my first finish for 2010!



Thanks for looking!
