Keeping Watch
Item #132


#3 to the First Noel Series

This design was stitched one over one on 32 ct linen by Zweigart®.  You can use any linen from your stash. A large variety of DMC threads along with two blending filaments by Kreinik, #032 & #001 was used.  Both Kreinik where used in the cloud and #032 was used along with DMC B5200 for the stars. 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, color chart with symbols, the instruction, lamb charm, and three glass beads.
