Finished Peace Tree by M-Designs

framed peace tree cross stitch

update: fully finished object! I picked up a silver frame while we were holiday shopping and finally did something with the Peace Tree so it could be displayed for the holidays. 

I finished Peace Tree by M-Designs the other night during the lunar eclipse. (It was amazing to watch, by the way!) I accidentally deleted my progress pics before I uploaded them to Flickr (oops!) so I don’t have my usual slide show progress video to share for this one, just the finished pic.

I stitched this over one using DMC 500 floss, Mill Hill frosted glass seed beads #62047, and the purple star Mill Hill treasure for the topper on a 28 count evenweave Silkweaver Solo dyed fabric. It’s hard to see in the picture, but the fabric has tints of purple and green in it, which is why I chose the beads and floss in those colors.

It’s been awhile since I did tiny stitching over one, so it took me awhile to get this one done, about two and a half weeks total I think. I didn’t have as much stitching time as I’d like to have had, but when do we ever, right? I was a little worried at first that it was going to be a difficult project, but once you get going on it things come together pretty quickly!

Thanks for stopping by the check out my stitching 🙂

Happy Stitching!

Peppermint Twist Chevron Ornament

A fun and easy holiday ornament design for all stitching skill levels 🙂

Peppermint Twist Free Cross Stitch Ornament Pattern

Download the free cross stitch pattern here as a PDF

download now

Pattern size is 63 x 63 stitches. I charted with red, green, and sparkly Kreinik thread, but of course you can use any colors you’d like from your stash.

You could go traditional reds or mix it up and choose colors to match your existing holiday decorations. Finishing is also flexible, since the design is square with four panels it could also be finished up as a biscornu with a button in the center. However you decide to stitch and finish it, I would love to see your work, please do come back and share a photo.

Please like, pin, and share to spread the holiday cheer!

Loretta

Happy Holidays Stitchy Friends!

OrnamentClub1CrossStitchedbyPam

Stitched by Pam R.

Photos are rolling in from this year’s Ornament Club participants.

I can’t tell you how ridiculously happy this makes me!! I’m over the moon with enthusiasm for stitching and for the community around this website. You folks rock!

This is Pam R’s first stitched ornament in the group. She used a darker DMC on the green parts to get a better contrast with the fabric that she chose and I think it looks awesome 🙂
