Use a small piece of 32ct linen cross stitching one over one. You
can use most any snippet of linen in any count from your stash, but
not too dark so the color won’t bleed through, because the entire
design is filled in. To achieve a realistic look a large variety of
DMC threads are used. Also used are Kreinik 032 blending filament
and DMC B5200. If you love Christmas as much as designer Marie
Driskill does, you'll agree when stitching an heirloom ornament for
Christmas it should be as realistic as possible. As always when she
is stitching smalls she uses 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, palm tree
charm, and three glass beads.
