The Big Key
I finished this Christmas cross stitch and made it into a little pillow. Sewing machine gave up on me as I was making it! I remember buying it in the 70s, so it has been a good and faithful servant.
I liked the key in the pattern, so I photographed it beside our "big key" - we actually still use it to lock our door from the inside. It would be a bit heavy to carry around in my handbag!
When I finished the cross stitch I looked at the picture on the pattern to see if I had missed anything out and spotted what I thought was my mistake. If you look at my version, you'll see that Santa's sack starts at the reindeer's back, but in the picture on the front of the pattern it starts higher up. I had almost begun to unpick the stitches, but fortunately decided to look at the chart - which shows it exactly as I had stitched it.
The pattern is Through the Woods by Barbara Ana Designs. I loved stitching it and I think the colours are gorgeous.
Love, Liz
