PICTURE PERFECT

I’m delighted with how this cross stitch photo of my nieces turned out. I started it well before Christmas, but then I turned my attention to my seasonal card stitching and it took a back seat until I picked it back up again in early December. Luckily, as my nieces were not coming over from Holland until just after Christmas, it bought me a bit of extra time and I finally completed my stitch on Christmas Eve. The girls loved it and even posed for me in front of the Christmas tree. It was made using the DMC* Stitch Your Photo service and I’m really impressed with how well it turned out. It was definitely a challenge given the similarity of colours, but I think it really looks like the original photo.
