just a few changes drumsticks 680 drum blue 311 red 3858 green 3012 letter d 372 acorns 680 eagle wish i had stitched the body in a lighter color 3371 is so stark making this eagle look headless instead of just bald all you see is body teresa w asked if i complete each x stitch before going on to the next in this design because there are large areas of one color i will do the bottom leg of the cross stitch all the way across a row and then complete the top part of the stitch on the way back in smaller areas i will complete each stitch individually being careful not to lose the floss behind the threads of the linen i seem to be doing a lot of ripping out feel like i m stitching this twice as i m going along i m choosing lighter shades the ripping out is creating a great deal of frustration but i am determined to complete this entire alphabet the design is just wonderful i can t wait to move on to e is for embroidery i m already thinking of ideas for those spools of thread

blue aida dmc cotton and metallic floss beads i prefer working on linen but since i needed to get this stitched and delivered in a hurry i had to work with fabric that i had in this case it was aida

stitched seed beads across the top dangled seed bead icicles across the bottom and knotted larger beads randomly in the fringe i was going for an icy look metallic snowflakes are scattered in the
